This have anything to do with Dragon's Crown?

Just wondering, it seems very similar.

Well there's another game that's very similar: The Vagrant, but it was not made at the same studio. I like to assume that there's some influence from Vanillaware (the studio responsible from Dragon's Crow and Odin Sphere) in videogames.

In the other hand, Games2gather, the studio responsible of Dragon Spear, it's another studio that, maybe, had some people from Vanillaware or Sakura Games (studio responsible from The Vagrant).

But, again, maybe there's some homage and that's everything. I cannot acced to the Games2gather page so I dont'n really know.

I even readed here in Steam someone that said that the art style remembered him to some manga, so there's that too.

Sorry for my english :).

Highly unlikely as the developers behind this game are based in Korea while Vanillaware behind Dragon's Crown is a Japanese based developer who have several games up their sleeves. Games like Odin Sphere, Muramasa Blade/Rebirth, Grand Knight's History, Grim Grimoire and an upcoming game 13 Sentinels.

This game started off as mobile game as one of those pay2win freemium crapware type of games.

Now buckle up for a good bit of my comparisons between the two if you feel like reading through it. No TLDRs though so ignore this entirely if you don't like paragraphs.

You can see a lot of similarities between the two especially the..."artwork" and classes. It's not the first one to pay homage to Vanillaware's art style though. Look up Dragon Blaze, not the PS2 game, on the appstore and it has pretty similar artstyle to Vanillaware's art too although the gameplay is completely different since it's much more like the those hero collector pay2win mobile type games.

Imo Dragon's Crown definitely better in terms of gameplay with how each class plays in depth and having the ability to play multiplayer in any dungeon and if that's not possible you can bring in any player NPCs that you rescued. I like this game's dodging, jumps+aerial dodging, gliding, power smashes, summoning minions or food and expendable weapons, using expendable weapons, making use of the environment, blocking and different types of counter mechanics compared to DS's simplified combat. One thing I don't like is that many skills and spells have limited uses per loadout per dungeon run so those have to be used much more conservatively especially the warlock's/sorceress's spells which a great deal of their utilities are based on.

Dragon Spear on the other hand has many more bosses/raids, its pretty a much straight shot forward to the bosses once you get into Abyss raids. It also has a great deal more in terms of customization and avatars since in D Crown the only difference between you and other people are color palette swaps. It's story is pretty weak although D Crown's isn't that much better either way. My main gripe with this game despite being typically cheaper than D Crown is the multiplayer in which you and your teamates could be in the same network, in the same house, on 1gigabit+ speeds with less than 5ms ping latency due to being literally feet away from each other and it would still lag like balls to anyone not the host...
If you don't experience this then good for you but I do and I hardly lag in multiplayer games especially with people in the same house or city or heck even with other people from like Germany where even if I have close to 70-100ms ping with them due to distance I wouldn't lag as bad as I would in this game with people with much less ping.
