The weapon collection and upgrade aspect help balance out the simplicity by scratching the itch players feel most in these kinds of games. Each weapon has a relatively basic combo tree consisting of a basic combo, 2 combo finishers and an aerial finisher. You can switch between a sword, chakram, spear, or a pair of combat bracers at any time during the time you’ll spend fighting waves of the same brain dead soldiers, with transition attacks for mid-combo switching adding an additional level of cinematography to the fracas. The gameplay is immediately comparable to just about every other stylish action game you’ve ever played, albeit with change in the balance. He’s always pulls some face-palm worthy shit by the end of a stage, so suffice to say he’s the comic relief. Their relationship is the driving force of this game’s plot, and I hesitate to say anything other than this dragon kid is a funny watch. Zero is also accompanied by her young dragon, Mikhail. The crew exchanges plenty of masochistic, sadistic, narcissistic, erotic, and generally cringeworthy banter throughout the story, so if you can’t work past that, you might have to miss this one. She travels the world slaying her Intoner sisters one after another, sexually subjugating their disciples and putting them to work in the battlefield (with dreadful A.I.). A lithe Lilith of sorts, Zero was obviously intended to be captivating to behold. The main character is Zero, an Intoner (?) on a quest to commit the most ridiculous case of mass sororicide in recorded history for reasons I still don’t understand. I didn’t play D1 or D2, so a lot of it probably went over my head, but I still enjoyed it somehow. Is this a function of the natural brevity of the action/musou genre, or was this a fever-induced, ravenous 3 day binge? Mostly the latter. I’ve finished a lot of the game, and achieved 2 of the endings in a very short amount of time. 3 years and 17 dollars later, here I am, at the threshold of antiquity. I decided rather early that I’d wait for the price to drop on this one. Kirby’s Super Star (SNES, 1996) and Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (PS2, 2006), two memorable “twilight years” titles, both released within a less than a year of each game’s respective platform’s successor. It wouldn’t exist here if that was not the case. The game has SOME value, intrinsic or otherwise, to publishers looking to bring a game overseas. I didn’t play either, so the point is mostly moot, but if a game warrants a sequel, it has to hit a certain quality threshold. It’s Drakengard 3, but I didn’t even remember there being a Drakengard 2.We’re entering the nursing home era for the PS3, barely sustained by low quality ports of current gen titles. It’s like the console is 55-60 in human years, when you’ve had plenty of time to accumulate experience and wisdom, but you’re just young enough to still use it.

When a console has reached that a certain level of maturity, developers just know how to fuck with the shit. 2012 and onward to be of a pretty high quality, or at least solid graphically.

If console life cycles follow a pattern, than we can expect most PS3 exclusive titles developed from approx.

I mean, it even has a similar stylization to the PS4 cases. Several things popped into my head back then:

I just wondered if the Drakengard fanbase was big enough to warrant this over the titles that I am still salty about, regardless of the recent Tokyo Expo localization news.Īt the same time, that same vibe lent a cloak of mystique to the game.

How is THIS any less risky than localizing any one of the numerous Dragon Quest games for the 3DS? I understand, ADD generation blah blah blah action sells yada yada. I couldn’t help but wonder why Square Enix would publish this game in the west. The vibe I’m speaking of, the “Why is this even a thing?” vibe, was intense with this game. Well, if you, like me, think a little too hard about your game purchases sometimes, than you may have gotten the same vibe from D3 that did at launch, and even still before then. So WHY pick this game over an actual buried treasure? The game crossed the pond just a paltry two years ago, shit maybe even less than that. I know what you’re thinking….”Yo, that shit ain’t even that old, though brah,” and rightfully so. YES, today, we will delve into Drakengard 3.
