PS3 Dragon's Crown

( Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )

The 2D version of Diablo
So far, it is the PS3 exclusive.  This is a tradition story between warriors with dragon.  It is so impressed to knew that 2D action game return to the gaming area.  The game price was HKD 489, which is very expensive compare with others.  I think the reason of the hand-drawn of 2D grid are complicated, and this is rare 2D style game for nowadays. 

On the surface, there are 9 levels of the stage.  You can play online with others when you finished such levels.  After, every stage will open the second routes for each.  I should say there are total of 18 + 1 stages.  + 1 is meaning of the final boss when you completed 18 basic levels.  If you are familiar with the game process, each characters just spend 2.5-3 hours for complete. 

In order to lengthen the playing time, the game has set 3 cycles + 99 layer maze.  Overall, the treasures appear structure  are similar  as Diablo, which are random with ranking, such as equipment with rank A is better than rank B.  You may start to tired when arrived to cycles 2.  Meanwhile, the game music are quite boring.  I am bear the boring mood to completed 3 cycles, and my character achieved level 85.  At that time, I give up to play. 

For more trophies, you can play more time on it.  Some of mission that you may not understand the purpose, then  just type the mission name into YOUTUBE.  

6 o'clock position on the map clockwise, the goblins, Amazon warrior, Male soldier, Female magician, Male Shaman, Dwarves

I had experienced 6 characters.  I think the most fun and useful  is male shaman, the second is Amazon warrior, followed by Male soldier.  Although others have their own advantages, may not good for novice. 

As above, she is the most popular one and the control is similar as Male Shaman.  I think the reason of popular is needless to say here. 

Conclusion：

I think this is not fun as my expectation.  Overall, the gameplay is feeling of dull, even if the online play with others.  The screen always look mess and cannot distinguish the enemies between players.  You just watching so much of hit figures in font of you.  Anyway, this is praiseworthy for 2D game could able to designed as such length.  I hope that modern can be use in Double Dragon, Final Fight, Streets of Rage for help them re-back to the gaming area.  Finally, I think this game is not worth if the value over HKD 300.
