It's not a game for those who are prone to giving up – classic RPGs tend to be extremely difficult. The new release is technically a remastered version of the original 2001 hit, but it changes nothing about the gameplay and very little about the graphics, making for a true 2001 gaming experience.īaldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is considered to be a classic hack-and-slash style RPG of the early 2000s, initially having been released on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Gamecube (as well as a Game Boy Advance version). Now, fans of the near-20-year-old RPG can finally download the game on the Nintendo Switch eShop for on-the-go play. The seminal RPG Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance was ported to modern gaming systems recently, but the Switch version was left out of the initial wave.
