A little steeper than expected for such an old game and seemingly basic port. Oh well, might wait a bit then.

I haven't played it in over a decade so it's hard to tell how gracefully it has aged, but back then on a console it was pretty darn good.

I really do despise that they do this. 30 USD for a game that, while good in its day, just is not going to sell at that price. And it doesn't even include Dark Alliance 2.
Look at games like Doom 3, which retailed at 9.99 USD. There's simply no reason a bare bones port should cost that much.
I guarantee that if they sold it for 10-15 it'd sell 5x the amount at launch.

The funny thing is, for some reason I have in my mind that it was a lower priced game when it was released... so this might cost as much now as it did then lol

It's freakin' amazing!! Back in the day, official Diablo 3 was more than a decade away. I remember when I played it, I thought: "DAMN, this is like Diablo 3" and "this is how a Diablo 3 should look like if it ever comes out" (in addition to "wow, those are beautiful water effects!!11".
It's also REALLY FUN in CO-OP!!
I highly recommend this to anyone who has never played it!

Back in the day I thought it was fucking awesome in co-op. This was the first Diablo-style game I’d played with couch co-op. I have fond memories of playing the shit out of this game with my college roommate (who never had any interest in this style of game before)
nowadays... not really sure how it holds up when we have Diablo 3 with local co-op. I haven’t played it in almost 20 years. And definitely wouldn’t play it single player.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I love this game and will definitely buy it. Would have liked to see a $20 price point though, $30 is a bitter pill to swallow since it's just a re-release and not a remaster.
Second game when?

I believe Dark Alliance games are still better that the shallow diablo clones. Modern games bet everything on drops, end game, and ridicolus numbers, while completely forgetting to do a compelling, fun and worth playing first run. That's the reason I don't play those games anymore, thery are too boring.
Maybe I'll dip with Dark Alliance even with the unjustified high price. This series was really fun.

Games were great at the time, but playing them recently I can say they haven't held up to the test of time, imo.

And £30 is over $41 here in the UK. Was super up for it but I'm not paying that.
Yea I was somewhat interested until that $30 price tag. I was thinking $15 or $20. $30 is a big fat nope. I used to play this game at a friend's house and loved it. Never got to beat it as he moved off to college and I never went back and played it again. Maybe jump on it when it drops in price.

30$ is too much for this pre-alpha state game. I understand the nostalgia and everything but they didn’t even try. Come on!!

It's just under $35, the UK price includes vat but the US price doesn't.

It was considered good at the time, but I don't think it aged particularly gracefully. It is basically a (even) dumber Diablo where you spam basic attacks at everything on the screen that moves and collect a billion pieces of uninspired loot. If you really like diablo-esque RPGs you probably won't hate it, but it's pretty mediocre all around for today's standards.

aRPGs like these, Diablo 1, X-Men Legends actually hold up really wel, as they weren't trying to be MMO lites, like the more modern stuff does.

Awful game. The second is much better, but still. And yet, it still looks more enjoyable than the new one coming this year.

I think you are right. I think it retailed for $39.99 back when it came out. It was a mid-tier solid game back in the day, but nothing special. As an Xbox gamer, it was a cut below Morrowind, Fable, KOTOR I&II, Jade Empire and Arx Fatalis. At the price they want to charge for the re-release, they should have included Dark Alliance II.
I'm playing through this series right now, getting ready for the new Dark Alliance game. I'm on the final tower of Dark Aliance and about done. I'm playing co-op with my daughter. It's a fun game and I'm enjoying myself, but it's nothing epic.

Have a look at the trailer, mate. It's a game from 20+ years ago with a sheen of gloss on top. Perhaps a slight exaggeration, but it's just so by-the-numbers and unimaginative you honestly shouldn't waste your time, unless you get off on shit productions.

Regardless it's still £30 here and I'm not paying that lol

I may wait for a sale
As an action/adventure game with rpg elements, it’s a very good game. The levels are well designed and is paced rather well. It’s also not the easiest to emulate, so having another way to play it is a nice option. At $30, it’s a “maybe/yes” for fans but at $20 it’s a no-brainer.
