You must walk from left to right, defeat all of the enemies within a set location and then proceed to walk further to the right in order to encounter the next batch of enemies. The gameplay of Dragon’s Crown Pro reminds me a lot of early 90’s action-arcade games such as Golden Axe and Streets of Rage. Riding these fire-breathing creatures reminds me of Golden Axe. This involves taking on much stronger enemies and going down alternative perilous paths as you enter the familiar dungeons.

Once you have settled in and you are finding it a breeze moving from labyrinth to labyrinth, you are tasked with the quest to seek out and return the Dragon’s Crown. But alas, things don’t forever stay in your favour. As such, you eventually gain access to various new locations within the walls of the Kingdom and even get the chance to introduce yourself to the current royalty which is in place. Your first point of call within this new realm was to join the guild and accustom yourself to the local merchants and wares. Labyrinths which were infamous for their danger and difficulty – you were lucky to even get your rotten remains out of there, nevermind exit alive! The game is set in the fictional Kingdom of Hydeland, our protagonist (which you can select from a range of six classes) has come to this Kingdom in order to begin their life as an adventurer and challenge all of the dangerous labyrinths nearby. This could be a big deal for some people, especially those who have already platinumed the game.Īs previously mentioned, Dragon’s Crown Pro is identical in story and content to the previous iterations (it has to be to support cross-play) so you may already know about the game, for those who don’t I’ll briefly explain the story. One other thing to be aware of, as with the majority of cross-play games, all version of the game (PS3, PS Vita, and PS4) share the same trophy list – so there is no new list to work though. But other than the presentation and the native 4k, are there any other changes? Dragon’s Crown Pro has followed this tradition and also allows owners of the PS3 or PS Vita version to jump in and play co-op with the PS4 version – which is pretty awesome. Originally released on PS3 and PS Vita back in 2013, the game offered cross-play and cross-save features where you could boot up your game on the PS3, play with your friends on either their PS3 or PS Vita and then transfer the save to your PS Vita and carry on playing on the go. Dragon’s Crown, from Vanillaware, was such an amazing game with beautiful, yet oddly proportioned, artwork and an epic adventure which felt like you were playing a dark, seedy anime at times.
