About this game
Set in a huge open world, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen presents a rewarding action combat experience.

These partners fight independently, demonstrating prowess and ability that they have developed based on traits learned from each player. Players can share these Pawns online and reap rewards of treasure, tips and strategy hints for taking down the terrifying enemies. Pawns can also be borrowed when specific skills are needed to complete various challenging quests.

An okay game if you can get it for a low enough price. Graphics and gameplay are very outdated. Can be fun. I'd say, if you like Action RPGs, and this is on sale for less than $5, sure, go ahead.

My favorite fantasy RPG. You like those old Greek claymation movies? This is the game for you.
You get to create and build 2 characters. The world is so different than soo many other games.
Classes and options for days. Really cool spells. Also climbing.

Whole lotta fun at a great price point. Some of the mechanics are janky and I wish there was more loot but it was cool to play an open world souls-style attempt at an RPG. definitely worth the price.

Hella fun, older game, but the world is beautiful. If has that generic DND feeling and is like a low rent dragon age, but still amazingly enjoyable.

Although, showing it's age in certain areas, (inability to fast travel easily, nonexistent story, horrendous difficulty spikes for no reason) this game still has one of the most fun combat systems I've ever used.
Scaling a hydra and stabbing away until it's head flies off sounds like a quick time event but here it's real gameplay.
Highly recommended as long as your main goal isn't the story or a fully realized world.

I'm surprised at how well this game has aged! So much customization, interesting combat and companion system (Pawns), grim atmosphere, and more!
