Official Boxart
Dragon's Crown (ドラゴンズクラウン Doragonzu Kuraun?) is a 2D fantasy action RPG video game currently being developed by Vanillaware with assistance from Atlus. The game will be released on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita some time in 2013. Like Odin Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade, it is a spiritual successor to an Atlus game titled Princess Crown; and like Odin Sphere, takes some concepts from Norse mythology.
Plot
The game takes place in a fantasy world where vast labyrinths and catacombs lie beneath civilization. Magic-users seeking a legendary treasure known as the "Dragon's Crown" have used their sorcery to link each of the ruins together in order to search for it, which they plan to use for a sinister purpose. Players must take up the role of one of six adventurers to keep the crown out of their hands, as well as search for treasure of their own
Gameplay
Dragon's Crown is an action role-playing game structured like a traditional side-scrolling beat 'em up where players move their characters across the screen into the background or foreground attacking enemies. Each character has their own specific strengths and weaknesses such as attack power, movement speed, special attacks, and selection of magic, with the characters' growth throughout the game also being customizable by the player. During gameplay, players may come across items which can be used to aid characters, as well as equipment and weapons which can increase a character's statistics and battle strength. The title features branching paths in every level which are traveled based on the player's decisions during gameplay, such as choosing to steal an item from a boss character, running instead of engaging an enemy, or searching for secrets, which will lead to alternate areas. Quests may also be undertaken by players which hold specific objectives for each dungeon, which all come with their own rewards
