For instance, with her ability to parry and gain a few moments of invincibility, create shockwaves with her axe and enhance her attack speed as she continuously attacks, the Amazon can easily tear through hordes of enemies in seconds meanwhile, the Sorceress, with her ability to teleport, unleash a blizzard that can repeatedly hit everything on the screen at once and summon a thundercloud that autonomously targets your foes, can rain down death from afar but you will need to carefully manage her MP. Between their different appearances, playstyles and skills, though you’ll be fighting the same enemies in the same locations each time, it will rarely feel like you are. You’ll have to play through the story three times with each character, but it will be a radically different experience each time. Interestingly, this weakness ends up making the strength of Dragon’s Crown Pro’s class system all the more pronounced. In an odd way, the game only begins when the story ends. Though you can circumvent this by turning off the narration and subtitles in the options menu, the only way to remove them for good is to grit your teeth and push through the story.

When not actually looking for the Dragon’s Crown you’ll be stuck in the same town with the same destinations just going back and forth through the motions until you reach your goal something made all the worse by the fact that the narrator will repeat the same lines as you enter and exit buildings or come in and out of town. To its credit, Vanillaware did a good job with the story and the game ramps up in difficulty each time you go through, but saying it’s good enough to suffer through three times is a stretch.
