    This game is monotonous. After three hours you still do exactly the same and even have to redo the same level but with the last third of it changed.

    It has admitedly beutiful surroundings but the characters design is awfull. Also, it is so hard to see what is going on most of the time because of all the enemies and friends. I didn't play it online. I will assume that if you have

    I didn't play it online. I will assume that if you have friends to play with it would be more fun but the lack of interresting story or characters, with mostly singelplayer buttonmashing, this game just doesn't hold up.

    This game was really a disappointment. 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,This game was really a disappointment.

    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.

    Dragon's Crown pays tribute to the cult of sword and sorcery. The obvious choice for all treasure, hack and slash, and the old but gold 2D beat them ups lovers. You just need to prepare for the inevitable grind, and you may set forth upon your adventure with a capital A.

    Dragon’s Crown is, without a doubt, the most ambitious, most accomplished brawler of this generation. Fans of the genre have something here that will keep them busy far into the next generation, with the game providing hundreds of hours of content for those willing to put the time in.
