Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is finally coming to PC after 18 years. The game is also already verified for Steam Deck for on-the-go adventures.
Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is a sequel to the original Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance. The Dark Alliance series is an action spinoff based on the isometric RPG Baldur’s Gate which originally released in 1998.
Instead of the typical tactical combat using actual tabletop RPG rules (the original is based off the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition ruleset), fighting is more dynamic and has more in common with other Action RPGs like Diablo.
