Those who played Dragon’s Crown on PlayStation 3 or Vita can import their save file into Pro, which will give veteran players the ability to continue the game on higher difficulties. Couch co-op continues to be an utter joy. Online play for Dragon’s Crown Pro is very smooth, without any hiccups to speak of. Furthermore, players can have up to four player co-operative play, either locally or online. Players can choose from six different characters, each with their own unique play-style. Gameplay-wise, however, there is much to get invested in. It’s just a shame that story has nothing for the player to feel invested in. It’s always amazing when a good narrator can transform a bland story into something intriguing. Although the story is bare-bones and unimpressive, the dialogue and narrator are still stellar. Atlus USA and Vanillaware decided to re-release the game as Dragon’s Crown Pro for the PlayStation 4, though if I’m being honest, it’s the same damn game from 2013, and while little is new with it, it’s still a gem.ĭragon’s Crown is the journey of Dungeon & Dragon archetypes as they roam through stages beating up baddies, capturing treasure, and defeating larger-than-life bosses, the titular goal being to acquire the “Dragon’s Crown” and ensure that the world does not fall into chaos.

It was over-the-top, utterly ridiculous, and pure entertainment. Despite those disagreements, Adriaan and I couldn’t deny that the game was fun. The game in question, Dragon’s Crown, brought up numerous conversations regarding sexual imagery and sexualization of the female heroines.

Back in 2013, I had the pleasure of co-writing a review for RPGamer with Adriaan den Ouden for a game that spun some exceptional controversy.
