What did you think of Dragons Crown?
Is it still worth playing today?

If you have 3 friends for offline coop

It's fun and a worth it experience. It's weird in that the rpg and beat em up elements don't really mesh together that well from with-friends standpoint. It's more fun of course to have other people to go through stages with you, but then when you get back to town everyone needs to do their skill and equipment stuff one at a time which kills the pace of the game. Get one friend who won't dip until the end to play with you for optimal fun or play alone.

But isn't it more challenging played alone?

Play D&D Shadow over Mystara instead.

If that's what you want, pretty much. You can hire bots in game if that seems intimidating.

>But isn't it more challenging played alone?
Not really. If your friends are idiots they will only make the game harder for you.

Also the screen becomes a clusterfuck with 4 players an you lose control of the situation very quickly.

Still fun though

if you've got someone to play it with, playing it solo isn't nearly as fun and the bots just inflate enemies' health

I played it last year solo for the first time. It definitely still holds up.

Its actually more challenging with bots. The game scales with the number of players, and the AI definitely doesn't pull its weight.
The game also becomes really chaotic with more than a couple of characters, especially if you have multiple magic users.

Are you sure?
I was planning on soloing the game, but than I had to recruit bots for one stage because I couldn't keep the girls from getting killed by the vampires alone, and the bots wiped them out in one minute.

They're pretty garbage, maybe you lucked out for the vampires but usually the bots just go through a meat grinder against the bigger bosses
Unless there was some AI update I'm unaware of I can still remember trying to use bots to help with the dragon and the kraken and feeling like I'd rather be solo

I think the Vampires are a special case since you have to hit them fast while protecting 4 other characters. They might come out with a lot more HP but at least it's easier to protect them.

>What did you think of Dragons Crown?
Came for sorceress tits, stayed for Elf thighs.

>Is it still worth playing today?
Yes. It is probably the best classic dungeon crawler you're going to find this side of Diablo II.

Learn how to play Elf and you can solo anything in the game.

>tfw you play online with others
>everyone dies but you keep carrying the team
>you cook all the food during breaks

It's pretty fun, a blast with friends, and online with randoms is pretty painless and fun too.
I hope they do a PS4 re-release of it. My PS3 broke and it'd be nice to play it 4 player couch co-op without having framedrops.

Are you kidding? Four player coop is a clusterfuck of a mess of what's going on screen. Especially if you have magic users.

They should also port Muramasa to a real console.

Can I play it on ps4?

No.

It needs a PS4 port. It's an awesome game but PS3 scene is pretty much dead at this point. I wish they'll port it to PS4 at some point along with Muramasa Rebirth.

This. I bought Muramasa at launch on the Wii and I would easily pay $60 for a 1080p port to another console. Or PC, but that's not realistic. But as much as Muramasa is one of my all time favorite games, I'm not buying a Vita just for that one game.

Is Grimgrimoire any good?

Same. I loved it on wii, and I'd love to play it, and the expansion, on a proper console.

The combat is unique and it has the typical Vanillaware attention to detail/good story. But the cutscenes drag on. I'd say its more of a story game with a few fights in between (not unlike Final Fantasy Tactics).

I'm actually gonna spend around 60$ on Vita TV just for Muramasa.

That and Muramasa both need PC ports.

>Really want to play Muramasa
>Can't find another 5 weeb games in the Vita's extensive Weeb catalogue to justify the purchase

fuck is wrong with you

Vita has literally no games.

Elf was probably the most fun class until they nerfed her arrow drop rate to shit.

Still patiently waiting for emulation.

What ever nerd.

>mfw people complain about the jumping in the Wii version of Muramasa
>I played the entire game without using sword techs
>I realized why they had jumping and movement tied together, because it made juggling so much more precise
>game is too easy for me now because I figured this out so I still don't use sword techs

tfw filthy lucre
