Dragon's Crown/Pro

Here's a quickie....

Not a fan of playing with 'others' even if they're human or forced AI.

Can Dragon's Crown be played just me on my own with 1 character going through the stages?
All the reviews I read spend so much time banging on about co-op and multiplayer they don't really say what the single player game is like.

It can but it gets pretty dull with just one person (I say that as someone who plays SP 90% of the time).

Hmmm..... what makes this duller than other single player games?

It's basically an RPG-lite version of Golden Axe. There are multiple characters with some differences in how they play but the vast bulk of the game is just a side-scrolling beat/hack-em-up. The enemies are all pretty interchangeable and the story was so bad I can't even remember it.

I'd suggest watching a few videos on YouTube, if you like what you see then go for it. Personally I found it got very repetitive within a few hours playing solo. I'd imagine playing co-op would liven it up a lot just for the banter.

Ok, gotcha !!
I'll ponder it more before jumping in

I played it on the Vita for about 15 hours or so singleplayer and enjoyed it.
I'm never fussed about multiplayer, but I can see how it would make this game better.

Give it a go I say.
