While Capcom could have done a whole lot more with this expansion, the fact of the matter is the solid game underneath is still faithfully preserved.Dragon's Dogma is an action role-playing hack and slash video game developed and published by Capcom for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012. Despite the issues, the series is an intriguing prospect that does many things right, and shouldn’t be missed by action or RPG fans alike.
While I can’t wholly recommend Dark Arisen to anyone but the most hardcore of Dragon’s Dogma fans, if you haven’t touched the franchise yet, this is a perfect opportunity to do so. Then again, it works both ways as you could rent the original, save a file, and then reap these benefits with Dark Arisen as your first experience. The small extras almost feel like a bribe of sorts, and Capcom could have done much better than this. As a result, it’s really tough to recommend the game to anyone who felt lukewarm with the original given the fact that it’s essentially the same experience, just with a new island. In an odd move, the game is only available currently in its fully priced form - so if you own the original, you need to purchase the $39.99 disc or full digital game with no option to purchase a discounted DLC package. Capcom channeled their inner Demon’s Souls love for Bitterblack Isle in a good way, and even if it wasn’t as imaginative as either game in the Souls series, it still did a decent job of giving off the allure of a dark and dangerous place. To be blunt, Bitterblack Isle didn’t blow me away, but it was a pretty fun experience that augmented the game decently enough. New bosses will pepper the dungeon, some of which are actually new, some of which are re-skins or reworks of already existing enemies. For people who love the game’s combat, Bitterblack Isle will most likely win you over due to the fact that it’s nonstop fighting. When I say this area is linear, I mean it - you’ll basically start at the top, and head down into the depths of a single dungeon as you fight creature after creature. After automatically gaining a new quest and speaking to an NPC named Olra, you’ll be on your way to Bitterblack Isle - the decidedly Demon’s/ Dark Souls flavored new zone. Bitterblack Isle is the main draw of Dark Arisen, as it offers up approximately 10-15 hours of new, linear content.
