Crimson Alliance sends you and three friends a-crawlin' again

by Mike Schramm on Jun 7th 2011 2:45AM

Here's a look at some gameplay of Crimson Alliance, that Certain Affinity-developed four-player dungeon crawler that was officially announced last week. It looks like pretty standard hack-and-slash fare, with three different players (color-coded, seems like) bashing, casting, and slicing their way through dungeons of baddies, collecting the sweet, sweet loot that drops from their corpses.

We would say something here about how constantly fighting wave after wave of enemies in dimly-lit dungeons eventually gets boring, but you know what? If the quality and polish are there when they need to be, it doesn't. It really doesn't.

I think XBLA could stand to have more kickass hack-and-slash games, or at the very least, more games in a similar vein to Castle Crashers. I'm aware there are several, but I'm afraid to touch Daggerdale, Arkadian Warriors completely sucks, and nothing else stands out at the moment really.

Torchlight.

I think he meant multiplayer.

D&D: Daggerdale is a bit rough around the edges, but I had a lot of fun with the online co-op.

I did completely forget about Torchlight somehow, so thank you for that. I've put about 20 hours into it on PC, but even for a Diablo-esque game, it went pretty dry pretty fast. Perhaps I'll pick it back up soon.
