Jan 14, 2011This five bucks wasted for one or two hours of pointless combat. Save your money. Try Awakening, Warden's Keep, or Stone Prisoner if you want DA DLC>

Dec 13, 2012A really pointless DLC that focuses on Dragon Age's weakest aspect.: The combat. The DLC seems more like a mini-game than an actual piece of serious content. While it is slightly amusing to play as the Darkspawn, it gets old after a few minutes once you realize you don't care about them at all. Truely Bioware: Why do this? I get the idea behind it, but somethings are only good on paper.

In the end, Darkspawn Chronicles is a cheap piece of DLC with a number of issues, but if you enjoy Dragon Age’s combat system (or the prospect of two more achievements), you might some enjoyment out of it, especially if you read the codex entries that explain what happened while the Wardens were under Alistair’s employ.

Although the idea of fighting along the Darkspawns is surely a thrilling premise, Darkspawn Chronicles proves to be a fairly mediocre add-on, unable to assure a fun and engaging experience throughout the one and only hour of gameplay it has to offer.
-
While a few of the Darkspawn, the Ogre and Shriek, are fun to play around with, the short length, lack of customization options, and absence of any real character interaction make this bit of content too straightforward to be especially memorable.
