The comparisons to Golden Axe are very apt, but thankfully there are lots of upgrades for each character to add variety to the gameplay.

Those classics also made me feel empowered, as if my character really was a legendary hero in their universe

Eyegasm to look at, wonderful music and fantastic characters

The art is great and the characters are fun to play

Your character is easily lost amidst the numerous on screen enemies and simultaneous attack sequences, which often makes for difficult playing

So far my favorite character is the Amazon

I love the narrator but it turns out that each character has their own narration of the game as well, which gave an extra bit of flavor to the subsequent playthroughs

New skills/abilities/passive traits open up at an excellent pace as you level up, so you always feel like your character is getting new, fresh moves to play with

There are plenty of likable characters that you'll encounter several times, and the story's events have a genuine feeling of impact and importance to them

It can become very easy to lose your character in the shuffle

You can have 4 characters fighting 10 monsters and all throwing out their own attacks, but the framerate never drops

Beautiful art design, unique characters, and a great loot system

I like the style and story but didn't like the 2D characters.

Great game with great characters

Amazingly well drawn characters/enemies and backgrounds

Lots of great drawings that show off the colorful characters in the game.

Although I enjoyed the different characters against which you're pitted, I did not like the infamous throwback to the `90s arcade games when boss fights were ridiculously difficult, forcing you to put quarters upon quarters into the machine

However, the game's spell casters can't take a direct hit as well as melee characters, so those controlling these magical artilleries must remain wary of enemy attacks

Some people want to knock the female characters in this game, but look at the male characters

While it is fun for a while, you do have to repeat sections a second time to finish the game, albeit with stronger characters and more powerful enemies.

The art in this game is beautiful with one exception: all female characters look like some pervert's wet dream

Amazingly well drawn characters/enemies and backgrounds

The characters available are all visually, and mechanically, distinct

The characters are equally superb visually, both in design and animation quality

There's plenty of replay if you can max out your character to level 255 and have mastered the arena.

My character, along with 3 allies, and the various enemies is far too many characters on the screen at one time

good lord they are EYE CANDY) and trying not to feel awkward looking at the over-the-top character designs

Dragon's Crown brings back the nostalgia of an old-school dungeon crawler, but allows for character development like contemporary RPGs

The story is decent, the characters are memorable, and the gameplay is fun

The characters have different play styles and while I personally cannot stand the charge up for the mage, many will probably enjoy the challenge it presents

Treasure collected in dungeons takes on the form of new weapons and armor that can improve a character's stats and even change how they attack

Artistic license in this case was used to great effect to enhance the feeling of the game; most often highlighting the ridiculous characters during fights that flash across the screen on a regular basis

Control is a bit stiff, you can't walk diagonally,which is a pain ughhhh, you won't feel your character move heavily in older game (similar game like old era bareknuckle, golden axe, turtle) each dungeon feels like a chore and claustrophobic

I gave it 2 stars because of some of the art, honestly, much, much of it and the animation aren't actually that great, some nice Japanese/American fantasy hybrid characters but not enough to impress.

I like that it introduces the other characters slowly, instead of throwing everyone at you at once

Combat can be fun, but extremely frustrating/frenetic (too much happening on-screen at one time) so characters often get 'lost in the fray' so you don't know where you are or what you're swinging at

the co op experience is less than ideal b/c you cannot use the character you created for your campaign in someone else's quest
