News: Vanillaware’s newest game will keep you busy for over 100 hours on both PS3 and PS Vita.

Dragon’s Crown is now available in stores and on PSN for those who want the digital version. Dragon’s Crown is a 2-D side-scrolling multiplayer beat ‘em up wrapped in the beautiful storybook aesthetic that Vanillaware has come to be known for.

While supplies last, purchases of Dragon’s Crown will include the Dragon’s Crown Artworks from participating stores. Please note this is for the physical version only. This 64 page collector’s item features full color production art from Vanillaware as well as guest art from notable artists Bengus, Gouda Cheese and Kinu Nishimura.

Additional Dragon’s Crown DLC will be free for the first month. The DLC comes in the form of a voice pack that replaces the narrator’s voice with any of the six playable character classes. The voice pack is a $1.99 value and will revert back to that price a month after the launch of Dragon’s Crown.

This game also features an immersive skills system to customize individual play styles, a quest system that unlocks pieces of in-game art, and an expansive loot system that increases rewards with difficulty. Dragon’s Crown is cross-save compatible and can be played with any combination of local/ad-hoc, online and AI players. If you want to do everything in the game and go for the platinum then it is going to take you well over 100 hours to do so.

Dragon’s Crown is available on the PS3 for $49.99 and on the PS Vita for $39.99. Unfortunately this is not a cross buy game so if you want it on both platforms you are going to have to buy both versions. Be sure to check out our Dragon’s Crown review and tell us what you think.
