Review: Dragon’s Crown

Dragons Crown CoverMultiplayer usually plays second fiddle to character progression and storyline in RPGs. Games like Castle Crashers and Dungeon Defenders are the exception to the rule, offering a solid RPG experience while giving players mountains of replayability with friends. These multiplayer romps are few and far between, and the ones worth your time even less so. Put together the addictiveness of a good co-op RPG with breathtaking visuals and a deep leveling and combat system and you have the trimmings for the next great action RPG.

For starters, many popular characters from each company’s most known series’ make appearances in the game. Capcom is represented by the likes of Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter, Arthur from Ghosts ‘n Goblins, and Dante from the Devil May Cry series, just to name a few. Tekken’s Jin and Xenosaga’s KOS-MOS are among the representatives from Namco Bandai’s flock, and Ulala from Space Channel 5 and Zephyr and Leanne from Resonance of Fate make appearances for Sega.

Sunday Roundup: 7/14/13

New Games (7-14-13)Two new stores to find retro games! One store was brand new as of this week, and really isn’t a store. It’s more of just some guy that tacked on his game collection to an existing hobby game store. Nonetheless, there were a few titles there that caught my eye. The second store was a used music/movies/games store that I saw from the highway and decided to stop in and look around. Surprisingly there were games aplenty at this place, including a Dreamcast game of all things! Well, let’s get this thing underway!
