Picked this up on Vita, playing the drunk dwarf guy. This game is really good and I love the combat. It is also an amazing game to see in motion, everything moves so... weirdly beautiful and the game has a ton of attention to detail. The map screen is beautiful, and all the cool art looking stuff like the angels flying down to revive bones or the sun lighting up a level are just fantastic. God, what I wouldn't give for a Steam version of this game.

Just picked up this game and holy balls is it fun. I was on the fence because beat-em-ups don't do it for me much these days but this takes the genre to a new level.

My friend and I have been really craving a good local co-op game for so long, but I only have one PS3 controller. Does the game use the triggers for pressure sensitivity at all, or the second analog stick? I'm really hoping that I could use my fight stick instead of having to buy another dual-shock. I have a couple of logitech controllers and the PC xbox-style controller too, but I don't know how well those work for the PS3.

Also, are there any quirks about local co-op? I remember when we tried Borderland, the menu sizes didn't shrink for splitscreen co-op so that you could barely read anything, and it made the game pretty unplayable. I just want a game where local co-op is fun and not something the developers seemed annoyed to include, you know?

Since nobody else will tell you, yes you need to use the second analog stick, for finding treasure as well as for using runes which are all pretty important. I'd say suck it up and get a second controller, back when I worked at a pawnshop we used to sell them for $25 and that was 3 years ago. Take a look around at non-Gamestop used places and you should be able to find one for a decent price.

(The thread icon needs to be changed to Treasure damnit!)

Theres $12 knockoff controllers on Amazon. I have two, the right stick has a larger dead zone and is less accurate in general, but they're wireless and rechargeable controllers shaped exactly like the actual thing for $12 so hell why not.

On the other hand, if you're only doing co-op you can get by perfectly fine by having whoever uses the dual shock handle rune and treasure duties. The only serious problem with a fight stick is that you'd lose the ability to use items from your inventory since that takes whichever of dpad/left stick you're not using for movement. I don't think any of the classes would perform especially well without inventory use. Maybe fighter or dwarf, I guess? So, yeah, you'll be happier with another dual shock.

Hit it until it's not a problem anymore
For people having trouble with the Red Dragon: Jumping/dodging on the left side of the screen dodges pretty much everything, including the breath attacks. Then it just becomes DPS race.

Also, for the ancient, I highly recommend picking up the crossbow and dropping it on top of one of the barriers. The skeleton's are pretty useless without it, and another one won't spawn as long as one is on screen.

Any good tips or strats for the Ancient? I'm a 30 Amazon. I feel like I do solid damage but his attacks just destroy.

Are my air-upward-then-downward attacks less damaging than my 4 hit combos + brandish?

I have L2 WarPaint, at least an L3 in the 4 hit combo, and at least an L2 if not L3 in Brandish.

I'm having immense fun with the Vita version. While I normally don't play beat-'em-ups, Dragon's Crown is a beautiful exception. I'm not that good at action games, but the difficulty curve was pretty easy to adjust to.

Haven't tried out other characters yet because I like playing Dwarf. Add bluenoteswing so we can smash things and eat snakes at the campfire!

Everything is less damaging than Brandish, you don't need to jump to hit him, just go nuts when he isn't flying after chugging a draught and using WP. And if that somehow doesn't work either, you need more levels/a better weapon.

Much like the game likes to say, the A route is actually tougher (at least imo). B route is shorter and has an awesome boss.

Hit the sparks that hang in the air before they appear. You can prevent the tornados from ever coming out.

It's <-<- to start dashing in a direction, then circle. She'll dash in the direction you point and fire an arrow in the other.

Elves can also dash by holding down circle instead of square. When you let it go you'll do the dash arrow attack instead of kicking.

Once you beat normal with a specific character there is an item you can buy in the runestore that changes the narrators voice to that character. It costs a few hundred thousand gold but it's probably just an in game method for the narration DLC.

Yeah, the AI isn't really big on things like "evading obvious attacks" or "surviving". A single AI partner is really good for clearing out trash mobs and helping with the less active bosses like Kraken, but you should just let them die against murderous bosses like Gazer and Red Dragon because even if you chain-revive them they're just going to die again instantly.
