The value story

December 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $20.99. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 18 in the 5 years tracked, about 14 weeks apart. Today's $31.99 at 20 percent off still sits 52 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

At full price it scores 42. The current cut is what makes it a 45.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 25 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games that feel like it, FATE ($7.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Alaloth: Champions of The Four Kingdoms ($34.99, scores 28).

This site sampled 472 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 12 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written December 2021 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 481 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 214 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

At 11.4 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

This is a great RPG form the PS2/GC era! Hack n Slash game play. Forgotten Relams setting. DnD systems. Pick a Fighter, Ranger, or Mage and get to questing!

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is a classic action RPG that takes the familiar Dungeons & Dragons setting in a more immediate, combat-driven direction. Rather than following the slower, party-focused structure traditionally associated with Baldur's Gate, it concentrates on dungeon exploration, real-time battles, equipment, character progression, and cooperative play. The Steam version lists Square One Games Inc. and...
