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.
