Crimson Alliance Preview

Crimson Alliance is a new IP from developer Certain Affinity. They've had their hands in a couple games you might have heard of; everything from Halo: Reach to  Call of Duty: Black Ops and even Left 4 Dead, all renowned for their top-tier social and multiplayer experiences. But with Crimson Alliance, Certain Affinity has ditched the guns and glory for swords and sorcery. Our own Kevin Kelly had a chance to try it out recently and give us his thoughts:

"While the game is a hack and slasher at heart, if you're playing with the Mercenary or the Warrior solo, you'll be very thankful when someone playing as a Wizard joins up and adds ranged combat to your party. You can also pick up several special "skills" throughout the game that get mapped to your d-pad, and those are basically equippable items for each character. The Mercenary, for instance, can drop a turret that automatically fires bolts at enemies, and so on."

So if you've been hankering for a Torchlight or Diablo 3-like experience, check out our Crimson Alliance preview!
