    It's quite possible that I would have been even more taken with this game had plenty of friends been in the area so that we could cooperatively slaughter the forces of evil. Even as a solo experience though, Dragon's Crown is a blast to play. Fiddling around with all of its inventory is sometimes bothersome but it never overshadows the entertaining thrill ride of smashing things to a bloody pulp. Whether it's this original or the enhanced one coming in 2018, anyone with an affinity for beat-em-ups mixed with RPGs who hasn't tried this should do so poste haste.

    Possibly the best looking game of all time, mixed with not quite there combat but a great multiplayer.

    The breasts get in the way. Dragon’s Crown’s 30GG bosoms have made any discussion of the game impossible without first acknowledging that, yes, those things are preposterous. While art director George Kamitani’s assertion that he exaggerates male characters’ masculine characteristics to the same extent holds water, the saucy fairy and spread-legged female monk don’t help combat the suggestion that Dragon’s Crown is wantonly objectifying women.

    Dragon’s Crown’s unique beauty goes a long way. But it doesn’t go quite long enough.

    The artwork is phenomenal, and with the Vita screen it's just mesmerizing. I've got my first character started and already have my eyes on my character for my second playthrough.

    The loot system is really good... driving but not cheesy or used as a constant crutch against the player. I don't like games that make the grind tedious.

    Wow... this game is awesome.    … Full Review »

I was excited to try it out after seeing the reviews, but once I started playing, i realized this was all about grinding. You're encouraged to keep going back to the same stages you've played through multiple times to level up enough to continue. And the fighting itself is doesn't work - because the screen has so many people/enemies at any one time, you just find yourself spamming buttons. Looks good but plays very blandly.… Full Review »
