Flash Strife Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 So this came out today, anyone else getting it? Been waiting for this game myself since it was announced back in 2011. In case anyone doesn't know the game is a action beat-em up rpg with online co-op for up to 4 players (or you can use AI companions/PSN friends ghost AI characters) with Vanillaware's high quality 2D artwork for the PS3 and Vita. Game has 6 different characters, each with their own fighting style and skills/equipment, a deep loot system and it has a 15-20 hour long story campaign with multiple difficulty levels. If anyone is interested in going co-op, hit me up on PSN at Flash_Strife. Gonna pick this up in a bit so hope to see some OCR peeps there.

Thalzon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Isn't there cross-platform play anyway? So it really doesn't matter which system it's bought for. I got my preorder all paid off but can't make it into town until Thursday, so... yeah. Gonna play Dwarf first, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Jobson Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hmmm at first glance it seems a bit too arcade-y for my liking, but it still looks pretty cool. I was really into these classic side-scrolling action beat-em-up games as a kid, like ninja turtles or venom vs carnage. I don't own a PS Vita but have thought about it for a while now... I guess I just need to find someone who owns both so I can give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It is a very pretty game. The artwork is gorgeous. Gameplay is pretty brutal. Regular enemies are brianless and dont pose much of a threat whereas Boss monsters beat the snot out of you, if you are at least a Sorceress.

Sounds like every other beat-em-up kinda game I've played. As long as the bosses are hard and I have something to do for a good 20 hours I'm sold.

Thalzon Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 My friend and I played through like the first 6 or 7 dungeons together. I rolled Amazon, he went with Warrior, and we had a blast. Awesome, gorgeous game with some really neat elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I want this game like I want a bullet in the brain. A LOT, but I can't afford it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Strife Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just unlocked online co-op. Damn does the game get hard once you do, actually had to continue for the first time, and ended up doing it twice on the same stage. Ended up losing money in a stage for the first time as a result. AI is brain dead most of the time too. Sure would be great to get some PS3 co-op help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just unlocked online co-op. You have to unlock it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 You gotta play through the story mode a bit. It ensures you're around level 15-20 and can handle the online dungeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 We played this a bit over the Otakon weekend; 4 player madness with DJP flailing wildly was entertaining. Shariq was very patient with everyone who basically had no idea what was going on the entire time (seemingly on purpose). Overall it was pretty cool, definitely hope this style of beat-em-up stays alive, it's pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yep, it was fun 4 player BUT I will say that it helps if people play the game themselves a bit first. There was so much stuff I didn't realize playing 4 player. For some reason, there's essentially only one person 'in control' at any time. Unlike some other beat-em-up style games, where people get splitscreens when managing inventory etc,. only one person can do that at a time. So if you want to change your gear or skills, you have to cycle through all 4 people. Kind of a pain and I hope they patch that. Once you play it single player you realize there's a ton of depth.

Gollgagh Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have both versions; I'm Gollgagh on PSN (imagine that!) still working on Normal mode so I'm about level 30 with Elf at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Strife Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 You have to unlock it?! Trust me, you'll be better off playing it enough to unlock online co-op. Fights can get chaotic at times with all the stuff that goes on onscreen that you can sometimes lose track of what you're doing. Playing it a while helps to make it easier to avoid that situation.

Gollgagh Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 local multiplayer is available right off the bat, so you can also play that way if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yo Brandon Dragon's Crown is on sale $40.49 right now. Which means it will be even lower within a week or two, on a better store like Amazon Thanks for pointing this out. I ALMOST hopped on it, but then I remembered how The Last Of Us went on sale for lower pretty quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
