I can say with 100% certainty that this is Dragon’s Crown at its very best and if you didn’t get to play it five years ago, this game is something that needs to be experienced.įor new players, you will find that Dragon’s Crown Pro is an incredible arcade brawler that heavily incorporates role-playing elements into the game, along with a ton of loot and branching paths. The visuals are completely overhauled and the wonderful fantasy soundtrack has been rebuilt from the ground up. It features the storyteller DLC, as well as all the patches and upgrades that were made to the game post-launch. Dragon’s Crown Pro is still the definitive version of the game. Now, it may seem like I’m belly-aching here, but hear me out. Since I had put all this effort into Dragon’s Crown in the past, Dragon’s Crown Pro was effectively completed. Sure, my max-level Amazon was all ready to roll and just about every other character was level 20, but it had been 5 years and I barely remembered how to play the game at all. All of my save data from my original 200 hours of Dragon’s Crown was already ready to go on Dragon’s Crown Pro. Unbeknownst to me, Dragon’s Crown Pro included a really neat feature that immediately took the wind out of my sails. I was ready to hit the ground running, and when the code finally hit my email, I got the download preloaded on my PS4 and was ready to jump head-long into the good times. As soon as the code request form came in, I had it filled out and sent back to Atlus before their server had even finished sending out their initial emails. I really enjoyed the time I spent with the original and some really great works of mine came from it. When Dragon’s Crown Pro was announced, I was super excited. Then the PS4 came out and everyone moved on with their lives, forgetting about Dragon’s Crown. As a beat-em-up, Dragon’s Crown didn’t necessarily reinvent the genre in any way but did manage to check all the boxes to remind everyone why they loved arcade-style beat-em-ups to begin with. I thought it was a fantastic game with an interesting art design and completely enjoyable choose-your-own-adventure mechanics.


Way back in 2013, I reviewed the initial release of Dragon’s Crown released for the PlayStation 3 and Vita. Well, this is it ladies and gents, I’ve encountered a game that I’ve actually struggled to objectively review. Oh Dragon’s Crown, how I believed I missed you.
