I downloaded Crimson Alliance last night and gave it a couple of run throughs. It's a dungeon crawler that is pretty straight forward. Three character classes to choose from: wizard, fighter, rogue. I had the best luck with the wizard's combo of ranged attacks. Combat is pretty straight forward. I don't think the game has the skill tree depth of say Torchlight (or the lot hunting) but Crimson Alliance has what Torchlight is missing: co-op. Frankly with my recent play-through of Kill Team and now Crimson Alliance I wish I had a regular gaming friend with which to play. The downside to Crimson Alliance co-op play is that it seems some of the puzzles are unsolvable without help. Kind of a drag since I haven't taught Moxie how to use a controller yet.
The game looks like a dungeon crawler, controls like a dungeon crawler, and is generally fun. If you're the kind of person who often has a friend or friends over for gaming then definitely take a look. If you're on your own then stick with Torchlight.
