Dragon's Crown...2D brawling goodness

[TheClash603]

This game f*cking sucks.  It looks nice.   It plays like balls.

Thanks for ruining my next week gaming plans.

So...it's from Vanillaware, is what you're saying.

 I enjoy it, i also enjoyed muramasa as well. So far Dragon's crown is fun. It is a bit slow, but there are still many elements that make it an awesome game, not just the art style.

How so?
I've been thoroughly enjoying it.
my only complaint is that the wizard blinds everyone else when he's using his spells; can't see shit sometimes

[geise]

I have no problem with how it plays.  Using the Sorceress or Wizard I kinda question decisions for how you cast magic, but otherwise it plays just like Princess Crown.  I have been enjoying the game immensely.  I might even get it later for PS3 so I can play it on a nice larger screen.  It does get kinda hard to see at some points on the Vita when the camera zooms out.

have any of you guys tried the online co-op?

[Arkhan]

Well, here's my list of "WTFs"

1) The pacing sucks.   It's somehow less smooth than Princess Crown because you have to tell the thief dipshit to go grab things and open stuff. 
2) The right thumbstick moves a cursor to click stuff.   Why.  This isn't a Wii game.
3) Using the thumbstick to move your character is awful.
4) Dash + Attack are the same button
5) The archer misses shots with her arrow while getting punched.  That's cute.
6) The elf runs out of arrows, and then they mysteriously drop off of stuff you hit.  This makes boss battles about the dumbest thing ever with the Elf.  You unload from across the screen, dash attack to the other side.    Gather all the arrows, repeat.

The presentation is nice though.

I'm a little more forgiving, but yeah telling the thief to open doors and treasure chests is kind of unnecessary.  It's easy on Vita with the touch screen, but man it seems like it would be annoying on the PS3 version.  If you want to use the D-Pad to control you character just change it in the options.  I started with the analogue and switched it.  Seems better now.

[Arkhan]

Yeah but then you're stuck navigating the piss poor item menu with the thumbstick.

Why you can't use L/R for that is beyond me.

also, why your gear shows up is beyond me.   You cant use it in battle.  Youre f*cking wearing it and swinging it around with the square button.

Dragons Crown PS4 edition will solve the thief thingie...

I think I'm just gonna go "pick up" D&D Mystara for now and wait for this one to drop in price.

[Arkhan]

Good move, honestly.   I quit playing DC to play D&D on Saturn.  It was more fun overall. 


For the amount of hype it got, I expected better.

[munchiaz]

^ the gripes you have with the game Arkhan seem to be little annoyances. The game is not perfect, but i also don't think its ass either.  I do see where you are coming from with the thief, but this game was developed for the vita first, and thats why its in the ps3 version. It would be nice if they had an option to just allow the thief to open shit, but sometimes that can be bad because some chest are bobby trapped.

If people are still on the fence i suggest watching this very in depth review of the game

[Arkhan]

When a game is hyped to high hell and has been in planning this long, I expect better.

Even the hcg likes dragon's crown 

[Joe Redifer]

This game was hyped so much that I haven't heard much about it. Instead I get Grand Theft Auto 5 coverage non-stop because that's the status quo. But I've heard that this game "f*cking sucks". So I've got a copy coming in this week. Should I play it or should I smash my face into a wall for an hour? Which f*cking sucks less?
