![]() With that said, the official trailer for Drakengard 3 does suggest conflicts with units of enemies: To me, the footage of Drakengard 3 is closer to the latter than the former. Nier, meanwhile, was about small skirmishes with enemies that were more mobile and generally tougher to kill individually. Drakengard has historically been about battlefield conflicts and the hero takes on units of enemies in an almost Dynasty Warriors-style combat system. The most obvious one is the numbers of enemies on screen. Now, even taking into account the fact that the original Drakengard games are a generation behind, there are a couple of features to Drakengard 3 which seem a little strange for that franchise. Now compare to the gameplay from Drakengard 2 (also on PS2, and a direct sequel to the first game): Witness the newest clip of the game in action, for instance (apologies for the poor quality of the video, I did not record it): Drakengard in HD? Sign me up.īut as I’ve been watching the footage of the game in action, I’ve found myself rather confused. ![]() So when Cavia – now absorbed within Marvellous, announced that the team was back together and working on Drakengard 3, I was over the moon. ![]() Great games, both of them, but both had clear room to improve even more. The team was responsible for not one, but two games that I couldn’t put down – Drakengard on the PS2 and then Nier on the PS3.įollowing the announcement that Cavia was no more I was rather sad, if for no other reason than I felt that the team never quite hit the heights they could have with both Drakengard and Nier. If you haven’t picked up the game yet though, don’t worry, there’s still time! Drakengard 3 is available now from and other participating retailers, and with all the DLC now available, it’s a great time to play.Cavia was one of my favourite Japanese developers for the short time it was around. Click here for more details, and I look forward to reading your poetry! To name a few, it’s got an art book, copies of the voice recording scripts, a “chips” music CD, the original Japanese novella… And that’s just scratching the surface. Tweet us a nature-themed haiku about one of the game’s sisters for a chance to win a very rare Japanese version of the Drakengard 3 Collector’s Edition, which has so many extras, you’ll practically need a whole shelf for this game alone. You can equip Kainè’s garb for instance, which doubles the window for triggering a parry, or NIER’s garb, (based on his Replicant form) which boosts your damage by 5%.įinally, if you enjoyed the game, we’re starting a fun little contest on Twitter today too that the developers of Drakengard 3 will be judging. I’d also like to point out that the Japanese VO is available to those of you who prefer to play the game in its original language, and that there’s a lot of great content from NIER as well. Each sister has her own playable stage that also gives you their own unique weapon and brand new trophies to earn (except Two.) There’s nothing more endearingly creepy than a dragon incinerating enemies with the “Beautiful Child” on.Īnd if it’s extra content you’re looking for, some of the most robust DLC we’ve released include prologue chapters for each of the Intoner Sisters, which put you in the shoes of each sister in events that take place before the game. You can also pick up music packs that change the music in certain places to some familiar tunes, and even put hats on Mikhail. You can put Zero in several costumes that are throwbacks to the original two Drakengard games as well as NIER, all of which adjust her abilities in one way or another. ![]() Regardless of where you’re at in the story, today we’ve released the final batch of DLC, totaling more than 30 items you can download to dive even deeper into the twisted world of Zero and her quest to murder her own sisters.
