Crimson Alliance's mercenary gets the spotlight
Certain Affinity's action RPG Crimson Alliance is gradually approaching it's September 7 launch date and to help tide you over, they've released the first of a three-part trailer series introducing the games playable classes. This time around, it's Gnox, the mercenary. Direwolf the wizard and Moonshade the assassin, the rest of the game's trio, will be getting their spotlight soon enough. In the mean time, it's worth noting that Crimson Alliance has been announced as a reward for XBLA users who purchase all five of the Summer of Arcade releases, as if you needed any more motivation.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Looks like a very fun dungeon crawler, very reminiscent of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Hope it's as fun as it looks. Oooooh, I want this game so bad! But fuck Microsoft for putting a game that REQUIRES Kenict! Such a dick move. Ms. Splosion Man would've been better. :/ It may be misleading to call Crimson Alliance an RPG though, as it is apparently more Gauntlet with basic equipment slots than even Diablo, much less an RPG. 11:40 PM on 06.18.2013 Here's The DTOID Show E3 Wrap-up!Hey everybody!

Now, we take naps.
