Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Dragon’s Crown was a long-awaited project conceived by George Kamitani, whose earlier works include Odin Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade. The game’s painterly visuals and expressive character designs made it an instant standout in the PS3’s later years, proving that 2D artistry could rival the spectacle of modern 3D titles. Its lush aesthetic and cooperative design inspired a new wave of appreciation for hand-crafted visuals in gaming.
Despite initial controversy over its stylized art, Dragon’s Crown went on to become one of Atlus’s top-selling Vanillaware collaborations and remains highly sought after by collectors.
