Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II

A dark sorcery threatens Baldur’s Gate, and you take the role of one of five heroes answering the call to fight back. Each hero has distinct class abilities and combat strengths.

Explore more than 80 levels of dungeons and other dangerous areas, battling groups of fantasy enemies with melee weapons, ranged attacks, spells, and character abilities. Hidden areas and secret characters reward exploration.

Defeating enemies and searching locations yields hundreds of items to equip and customize. Level up your hero, develop their abilities, and forge magical weapons and armor; play the adventure alone or with a second player in co-op.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its straightforward hack-and-slash combat, character progression, and old-school fantasy feel. Nostalgia is a recurring part of its appeal, and some reviewers also enjoy playing cooperatively or experimenting with different heroes and equipment. These positives are often tempered by complaints about the asking price and problems with the PC port.
