I didn’t realise this for a while in single-player. It isn’t said anywhere, but if you do take the short rest, the game creates a checkpoint and you don’t have to respawn at the very start of the level when you die. At the end of a big fight, when the enemies are slain and you’ve wobbled around picking up all of the loot, you get the option to replenish your supplies and health, or you can skip that and get a boost to your loot rarity instead. Most of the fights are overwhelming experiences and are drawn-out slugfests while you try to avoid succumbing to enemy attacks – attacks which can easily kill you in one combo if you forget to dodge at the right time – while slowly whittling away at the horde around you.įinish this and you can take a Short Rest: this system is both thematically very appropriate for D&D fans, but also infuriatingly opaque. It’s hard to escape the feeling that the game isn’t really designed for solo players. Maybe it’s because I was playing as a Dwarf and was quite literally smaller than the goblins attacking me in groups, but I took a real pasting early on. Playing it in single-player is an exercise in pain, as it turns out.

When I selected Bruenor Battlehammer, Dwarf Fighter, as my Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance character, I was promised a mighty tank that would withstand whatever the enemy could throw at him.
