Fighters swing swords with an immediate sense of heft, but the lack of a lock-on feature feels terribly dated. Mages splurt magic piss-peas out of the glowy end of their staff, ineffectively tapping foes like a chain of wet kisses. Initially though, you really won't see it. It's natural to punctuate conversations about the game with tales about how weird the thing is, but Dragon's Dogma would be throwaway nonsense if it didn't have such a superb combat system. Xbox One review copy provided by the publisher.There are tons of strange things to be said about this game, but to look at Dragon's Dogma as a mere hip curio does it a huge disservice. See on the Xbox Store (opens in new tab).The combat strangely lacks a roll or dodge move by default, though dodges eventually can be equipped.ĭragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen costs $29.99 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam.Character customization options are limited compared to modern RPGs.Graphics and frame rate don't take advantage of the Xbox One's horsepower.A huge world, countless quests, and nearly limitless adventure - all for just thirty bucks.Pawn system is deep and lets friends level each others' party members.Climbing gigantic monsters and stabbing them is just too cool.Few would've expected a Japanese developer like Capcom to release a "Western-style" action-RPG that could hold its own against the Elder Scrolls and Witcher series, but that's exactly what happened. With so much content and depth, Dark Arisen is just as impressive as ever in the gameplay department. Final impressionsĭragon's Dogma is a role-playing game that deserves to be appreciated. So Dark Arisen is smoother than before, but 60 FPS and more graphical improvements would have been welcome. Running at an increased resolution, this new version maintains a solid 30 frames per second. The original 360 version often chugged in the frame rate department, just like Dark Souls I and II. You'll have to complete the game on hard mode, finish a speedrun (which isn't very hard on New Game+ thanks to fast travel), and more.ĭragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen's Xbox One improvements are regrettably limited in nature. The Xbox One version of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen includes 59 Achievements worth a total of 1,000 Gamerscore, including all of the Xbox 360 Dragon's Dogma Achievements and some dedicated to the Dark Arisen content. Bitterback Isle is said to be ultra-challenging, which should make it perfect for Dark Souls fans. It also introduces a new location called Bitterback Isle, four new bosses, and plenty of exclusive items. Dark Arisen rebalances the whole game, revamps the menus, and adds hard and speedrun modes. This version of Dragon's Dogma includes all previous DLC and the Dark Arisen expansion.
