Vanillaware alopra tanto na parte visual que esquece de trabalhar melhor no gameplay e no design do jogo. Esse mal acomete Dargon's Crown tanto quanto Muramasa.
É uma pena tanto charme se perder em um gameplay medíocre.

I can see why people love the game. But not for me.
While visually and aesthetically I didn't like it as much as Muramasa, the gameplay absolutely makes up for it. Worth playing again and again, even with friends!
Vanillaware is known for one of the hardest JRPGs on the PS2, Odin Sphere, and I was very excited upon hearing the spiritual successor to that game. While Dragon’s Crown isn’t nearly as hard as that game (it’s much more forgiving) it still has a lot of challenges that await you. Dragon’s Crown’s biggest disappointment is its short length. There’s almost no main quests and contains mainly side quests (about 50). Once you finish the game you unlock a hard mode and then an Inferno mode. Thankfully the game can be played with up to 4 players so it can be a blast.
The story is about a Crown that has been taken by an Ancient Dragon. Your job is to return this crown to your kingdom and kill the dragon. The story is very light and I know there could have been so much more here. But the super short length makes it impossible for a better story. There are very few cutscenes and not much-spoken dialogue (which is only done by a narrator). Once you jump into the game you can attack, use items, cast spells, and use the right analog stick to move a hand around the screen to collect treasure. You always have a non-fighting thief with you who can pick locks on hidden doors and open chests. Sadly, you can’t change out your equipment during a mission (most levels can be passed in less than 10 minutes). However, at the end of each level is a boss and they increase in difficulty throughout all 8 levels or so. Each level has two bosses at different levels for various players.
Once you finish a mission you can return to town to appraise your items, bury or resurrect bones you find in levels for new AI partners, level up, acquire new quests, and buy runes. Runes are found throughout levels in pairs which need to be matched with runes in your possession. These add various buffs to your party which can turn the tide of a battle. Outside of those main things there’s not much to do besides hit the level cap. The missions are extremely repetitive since you need to find 9 talismans before facing the Ancient Dragon (that’s almost all there is to the entire main quest line) and once you are able to beat the Ancient Dragon (probably when you’re around level 30) you do it all over again on a harder difficulty. It gets kind of boring after a while and extremely tough towards the end. It’s best to go in with actual people since your AI partners can mess things up. Thankfully, unlike Odin Sphere, you have lives and can even pay to keep reviving with your coins. This alleviates some of the frustration.
I just wish there was so much more to this game. It feels so small and claustrophobic. The short levels, the nearly non-existent quest line, and story, but at least the characters you pick are fun to use and the controls work well. The art itself is stunning with beautiful water-color backdrops and crazy looking enemies and bosses. This game is mainly designed for fans of the co-0p arcade RPGs of yesteryear from Capcom. Not much of a story, but tons of combat and enemies to kill and levels to acquire. If you want a story heavy RPG like The Elder Scrolls or Fable you won’t find that here.

A great dungeon crawler, and no it's not just because of Sorceress.
The art is neat and it's fun to hit things in. What more can you ask for?
Solid "RPG beat-'em-up," even if I'm not a huge fan of Vanillware combat-feel. The post-game co-op loop is pretty fun and the Frazetta-inspired art direction is neat. Would appreciate a modern port at any rate.
I love this game! Its a bit lengthy however, and some boss encounters are not particularly favorable. But its artstyle is great~! I hope it gets released on PC one day.
Joguinho simples beat 'n up "Não sei o que me levou a jogar isso/10"
Never did get to finish this but the gameplay was on point. Not sure why Sega won't re-release it considering they've owned Atlus for a long time.
lolicon fantasy for people who like large breasts
A lot of fun with friends and very annoying that it hasn't come to PC yet so I can't really recommend it to any of said friends.
Big fan of Beat 'em Ups with RPG elements and this one manages that while looking consistently gorgeous. I always felt it was really weird how people thought this game unfairly sexualized women when in reality it sexualized everyone. The party is literally made up of exaggerated physicalities (and an Elf) ranging from a number of body types on every side.
Never won't be glad that Vanillaware values a girl with muscles.

I'm a total sucker for a beat-em-up with Diablo-like loot system and RPG progression. The tits and asses are a bonus.
Oh god, it's just a beatemup. It's not even a very good one. Visually it looks like one of those Flash banner ad games. That's fine. What's a measly twenty dollars anyway.
Fantastic game. A wonderful DnD inspired beat um up with everything included. Breathtaking visuals, varied characters, multiple paths, 4 player co op, a high level curve, cross play and cross save, an randomized deep dungeon to explore and lots of replay value. The game is perfectly balanced between actual arcade skill and RPG leveling strength.

Grotesque character design, boring and grindy gameplay.
Even after hours of grinding for the final side quests, the game doesn't feels boring. The gameplay is just so much fun, the areas are so cool to traverse and the art is beautiful, as usual for Vanillaware.
Just please ignore the huge-booba witch.
Elf for the win.

frow the best games I've ever played
Cool combo of beat em up and rpg that went on for a tad too long. Incredible art though
No momento o jogo não me agrada em jogar ele, fica difícil ver algo no vita com a alta poluição virtual que fica na tela, seja durante as lutas, ou quando se está andando pra ir pra próxima sala, a pior parte é que se tem com 4 personagens na tela (incluindo o seu) ai mesmo que tu brinca de assistir poluição visual, mas acredito que fazendo um esforço ainda volto a jogar ele.
Mas já adianto aqui, o jogo não vale o preço que ele é vendido, seja a mídia física do psvita/ps3/ps4, ou digital no ps4 (preço cheio), infelizmente dessa vez ''pra brasileiro é mais caro!'' : ^ (

Picked the Amazoness and would just spin to win, had a blast.
The solo experience is rather drab, saved by gorgeous art and music. Combat is quite button-meshy, and the story is very basic. It is designed as a loot based ARPG with multiplayer, so I don's want to be too harsh on what effectively is just the tutorial.
Decent beat em up, solid gameplay, great dnd looks
