Classic ARPG games like Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance aren’t necessarily a rare occurrence on mobile. But that doesn’t make it any less exciting when one of them does happen to appear. And that’s what gamers on Android are looking at today as Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance has just arrived for devices. The game can be picked up on Google Play and will cost you a premium price of $9.99.

While the majority of the mobile game landscape these days is littered with free-to-play options, ports of many classic titles remain a premium offering. In fact you’ll find a handful of mobile ports of different ARPGs from the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Including Icewind Dal: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced, and Siege of Dragonspear. All set at the same $9.99 price.

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance offers full controller support

Many games on Android are ported with great care and end up offering some excellent touch controls. But touch controls are not for everyone and it’s great when the developers recognize that. As pointed out by Android Police, Dark Alliance has full controller support so you don’t need to use the touch controls if you prefer not to.

Though honestly they’re pretty decent if you do decide to give them a shot. Should you still prefer a mobile controller, you’ve got plenty to choose from. Like the Razer Kishi V2 which is our personal favorite.

In addition to controller support, the game has three available classes you can play, and many hours of content to sink your teeth into. There’s even a local co-op feature if you have a second controller and want to play the game with someone else. And for $9.99, that seems like a pretty good value. All of that said, the game is fairly large in size at 2GB. So make sure you’ve got the space if you’re on older devices.
