They’re both viable choices, and necessary, too – even if it does get a bit messy when everyone is somersaulting all over the screen and splashing big, bright magical attacks left, right, and centre. Eventually, you’ll be able to take four heroes out at a time, controlled either by other players or the AI. As you progress you’ll come across mouldy old bones that you can resurrect at the temple in town to add a revived ally to your rank. You initially have just one adventurer, picked from six classes: Fighter, Sorceress, Elf archer, Dwarf beserker, Amazon, and Wizard. There are a handful of reused locations to ransack for weapons, trinkets, and treasure, but you’ll need to deal with orcs, goblins, giant scorpions, harpies and fish-men, among other things, along the way.Ĭombat is at the heart of Dragon’s Crown, as you strike out from the central hub town into the wilds of Hydeland to deliver side-scrolling retribution to the hordes of evil. The story revolves around the titular Crown, an ancient artefact that your squad of die-hard adventurers has been hired to misappropriate. That said, it is an enjoyable hack ‘n’ slash action game with enough RPG-lite elements to keep it interesting. The addition of some DLC or extra content might have been more of a hook, but as it stands this is just the same game you’ve been playing for five years but with new music and a 4K sheen.
Sure, the visuals are a little brighter and it’s now 4K-ready, but aside from an improved musical score, there’s really nothing to justify why the PS3 version of this wasn’t just made backwards compatible.įans of Dragon’s Crown who didn’t play it to death on the last generation or aren’t still playing it on the PS Vita (remember those?) might be tempted, but many will be put off by the hefty price tag. In the case of Dragon’s Crown Pro, that hasn’t really happened. A child can go through the whole of primary school nations can rise and be toppled the DCEU can release five terrible films, video game publishers can sift through their back catalogue and realise how many games they’ve released that have passed that magical age wherein a re-hash is at least justifiable.Ĭall me cynical if you will, but I’m of the opinion that if you’re going to re-release a game, especially after five years, you should really consider adding something to it to make it worthwhile.
