DHGF: So lets see. The game is buggy as hell, crashes and stalls regularly, requires a constant internet connection to work, has extremely slow connections to the server, wont actually let you add friends, send or accept party requests, is the most blatant nickel and diming freemium game Ive had to sit through and has absolutely nothing to do with Dungeons Dragons save paying to have the license in the name. Mobage should be ashamed of itself for making this piece of crap, and Hasbro doubly so for continually giving Mobage its licenses to make truly terrible games with. What happened to the glory years of Baldurs Gate, the SSI RPGs, Neverwinter Nights and the like? Im sorry, but Dungeons Dragons: Arena of War is Heroes of the Lance terrible. Get your act together Hasbro and give the license to a company that will do it justice.

If you're still waiting on Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, stop reading now. This is not the DD game that you’re looking for. Conversely, if you've been waiting for a casual-friendly, free to play Dungeons Dragons title, then Arena of War might be up your alley. About as far from the traditional DD experience as you can get, Arena of War is a low-investment battler that pits your cha...

The Wii U's lineup isn't exactly rich with classic arcade games. Capcom has decided to help fill the gap by releasing this twin pack of arcade brawlers that, until now, haven't really seen any attention in the console space. Prior to this release they were only available at home via a 1999 Japan-only Sega Saturn release.

From tending cows to slaying monsters, it's all in a day's work. I've quickly grown a fondness for the way Japanese developers smartly use time as a mechanic to bond players with their characters and those in the game. I've plumbed TV worlds, I've led campaigns against the forces of darkness, I've hunted monsters, and now I've tended bovine. Rune Factory 4 is a special blend of Harvest Moon and active-battle dungeon crawling, but players may need to brace themselves for more exposition than they want. Fans and series novices will have to learn all the basics and start from scratch with an amnesiac Prince or Princess as their avatar. There's a ton of dialogue and a long road to anything resembling a conclusion, but a commute or plane trip will fade away as the gameplay hours tally up. Rune Factory 4 will soak up more time than it actually takes to run a farm and slaughter monsters, but the franchise seems determined to remain insular and averse to risk. This sounds really weird considering Rune Factory's history. It was born of a desperate need to radically evolve Harvest Moon, but after five different games across PlayStation and Nintendo platforms, this one seems a little stubborn. Players can tend to animals, crops, and fight through the story, but more often than not the game will follow in lockstep instructing them through the motions. I'd forgive anyone who can't stay entertained by the plot, which only exacerbates the time for a sweet grind. Where other games do a better job layering plot with an excessive tutorial section, Rune Factory 4 just lays it on thick. The light voice-acting and cheery music keep things on the humorous side, but any given character might annoy the bejeezus out of players. Earning points to unlock festivals and expansions, upgrading abilities, and upgrading the town are all still motivating, but it'll take a while before players see a lot of variety in any one area. Allowing dedicated, knowledgeable players a larger variety of unlocks would work better and keep tutorial hours teresting. Again, if the plot wears thin early, the writing will quickly wear on your nerves and hours will feel like days. As someone more a visitor than a Princely Mayor to the Rune Factory franchise, it felt like I had fallen out of the joke. Eventually more of the town opens and the social elements help you form a stronger bond with your character. Some characters speak with each other, while others will require you to complete side objectives, both without too much repetition. Certainly, Rune Factory 4 is the distracted Japanophile to Animal Crossing's more abstract and by-the-numbers life simulation. Dungeons don't really help, as they feel like a complete sideshow to the steady growth of your town, but that also means they're only as fun as mashing buttons can be. Boss battles might feel like they take too long as enemies transform and feature lots of health, but it does end up feeling like conquering a mountain. The franchise's matchmaking elements return and let players get down to business with all kinds of folk. Before anyone asks if the player can take someone to the barn house, Rune Factory 4 is rated E10+ which means players of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy the game so long as they like animeĂł-styled art and big talking dragons. For the next game in the series, I hope Rune Factory can strive to radically reinvent itself, because this entry's biggest weakness is that it can feel too refined and set in its ways. In keeping the door open for newcomers, it loses sight of breaking new ground. Code provided by publisher. Exclusive to 3DS.

EG:Dragon's Crown is a brawler as archaic as the fantasies it draws upon. Designer George Kamitani made his name with Capcom's Dungeons Dragons arcade series of the early 90s - games that took on the lineage of Final Fight and furnished it with deep-pocketed inventories and experience points. That lineage was rudely cut short not long after, but Kamitani's Vanillaware studio has worked in the face of the genre's decline ever since, first with Odin Sphere and later Muramasa. They're games as artfully drawn as they are mechanically banal, though, and Dragon's Crown carries on that limp tradition.
