Video Game Review: Dragon’s Crown Pro

Dragon’s Crown Pro has been remastered to take advantage of the PS4 Pro’s 4K capabilities, and running on that system it looks richly coloured with sharp spell effects and attack animations. It’s not a quantum leap over the original, but that’s a testament to Vanillaware’s quality art design and beautiful environments than a knock on Pro’s quality. It looked good then, it looks great now.
