''Dragon's Crown'' is a 2D [[Action RPG]] from [[Vanillaware]], the makers of ''[[Odin Sphere]]'' and ''[[Muramasa: The Demon Blade|Muramasa the Demon Blade]]'' and published by [[Atlus]] for the [[Play Station 3]] and [[Play Station Vita]] with the distinction of being Vanillaware's first game to be developed for an HD console. Originally set to be released in Spring 2012, the game iswas setreleased for ain 2013 release (published by [[Atlus]]) due to [[Development Hell]].
 
The premise of the story is fairly straight forward: a group of heroes [[Dungeon Crawling|must venture into a labyrinth]], uncovering treasures and strengthening themselves as they look for the [[MacGuffin|Dragon's Crown]], an item that could spell doom for the world in the wrong hands.
Line 24:
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: One of the Sorceress's attacks looks like a teleportation attack that leads into this.
* [[Author Appeal]]: If previous Vanillaware titles such as ''Odin Sphere'' and ''Muramasa'' had you questioning whether or not George Kamitani has a thing for huge boobs and muscular women, the Amazon and Sorceress classes will put those questions to rest.
* [[Baby Got Back]]: Amazon; seriously, it's impossible ''not'' to notice it.
* [[Badass Long Robe]]: The Wizard.
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: The Sorceress can turn enemies into frogs.
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
* [[Boom Stick]]: Both the Wizard and Sorceress.
* [[Breakable Weapons]]
* [[Can't Drop the Hero]]: While you can recruit any number of party members by recovering bones and bringing them to the temple, and have four party members at a time, your "main", the one you start with, must always be with the party.
* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: The Amazon; think [[Red Sonja]] with a thong and bikini that's one size too small.
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: The Sorceress.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: The Dwarf.
* [[Food Porn]]: During chain-run quests where you cannot return to town between dungeons, there is a mini-game of sorts where the party makes camp and cooks all the food they collected during the dungeon, anything from carrots and pork to Red Dragon Meat and Gazer eyes. The animation is, to say the least, interesting.
* [[Gainaxing]]: The Sorceress. The trope isn't unusual in an Vanillaware title, but it has never before been ''this'' blatant.
* [[Glass Cannon]]/[[Lightning Bruiser]]/[[Mighty Glacier]]: A rather weird case with the Amazon; she has both ''speed'' and ''power'', but her attack speed is sluggish and her defense is about as low as that of a [[Fragile Speedster]].
* [[Helping Would Be Killstealing]]: Actually, ''Subverted'' with one Boss! If you're having too much trouble with the Killer Rabbit, the Highland Knights will start spawning and fight on your side. And a box of Bombs will appear that you can use. Again, both features are due to the Boss being an obvious [[Shout Out]] to ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]''.
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: The Fighter.
* [[Hot Witch|Hot Sorceress]]: Guess who.
* [[Impossibly Low Neckline]]: The Sorceress's ''real'' magic is how she gets her chest to stay in that dress.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Literal example, the Path B boss of the Lost Woods, an obvious reference to the [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Lady of Black Magic]]: The Sorceress, though different from the usual examples in that she's more of a support class.
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: The Fighter.
Line 46 ⟶ 51:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Oh come on, it's the same guys who gave us ''[[Odin Sphere]]'' and ''[[Muramasa: The Demon Blade]].'' This is basically a given.
* [[She's Got Legs]]: The Amazon and the Sorceress.
* [[Side CleavageSideboob]]: The Sorceress, of course.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''[[Dungeons and Dragons Shadow Over Mystara|Dungeons & Dragons: Tower Of Doom]]''.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: The Sorceress in more ways than one.
Line 56 ⟶ 61:
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: The Dwarf.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: The Wizard.
* [[World of Buxom]]: Very hard to find even a female background character who isn't a busty, buxom Fanservice Girl.
