3) Unique Storybook Adventure
Reasons Not to Let Dragon’s Crown Pro Pass You By
If you’re into Western high fantasy stories, Dragon’s Crown Pro has plenty to offer, weaving a richly-detailed yarn that takes place in the Kingdom of Hydeland. It’s the same universe, incidentally, as the other Vanillaware titles GrimGrimoire and Odin Sphere, though it’s all taking place at a different time and in a different location than those games. A cast of various characters are tasked with retrieving a legendary relic known as the Dragon’s Crown, and you jump into the shoes of one of six different adventurers to steal it away from those who would use it for nefarious purposes.
In an age where dismal sci-fi landscapes and unimaginative dirt-encrusted visions of war prevail, an injection of fantasy narrative (with an extensive color palette) is a sight for sore eyes, and that’s exactly what you get with Dragon’s Crown Pro in terms of narrative and visuals. It’s just like playing through an interactive storybook, whether you’re exploring alone or with friends, and there’s nothing else that looks or feels quite like it out there right now.
