Other games like BG: Dark Alliance

My friend and I started playing the oXbox version of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II and are having a blast. Are there any other co-op games (modern ones, perhaps?) with this same style of play (Diablo, Titan Quest, etc) that you folks would recommend for the 360?


Similar games I know of:

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance I
Champions of Norrath (is this on the oXbox?)
Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes


Recommended so far
Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2
Hunter: the Reckoning
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel



Thanks!

Ok, so the gameplay is not very similiar but the Dynasty Warriors games do involve hack-n-slashing and local co-op and have some RPGish elements (not much, but some).

I would highly recomend DW6 for the 360. There is also Samurai Warriors 2 (little bit older, based on the engine for DW5) and Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2.

Avoid DW: Strikeforce as it is a spinoff port from the PSP and sucks. And the various Empires games are more like expansions and only worth it if you really like the base game.

Thanks for the recommendation, but looking at the gameplay, it looks to action-RPG/God of War-ish. I'm looking for more of a Diablo/Titan Quest styled RPG.

Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is pretty great, and of the same vintage as BG:DA.

Borderlands has a similar vibe but is first-person.

marvel: ultimate alliance 2 is basically dark alliance with wolverine and deadpool and spiderman etc

Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 are comic-book versions of the two-stick Diablo Clone games.

Hunter: the Reckoning is an oXbox game that is very much like a two-stick Diablo clone.

Sacred 2 is a decent Diablo clone with a ginormous world and more gear than you can count.

Torchlight and Darkstone.

Darkstone is older now but I would describe it as Diablo 1.5, or Diablo II Lite. And for what it's worth, I think I enjoyed it more than Diablo II.

omg torchlight

I love that game and it is in all ways worth playing EXCEPT that the current version has no co-op, so if that's a requirement you'll have to wait for Torchlight 2.

Those are great games and I have them on my PC ...but aren't on the 360.

Keep 'em coming, though!

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is another game of that exact same style. I'm not sure if it's on the xbox 360 backward compatibility list and I'm too lazy to look.

Oh man, I've probably played through BG: DA 1 and 2 about 7 times already. I fucking love it, and I can't recommend Borderlands enough. It's very similar to the DAs, only it has guns, it's an FPS, and the graphics are way better. My boyfriend got it for me for my anniversary and we've been playing it a lot together (the co-op isn't bad if you have a wide/big TV)

Ohhh right, xbox. I've never owned one, I can't help there.

Oh um...Bard's Tale (another oXbox game). Everyone always forgets about Bard's Tale, but it's the same type of game. I think it may even use the Dark Alliance engine.

Yeah, but he wants co-op, which Bard's Tale doesn't have. Still, I enjoyed it, although I got tired of it after I realized I had to fight my way back down through all those floors of some tower I had spent the previous 20+ minutes fighting up to the top.

There's also a WW2 type game that I think also runs on the same engine. It's called Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers. I know it came out for the PS2 and Xbox, and I am pretty sure it allows for co-op. It's generally not credited with being very good, but who knows, the reviews could be wrong. I actually own it but only played through the introduction and don't remember much about it.
