I'm really happy to hear it's a success because it's an extremely fun game and the developer/publisher are supporting it a lot!

Woah, this looks like a lot of fun bro. I don't care for side-scrolling style games anymore, I had those my whole childhood. This though, rpg, I'm a sucker for rpg games. I could see myself playing this, though a year ago I wouldn't even care to go to the website like I just did hhaaa. If it's on psn, I'm going on it now to see!

This is certainly interesting. I expected a game like Dragon's Crown to appeal to more of a western indie gamer audience. Then again, none of the other games on that list seem to be big name blockbuster games either so I guess it's not that unusual.

It's really fun, it's like... a masterful blend of classic beat-'em-ups with RPGs (skills, levels, randomized loot with possibly insane properties, all the good stuff).

I think Dragon's Crown is the kind of game which appeals more to people who enjoy classic games (beat-'em-ups, especially) than anything. The kind of game that has some sort of universal appeal...
