Three AI companions called Pawns travel with you through the large open world of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. They fight on their own, using abilities shaped by what they have learned from the player. The action centres on big monsters: you can slice the heads off a hydra, climb onto griffins to fight in the air, and work out a dragon's weaknesses.
On PC, players can share their Pawns online to earn rewards and advice, and can borrow other players' Pawns when a quest calls for particular skills. Capcom developed this single-player game, which has full controller support. It suits players who like action combat against large creatures and a cooperative AI party.
