Dragon's Crown

[Depression Moon]

New Game from Atlus and Vannilaware. I believe it was announced a year or two ago, but I haven't heard much from it since until recently.














Dragon's crown is an Action-RPG/Beat em Up that takes inspiration from Golden Axe. The game will have towns where players can go to shops to purchase equipment get loot appraised, and take up additional quests. it is said that the Fighter, Amazon, and Dwarf classes are for beginners, while the Wizard, Elf, and Sorceress are for the more advanced players.

Dragon's Crown releases on Aug 6.

It's a huge hit in Japan so far. It's received good reviews across the board and it's sold out everywhere there, even the Vita version, incredibly.

I want to play it because it reminds me so much of Golden Axe, which I had so much fun playing back in the day. I'll probably wait awhile to do so, however.

I have the JP version. I'm already sick of it. This could be due to playing by myself with AI partners, though. Also, I'm using the dwarf. I originally wanted to use the wizard, but picked the dwarf to see how many cool moves he has. His upward throw is pretty damn powerful and causes a domino effect too. I'll use wizard next because he's just like the wizard from the Capcom D&D games (he should be, considering the games were programmed by the head of Vanillaware). So...yeah.

Spuuky, you'll be appalled when you see the second boss.

A giant harpy.....with enormous boobs that flop around. And she has no arms, so it makes it even funnier.

I'm not sure if I should put it in a spoiler tag, but you fight her maybe 25 minutes into the game, after all the tutorial crap.

I like how the Dwarf's veins glow and how his muscles jiggle when we walks.

[Polnareff]

There's a move that the Dwarf has, that I can't figure out exactly what's going on. If you hold Square, he poses and starts sparkling. If you let go he sparkles for a couple seconds. I thought maybe it made him invulnerable, but it apparently doesn't.

A super in-depth, but spoilerly review

I saw some videos for it. I didn't realize how ugly and vulgar the art style really was. But I still think I really want it. The girlfriend and I have been going through lots of couch co-op games. They're too rare to pass over something that may be fun to play just because its art style is trying to be offensive or something. At least it better be fun to play

[Depression Moon]

I don't see how the art style is trying to be offensive. The game looks gorgeous to me.

[Spuuky]

Yeah, I don't see how this could be construed as offensive in any way.
