I saw that they have this playable at EVO this weekend. For any of the folks there, how's the magic users? Hopefully you don't have to weed through the sub menus and hopefully the whole game doesn't stop every single time somebody casts a spell.

I don't even know how that chick magic user can stand upright, let alone cast spells.

I'll be picking this up eventually, and when I do it's 99% likely that it'll be the Vita version. This seems like the kind of game I'd be more willing to play while on the go. Hard to will myself to play Guardian Heroes HD or Phantom Breaker BG when I have a ton of other console games vying for my attention.

Ditto. I've been moving towards looking at more portable titles lately. I don't have much time to even sit down to a console game and even then, I have to be in the mood to do so.

What's the deal with the cooking mini-game? Is that how you make potions to boost stats? Temporarily or Permanently? Maybe for one stage?

I take it this will be your first Kamitani game, but typically theres a cooking system in his games. Odin Sphere (I dont think it's possible to beat Odin Sphere without the cooking system) and Princess Crown were more reliant on it than Muramasa: The Demon Blade.. but judging by past games, I'm assuming it will be for health potions, stat boosts, etc..

Is this game about making the perfect souffle?

I just casually beat Muramasa on Vita, and I actually didnt cook anything or forge any new swords during the entire game...so they are probably not integral functions in Dragon's Crown either...

But perhaps they lead to different endings, so worth exploring (pretty sure that you can get different endings depending on blades used in Muramasa). I'll be playing through Muramasa again and will certainly give both cooking and forging a shot then.

To actually beat muramasa requires unlock all bosses in the game you have to unlock all the swords. You can definitely beat a characters story without doing so. Cooking definitely speeds up the process, but it still isn't necessary for survival.

I've only briefly played Odin Sphere. I remember getting ingredients but not much more than that.

Odin Sphere was such a pain in the butt, because if I remember correctly... the only way to get health pots was to cook 'em yourself. It also didn't help that my ps2 "virtual" memory on my card kept getting corrupted.
I actually relied on it for leveling in muramasa: the demon blade too, but the cooking systems are my least favorite part of kamitani games which is why I hope it plays a very minor role in dragon's crown - which is should seeing as it's a co-op game that would be slowed down by each person cooking.

still... even after finding out that there is some sort of cooking system in the game, it's still my most anticipated game of this year behind dodonpachi saidaioujou (already released).

I'm hoping this game will be arcade stick/cabinet friendly.

Sick.

Love that they're incorporating elements from hack 'n loot games. Looking forward to unlocking that dungeon.

My Dwarf is ready.
