In addition to that beefy game-play video, a new batch of screenshots showing off Vanillaware's Dragon's Crown has appeared on 4Gamer. These screens showcase the game's vivid, highly stylized visuals. That mermaid is hotter than the summer sun. That chimera looks truly menacing and horrible. That world map looks like something snatched out of a storybook. From what we've seen of it so far, Dragon's Crown has a lot more going for it than its good looks - but even if it didn't, a purchase would probably still be justified. That mermaid is actually hotter than the sorceress.

Dragon's Crown will be available in Japan on July 25th (lucky) and in North America on August 6th. Europe gets the game this fall. View the new screens below.
