HeyPoorPlayer's Francis DiPersio writes- Dragons Crown is a love letter to the classic fantasy beat-em-ups of the late 80s and early 90s. Vanillawares newly-released slugfest is just oozing with inspiration from genre classics such as Segas legendary Golden Axe series along with Capcoms Dungeons Dragons dualogy (fun fact- Dragons Crowns art director, George Kamitani, cut his teeth on Dungeons Dragons: Tower of Doom), crafting a high-fantasy melee that offers a sublime mix of bare knuckle beat-downs and light role playing elements that blend together to create a totally unique and refreshing gameplay experience.

Falling into classic genres such as action RPG, and beat em up, it is fair to say Dragons Crown is refreshing, and even brings new elements to the table. The developer of this game Vanillaware has created a game that is more than meets the eye which is saying a lot, because Dragons Crown is aesthetically beautiful. Its depth will get any nerd drooling with the resemblance to Dungeons Dragons in terms of fortune, adventure, and danger.

Das Schwarze Auge: Abenteuer Basis-Spiel.

Heroes get all the glory, and video games nearly always feature heroes as the main protagonist. But sometimes the fate of the world isn't determined by white knights in shining armor, but in the hands of a ragtag group of criminals on a path of redemption or perhaps simply more murder. Their stories are far teresting, anyway. This is the central twist underlying the upcoming single-player, hex-based, turn-based RPG by Daedalic Entertainment called Blackguards.

Based on the universe of The Dark Eye, a German role-playing game otherwise known as Das Schwarze Auge created in 1984 which essentially trumped Dungeons & Dragons as the foremost RPG in the country, the world of Blackguards suitably goes through numerous shades of gray. The plot of intrigue and allegiances begins with the protagonist witnessing a wolf mauling Princess Elanor in a gloomy patch of forest under the cover of night. He fends off the beast, but since no one believes that such a wolf could ever exist in the kingdom, they presume him guilty of murder, throwing him into prison and torturing him for a name that doesn't exist. Eventually, a dwarf inmate named Naurim rescues him, not out of pity, but out of aid in his escape.
