Which is indeed how the art was presented in those old Dungeons & Dragons manuals of the 80s, but in the decades since the producers of Dungeons & Dragons has significantly modernised its approach to art, and you could make the argument that Dragon’s Crown could have done the same. The result was remarkably authentic, but also not without controversy, as that self-same art drew a significant amount of criticism from some quarters for being rather exploitative towards women. While the game obviously eschewed the dice rolling and turn based combat of the Dungeons & Dragons pen-and-paper game, it nonetheless adopted the tone of a Dungeon Master describing scenes to you (the players) when outlining quests, just like in the pen-and-paper game, and the game made excellent use of art that could have been pulled directly from an 80’s era Dungeons & Dragons game manual. So here goes my review of Dragon’s Crown Pro, and something of a correction to my original review of the game.įirst released back in 2013 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Dragon’s Crown managed to catch a great deal of attention for its commitment to the Dungeons & Dragons aesthetic of old. Clearly, I’ve enjoyed it a whole lot more than I thought based on my first play through (and review). I’m glad I’ve had the chance to go back to it and review it again, because this is a game that I’ve played irregularly ever since.

Back when I reviewed it on the PlayStation 3, I called it a “bit of multiplayer fun,” but not much more. In fact, I’ve ended up enjoying it a whole lot more than I thought I would.

I don’t generally like brawlers, but I do like Dragon’s Crown.
