The wait for Dragon's Crown, Vanillaware's PlayStation 3 and Vita beat-em-up, is almost over. It arrives on August 6, but you can get a quick rundown of the features right now.

With five different classes, allies to recruit (by finding their desiccated corpses and reviving them), a multitude of quests, and attractive art with a hand-painted feel, Dragon's Crown might just be the update this genre needs. 

Our review will be live in the coming days. Until then, Atlus' most recent trailer will have to hold you over.
