In Drakengard, you mostly play as Caim, a whiny bloodthirsty anime pretty boy with a big sword who’s in the middle of fighting an army of red-eyed zombified imperial knights terrorizing a castle under the jurisdiction of the Union who are safeguarding Caim’s sister Furiae, who happens to both serve as the de-facto Goddess in name only as well as one of four seals keeping the mysterious Watchers from entering the world of Midgard.
Plot - Going Down the Rabbit Hole that is the Plot of Drakengard It might take a while though, because hoo Nellie does this game have a crazy as heck plot! -Ahem!. You might also be asking: why? Well, let’s just start with explaining the plot of this crazy fever dream of a game and I’ll tell you why. Keep in mind the fact that Drakengard’s North American release was published in the same year as Half-Life 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Halo 2, God of War, Spider-Man 2 for PlayStation 2, World of Warcraft, Jak 3, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, and arguably the best Ratchet & Clank game and you’ll see exactly what caused Drakengard to attain a cult following despite modest yet underwhelming sales and predominantly mixed reviews at the time. What follows is a story of an ambitious project pushed out under tight budgetary restraints and reshaped to compete with what was at the time an emerging trend in popular action games. Today I’ll be talking about the first Drakengard game, truly the Evangelion of video games in terms of the fact that all discussions revolving around eccentric video game director Yoko Taro will inevitably lead to even remotely mentioning the Drag-On Dragoon series, as it is known as in Japan. How do ya do fellow gamers? It’s-a me, Doctor M., recently upgraded to the status of uncle-hood, and finally getting around to talking about a game I personally haven’t played yet (but I did play enough of Drakengard III, both the NieR games and watched enough let’s play and lore retrospective videos on this topic to be considered thoroughly aware of this game’s legacy). Reader's discretion is advised.ĭrakengard review | Ace Combat but with Dragons, Dynasty Warriors, and Depression | Classic™ Yoko Taro™ Shenanigans™ Warning: The following game being reviewed features dark and taboo subject matter not appropriate for general audience members under the age of 18.
