What part of Dragon Crown is RPG ?

Still it looks good for side scrolling brawler ;)

Ruin doesn't look too interesting.


There is leveling to be had and stat building from what I understand. Its a side scroller RPG hybrid as in "Odin's Sphere". The character arch types are not really my favorite(would actually like them if they were more anime perportioned instead of goth medieval/anime) but they can grow on me, lol at the Amazon tho :P. 

Ruin is......well idk. Its sort of interesting but all they ever talk about is it's PS3 connectivity instead of actually how the game PLAYS!!! I want to know will there be multiple ability trees, leveling,stats, etc with challenging combat mechanics. For right now its a very far fetched maybe. Definitely not before Uncharted:GA,Gravity Daze, and SuperStardust Delta, and definitely not at full retail price(although supposedly it will possibly have a one price deal with PS3 version).

By that definition Cod, Bad Comapny 2 and Bioshock are RPGs ;)

Well thats because most games these days are incorperating RPG elements to prolong and highten the experience. So yes, almost all games these days are RPG like.


RPG-like perhaps, but not RPGs.  To be an RPG there has to be some element of role playing.  Not everything with stats and dragons is an RPG.  Dragon Age is an RPG.  The Witcher is an RPG.  Diablo is (barely) an RPG - and even that is pushing it.  Same goes for certain Final Fantasy games.

Games like Dragons Crown, Zelda, Bioshock etc. have certain elements most often attributed to RPGs, but RPGs they are not.

For the record, Dragons Crown looks good... kind of like an updated version of Magic Sword (which I loved in the arcades many years ago.)
