Our Expert Score

85/100

Dark Alliance on mobile is a surprisingly competent port of the 2001 hack-and-slash classic. As someone who played the original on PS2, I was worried about the controls, but the virtual joystick feels remarkably natural. The water physics—which were legendary at the time—are still impressive here.

It’s a linear RPG, which is actually a blessing on mobile where open worlds can feel bloated. The three-class system (Archer, Sorceress, Fighter) offers distinct playstyles. While it doesn't have the complexity of modern D&D titles like BG3, the pure joy of crawling through the sewers of Baldur's Gate to slay kobolds is still there. It’s a nostalgic trip worth every penny for old-school fans.
