Given the approach the developers have taken, its not the end of the world and when the screen gets busy with jumping, slashing and spell casting, it’s hardly noticeable. As they move around the backdrops you can appreciate the animation detail as hair moves and flesh jiggles, but once the action starts they loose a little fluidity and start doing the old 2d fighter hop step lurching between actions. Females are feisty and exaggerated, males are stoic and heroic. The playable characters are a usual mixed bag of dungeon crawling stereotypes, but taken to the extreme. They might be 2d images that your characters slide across, but the wealth of attention they have had lavished on them makes them a joy to view.
The art style is exactly that – a style, it comes alive on the Vita with the rich tapestry of backgrounds showing such depth of colour and attention to detail.
We often judge a book by its cover and Dragon’s Crown has a vibrant, busty cover that will surely attract attention of gamers, but once you get past the boobs you start to realise there is a deep and satisfying quest in here. There may be some complaints about the art style being a little controversial, but that didn’t bother me as much as what I was expecting from the gameplay. Aside from the titular quest (see what I did there), Dragon’s Crown offers plenty of depth and subtlety once you peel back the 2d surface.Ī little while ago I saw the promos for Dragons Crown and didn’t care much for it.
