Review: Dragon's Crown (Vita)

Nostalgic gamers that grew up in the 90s typically have fond memories of side-scrolling beat-em-ups. Gamers of all ages lined up on weekends to have their go at popular cabinets like The Simpsons, X-Men and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - pockets filled to the bursting point with quarters. For many, these were the 'glory days' of the gaming industry. While recent titles like WayForward's Double Dragon Neon and The Behemoth's Castle Crashers have successfully brought this gameplay back to form in recent years, Atlus' upcoming Dragon's Crown release does just this and makes the retro style of gameplay feel fresh once again.
