Crimson Alliance

Reiner and Miller take the new action/RPG for a spin. Come along for the ride in our extended hands-on commentary video.

There have been some great titles in this year's XBLA Summer of Arcade. As we look ahead past August and the end of the big promotion, September's downloadable lineup is already looking strong, especially thanks to the new title from Certain Affinity.

Borrowing some of the best ideas from games like Diablo and Gauntlet, Crimson Alliance plays as a fast-paced action/RPG with three unique character classes, multiple difficulty settings, huge secret-filled levels, and plenty of hacking, slashing, and spellcasting.

We had the opportunity to play the first few levels of the upcoming game. If you're still on the fence about whether the game is for you, watch our extended video preview below, complete with commentary from the editors as we play.
