This game is wonderful. Vanillaware thread.

>>387062196
Better or worse than Dragon's Crown and Muramasa?

>>387062251
I think it's worse than Dragon's Crown (or less better I should say), but I think it's better than Muramasa. Dragon's Crown is their current masterpiece, I think.

>>387062251
Odin sphere is better on a story standpoint. Whether you prefer the gameplay is really up to you, since they share many aspects.

Dragons Crown re-release when?

>>387062196
Why the fuck aren't Vanillaware games on PC yet?

They're awesome.

>>387062251
Original is worse or in par with dragons crown, depends of the character you choose on DC

Remake is on par with muramasa

>>387062251
Better than DC if you don't care for multiplayer.

Muramasa still their best game. 13 Sentinels when?

>>387063883
Blame Sega or Atlus or whoever
Vanillaware said they were considering it but that was some time ago

Just got Vita TV todat for 35$ just to play Muramasa Rebirth.

>>387063828
Weren't they actually planning on that for the PS4?

>>387063967
Oh shit, I didn't think about that. I have a vita TV, but I only have the Wii version of Muramasa. What's new in the Vita version?

>>387064165
Dedicated jump button, 4 short DLC stories with new characters and new supposedly better translation.

Dropped. Arcade stick or bust.

>>387064165
The DLCs are vita exclusive.
They're about four different characters, three bosses each, and the first boss is their tutorial each time so they really only have two chapters.
But the good news is, they all play radically differently from the two original characters. It's also harder because they're far less balanced all-rounders and more gimmicky. Okoi only has two forms outside of a super she has to charge with souls, and her cat form spends soulfire for every attack. Arashimaru lost all his i-frame when rajyaki played a prank on him and now he's stuck with one melee weapons and two weapons that spend soulfire with every attack, ect.

>>387062196
Gwendolyn's english voice gives me a headache, everyone else is fine though.

Ah, and the translation is not as bad as the wii version.

One more month 'till we finally see how the fuck it actually plays.

I wish the original game wasn't the worst game I've ever purchased. It seems like it'd be really fun and I wanted to try the remake but I don't want to give more money to the company that bamboozled everyone.

>>387064565

I thought Dragon's Crown was great but thought that Muramasa was boring. Is Odinsphere more like the former or the latter in terms of gameplay? Seems like most anons think DC is the best of the bunch

>>387062251
Muramasa>=Odin>Dragon's crown

>>387063959
>Vanillaware said they were considering it but that was some time ago
>one website ever in existence reports this "story"
>hurrr durr why aren't they on PC

>>387064882
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is basically 2D single-player Dragon's Crown with a much deeper and complex story. It focuses more on combos and juggling, but it's easy to get into a rhythm of things. Can't really talk too much about Muramasa though.

>>387064882
Odin Sphere is pretty good, but DC is just flat out better. It got a bit repetitive though, not gonna lie. I had to put it down for a bit before I managed to beat it.

>>387062251
It's the best one if we're talking about the remake

>>387062196
Eeeeeh... The original version was shit and Leifthrasir barely does anything to address the repetitive nature of the game.

Nobody should have to go through the same levels and fight the same fucking bosses 6 times over in a single story-driven campaign.

>games are 2D

Their programmers are technologically impaired. Coincidentally I read a couple days ago of a bug in their engine preventing their games from booting in RPCS3 if it runs too fast because it desyncs. Fucking amazing.

>>387062251
Leiftraser?
It's their best game, easily.
A masterpiece.

The only problem is that at this point in time, all the retail stores around me already got rid of all their stock and aren't selling them anymore so I'm shit outta luck when it comes to finding a good price. And I'm not about to pay more than $50 for one online

I want to play the Vita version of Muramasa but I don't want to buy a Vita for it.

I never understood why you guys like muramasa. I have to say I only played vanilla version and I don't own vita, but the original version was very boring and I think I didn't finish the grill's storyline. And I loved grimgrimoire, odin sphere and dragon's crown.

The dlc is without a doubt better than the main campaign by virtue of being shorter, it doesn't last enough to get stale unless you start going after the 2nd endings.

Loved the aesthetic, music, storybook atmosphere and wanted to love the game too, but the gameplay was just too damn aggravating and repetitive and stretched-out. Ended up switching to easy after the first campaign because it just wasn't worth the time and effort. This was the original PS2 version though, never played Leifthrasir.

>>387076004
This is exactly what Leifthrasir fixed. Even vanillaware admits the gameplay of the original had a lot of problems, and myself I'd never want to go back to try replaying it. The remake fixes it to match newer stuff like dragons crown in terms of gameplay.

Anon, the PS3 emulator devs got Dragon's Crown running the other week, check their YouTube channel.
It looks great, only major problem is slowdown. I'm personally gonna wait till the end of the year, still seems too early on IMO (will be great to play at increased resolutions, something they're adding in future), but at least we'll be able to play them on PC.
Actually, here's video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Ud38j67lI

Did Muramasa never have an artbook? I want to pick up the game and have the art too like Dragon's Crown and Odin Sphere but I'm not finding one.

Increased resolution won't matter for Dragon's Crown obviously, and while I've only completed the tutorial so far it seems to be running at full speed for me with no issues at all.

Personally I've already finished Demon's Souls and Catherine on rpcs3, the latter which was completely flawless, so it depends entirely on the game.
