For those who aren't sure about it after the first, Dark Alliance 2 is a 10 compared to the originals 7. It is amazing.

That might be a bit of hyperbole. Sure, it was great when it came out, but it came out 18 years ago.

I could see a lot of people who've never played it before (sadly) thinking it's not a great game if they play it for the first time now. It's not a hugely deep game, the story is barely there, character depth isn't as robust as a lot of modern games... but if you're basically looking for an old-school hack-and-slash, it can be a lot of fun.

And a cliffhanger ending that never got resolved. -_-

I feel like that was pretty much the calling card of that series - nothing was ever going to be completely resolved. Every story ends with the cliffhanger leading into the next one.

Beat the evil ghost woman? Here's a vampire! Beat him? Oops, here comes the mummy pharaoh from Mulhorand! If it'd kept going, DA3 probably would have had us fight off that guy only to find that the Tuigan Horde was invading. Then the next game would be something out of Chult.
