Dragon's Crown

Is anyone picking this up? The folks over at IGN have been pimping the hell out of it and the videos I've seen look pretty good. It's a basic side-scrolling hack and slash, to me it looks like the gameplay from TMNT the Arcade game with a fantasy twist (think Gauntlet). The loot system has piqued my interest as it's very fresh and the characters you play as kind of decide the difficulty of the game. The review from IGN is here, they've given it an 8.5.

Did you end up picking this up? It looks pretty but...maybe too oldschool for me to fork out $50

I did pick it up and played it strong for a week or so. Then I went on vacation and when I came back, Final Fantasy XIV had come out (and it's demanding all my game time). It's a fun game and the art is really cool, but it gets repetitive fast.
