D&D: Dark Alliance Trailer
The trailer of the game makes it feel quite action-packed, in terms of audio as well as the video, all thanks to the rock music being played in the background. The Dark Alliance trailer shows the various battles taking place with a variety of weapons like swords and arrows are being used in conjunction with additional powers and spells. The trailer also showcases the frost giants, wraiths, and beholders that will be present in the game. You will also spot a few characters jamming out to rock music as well. Not the type of music you would associate an RPG game with. You can also check out the explainer trailer that was released sometime back.
D&D: Dark Alliance Gameplay
The game has been set in the frozen world of Taerun from Icewind Dale. Looking at what has been shown from the pre-release gameplay footage, the world looks quite impressive and gives a cold winter’s vibe. Overall, it will be a fast action and heavy game as seen from many of the gameplay reveals. However, players will not be able to create their own character and will have to settle with choosing from the four characters that are within the game.
Drizzt looks like the main character from one of the older Assassins Creeds games as he’s got two scimitars that he can wield around with lightning-quick speeds and is also able to call out his astral panther to help him attack the enemies. Wulfgar is a RegHead Barbarian that will wield his hammer to crush enemies that choose to cross his path. Cattie-Brie is here to protect Taerun from the enemies with her highly accurate bow and arrow shots. The fourth and last character to choose is Bruenor. He is armed with the shield and an axe that he will use to block and attack the enemies that come right into his path.
