Battle Hardenedĭragon’s Crown Pro was released with a special edition aptly called “Battle Hardened Edition’ which includes a steel-case and seven skill cards.

With a proven track record, Vanillaware is definitely someone I will trust to remake or remaster games.
I never expected an older game to look that good on an eighth-generation console. I loved the original Odin Sphere and the Leifthrasir remake blew both my younger-self (as well as my current self) away. Not only is the artwork remade for the game, the music was re-recorded as well – with a live orchestra.īear in mind that the Vanillaware team that worked on Dragon’s Crown Pro also made the similarly impressive Odin’s Sphere Leifthrasir possible.

If they are successful in seizing control of it, every inch of ground will be covered in blood before the sun rises on the next day. It waits eagerly for discovery in one of the rooms or the hallways. They are quite diligent in their search for the legendary treasure that they are certain exists somewhere. Those who wield magic have let their hearts to be corrupted by the shadows, and they have used their spells to combine all of the abandoned buildings and underground caverns on the land into a single location. The ruins that are located beneath this metropolis are nothing more than the entryway to the immense underground labyrinth that stretches out below them. The game is a spiritual sequel to the Sega Saturn classic Princess Crown.
