While there’s not a huge amount in the way of upgrades from the 2001 original, this new release does include support for 4K resolutions on the Xbox One X, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Because of that the two franchises share. Dark Alliance is a set of action RPG/ hack and slash console games with 3D graphics with completely different gameplay tone from the original.
