If the game was all just air combat, I would probably have more fond things to say about the gameplay, because I really do enjoy playing with my bad dragon… That sounds gross but I’m keeping it. Now the aerial combat, that’s where the real fun is at. And in the late game areas, where healing is few and far between and enemies get more and more relentless, it slowly starts to drain you. I didn’t even realize what was happening before I panicked. One really bad instant was when I was at 75% health and I was immediately knocked down to 5% in a second. But the annoying as hell part is reserved for much later in the game when the enemies can surround you and smack you around in groups. I’m aware that you can use the dragon, but every time I do, it’s not long before a wizard or a pack of annoying archers shoots her and sends her away, so it’s mostly just ground combat. Kill this platoon, now go kill this group of enemies, now kill all these enemies. I wouldn’t mind if there was so much the game asks you do with the ground combat. And I bitched about the lack of variety in Gungrave’s combat, but this is just sad. Occasionally you’ll hit the triangle button to do a magic attack, but that’s it. You spam the square button like a motherfucker. Enemies are either way to easy and just swarm you like it’s a Dynasty Warriors game. There are very few times you will have fun. The on ground combat can range from two types of things. more alluring means… Ahem, so how about that gameplay? It’s probably why I was lured in by NieR: Automata. I love this darker turn and I can’t get enough of it. And remember, these are our protagonists. Seere is just the goodie-toe shoes of the group, but Arioch is a cannibal that eats children to have something inside of her, and Leonard is… well… Leonard is a pedophile… so… I don’t know which is worse. And like I said, most of these characters are awful people. And Seere, the annoying one, sacrificed his mortality and stayed young. Arioch, the elf, sacrificed her ability to have children. Leonard, the priest, sacrificed his sight. All of his party members sacrifice something. I mean, he could in the intro, he had a voice actor, but on a neat twist on the silent protagonist trope, for Caim to become a pact partner, he had to sacrifice something, that being his ability to speak. Sure, Caim is a hero, but he is all about murdering the Empire for the hell of it. And it really doesn’t help with your party members being just as horrible as Caim. Even the weapons you collect are depressing as all hell. Everything in this game has a depressing backstory to it. If there is one thing I love about this game, it’s the unapologetic dark story telling. Typical RPG stuff until you start pulling back the veil of the games story and explore it in deeper detail. With the help of a pact partner, a dragon named Angelus, Caim cuts a bloody path to the Empire to get revenge and save his sister. He is the brother of the goddess, Furiae, who protects the world from the destruction of the Watchers. The game follows our hero Caim, a young man who has a massive hate boner for the Empire, an army of nights that worship entities called The Watchers for murdering his parents. ![]() And Drakengard… Is not! I’m sorry to throw it out there right outta the gate, but every positive I have for Drakengard is completely ruined for me by the gameplay itself, but let’s at least get into the plot before I do rain on the cult following’s parade. Undertale is a good recent example of this, and that game was really fun to play. I can also forgive it if the gameplay is fun. I get that being told you’re a bad person for killing millions of enemies is not something a lot of people like, but as long as it’s trying to tell an interesting narrative then it can be forgivable, and Drakengard does have a neat narrative. Drakengard, known in Japan as Drag-On Dragoon, was a game created by Yoko Taro, who created it to make a more grim RPG with no morally just characters, no fun adventures, and certainly no rewarding the player for endless slaughter. And how could that be? Well… it’s quite simple to see. Some of you may not know this, but NieR has got a sort of Persona situation going on, as in the spin-off game is a more popular game than the mainline series. I’ve sang the games praises on numerous occasions and will probably do so again and again. Everyone has sang this games praises and that is for very good reasons. ![]()
