Dragon’s Crown Review BagOfGames

During the golden age of the arcade, Beat ‘em ups like Golden Axe and Capcom’s Dungeons & Dragons ruled the arcade space. Developer Vanillaware takes us back to that era with modern game design, high fidelity 2D graphics, and reinvigorated couch co-op which has been missing in video games for years. All of this becomes a game that is going to keep you playing for hours on end.

20 hours of fun gameplay so far. moving on to hard mode. at the end of the day that's all that matters to me :)

r213944d ago

Really surprising and the dev wasnt kidding bout hours and hours of content! I havent finished the game and im just 10 hours in :D Still more side quests, stories and art to unlock!

Dunpeal3944d ago

yeah, it is rather repetitive once you beat the game, but I enjoy the grind of acquiring exp and better loot.

doubtful that I take every character to 99 as that's a bit of overkill for me

ShaunCameron3945d ago

I just beat the game with that Amazon chick. And all I can say is "MAN THAT GAME TESTED ME!" Especially getting the talisman thingies.

Dunpeal3945d ago

MP is where the real test comes. no mic support can get frustrating. highly annoying when ppl don't know what they're doing (eg. not beating Medusa in the first encounter and messing with the red dragon while he's asleep instead of just walking by)

Inception3944d ago

In my 1st playtrough, i can't beat the red dragon if i pass it when it sleep. I always cornered to the section when it fall down from the bridge. So i tried to do some damage to the red dragon when it sleep, escape from the room, and beat it before the bridge section. It works. Maybe some people tried the same way like me and apply it when they're playing online.

SanMarco3945d ago

Want it so bad, but that $50 is killing me for a side scroller.

Dunpeal3945d ago

i can understand that, but honestly there is a lot to this game to be a budget title. although i'm not gonna lie. $40 for the ps3 version would've probably been the sweet spot

TongkatAli3945d ago

I just got a fifty dollar ticket for pissing on a building, seriously bro, no big deal. This game is worth 60$.

miyamoto3944d ago (Edited 3944d ago )

That $50 goes a very long long way, mate.

It so happened that Dragon's Crown is one of my mostly anticipated games this year equally important like TLOU.

It so happened that Dragon's Crown is the champion of old school 2D sprite side scrolling in an era of ultra high cost 3D AAA western shooter games that encourages small indie developers to be creative with low budgets

It so happened that Dragon's Crown is published by Atlus, the unsung hero of publishing no one-wants-to-pick up niche but ground breaking Japanese games like Demon's Souls which are in need of my financial support (their parent company is now bankrupt)

I have so much fun with this game as much as do with TLOU.

Considering these factors I take great satisfaction and fun at the same time for doing something good for at the same time having fun with the game with my nephews.

You can play 4 player coop from the get go.

Inception3944d ago (Edited 3944d ago )

Well, million's of people don't complain when they wasted their $60 for the same game like CoD or sports game in every one year.

So why not try this game? It's not a yearly release and it came from Vanillaware who's popular with beautifull art, great gameplay, and music. I think $50 is really worth for their masterpiece.

Why mention PS5 when talking about PS3

Magog367d ago

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

anast367d ago

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Rynxie367d ago

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.

1Victor243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

Let me save you the time to scroll down no Warhawk or Starhawk, 2 of the best co-op games on PS3

I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.

franwex1159d ago

Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.

phoenixwing1159d ago

the game is actually good. I'd rather buy and play it than keep a sealed copy

Indigon1159d ago

Yeah I gave my brother my PS3 for free with a lot of games but I kept Folklore.

Teflon021159d ago

Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep

Seraphim1159d ago

yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.

I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.

Petebloodyonion1158d ago

I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.
https://www.pricecharting.c...
value for the game new is 60$

Hawk1986661158d ago

Its not worth much, about £20.

monkey6021158d ago

I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time

Godmars2901159d ago

And wait for emulation and/or till their PS3 dies?

franwex1159d ago

3D Dot Game Heroes is a cool game that may soon go up in price too. I enjoyed it.

Indigon1159d ago

That's one that has been quite hard to find for some time.

Godmars2901158d ago (Edited 1158d ago )

At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.

Don't talk to me about seller's regret...

nommers1159d ago

I'm so glad I kept my copy of this game.

Soy1159d ago

Great game, lots of fun - and definitely tougher to find. I'm glad I kept mine.

Teflon021159d ago

Glad I still have it. One of my fav games that gen

PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.

Godmars2901158d ago

Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.

One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.

gold_drake1158d ago

exvuse me
i still play games on my ps2.

Gardenia1158d ago

That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.

Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.

gold_drake1158d ago (Edited 1158d ago )

ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.

HankHill1158d ago

Nobody agrees with you so I guess you're the one only thinking about themself.

TheColbertinator1159d ago

Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
