After players gain extra weapon types, they will be able to switch between four different weapons at any time allowing the player to string together Gauntlet, Sword, Lance, and Chakram attacks all into one intricate combo if they happen to be skilled enough or dodge one of the boss enemies long enough to actually pull off such a barrage of attacks without killing everything before it is finished. That being said, the final branch does require a bit of work to unlock and completing the branch itself might be the most frustrating part of the title.ĭrakengard 3 has remained true to its roots as far as combat is concerned only evolving to become a faster system over the years. It is worth noting though that unlike last few games, Drakengard 3’s story branches are simply unlocked by completing the previous branch which makes use of a few past stages that have been twisted in some form. However the further one goes the deeper the rabbit hole becomes as even the basic ending of the story is not the only ending available as there are four separate endings in total, each one branching off on its own similar to past Drakengard games and as one progresses it creates a need to know more about the world surrounding the game. Zero’s quest seems to be nothing more than a quest for destruction.

With a cast of characters full of evil or twisted personalities Drakengard 3 shines by giving these characters hilarious dialogue as they argue and trade quips with one another through each stage and in cut-scenes.Īlthough laced with plenty of great humor and strange situations, the story itself can be rather confusing at times, as the Drakengard series is wont to do. Then again, her sisters range from innocent to psychopathic and their disciples are either huge perverts or also psychotic.

While past Drakengard titles may have been balanced in a gray area, throughout Drakengard 3 we see Zero as largely the villain of the series as she brutally works her way through her sisters and takes their disciples as her own. As you may surmise, Zero is not exactly a good person as she relishes in the thought of slaying her sisters and anyone who gets in her way and treats Mikhail like trash. Taking a year off to lick her wounds, Zero and the young and naïve Mikhail, the reincarnated form of Michael, are out for revenge this time and Zero’s first target is her sister Five as she begins her hunt once again. Despite her best efforts, One is prepared for Zero’s attack and counters with a corrupted dragon of her own that not only tears off Zero’s arm but also wounds Michael so grievously that he is forced to reincarnate. Zero is searching for her five Intoner sisters to kill them all and seemingly take over the world for herself and with the help of her dragon Michael she quickly makes mincemeat out of her sisters’ defenses before facing off against One, Two, Three, Four, and Five. To be more specific, she is out for her sisters’ blood. Unfortunately unlike the story the man was reading, Zero isn’t about to save anyone.

The person holding this sword happens to be the main character of Drakengard 3 Zero and she is one such Intoner. While an old man begins to tell the story of how the ‘Intoners’ saved the world and brought it to prosperity, he is suddenly stabbed through the chest with a sword. Now after so much time has passed, does Drakengard 3 still have the same feel of the past games? As such fans were delighted to hear that Drakengard 3 was in development and better yet, it was going to be released in North America. While Nier was a great return to form, it has been nearly ten years since a Drakengard title was produced. This is mostly because he is the man responsible for the Drakengard series and Nier. Taro Yoko has only directed a number of games in his life but for many people his titles are impossible to forget.
