For a game about mindlessly slashing at everything onscreen, Drakengard 3 never fails to surprise. While an old man on stilts declares that he can’t function without “booty in the morning,” and Zero complains about receiving experience points for mundane tasks, this third Drakengard goes out of its way to subvert expectations and lampoon itself at every opportunity. It is crude, both in terms of gameplay and humor, yet it carries with it a total sincerity, a sheer love of its own creative insanity that I can’t help respecting. There’s something about this game that is impossible to hate.
One drakengard 3 full#
Full of brainless hack and slash combat that is sloppy in execution, littered with insensible dialog, full of repeated references to extreme masochism, horny old men, and the shoddiness of the game’s own level design, this is a title that picks up the crazy ball and proceeds to hump it without dignity or remorse. She is also the player character, and this is one of the stupidest videogames I’ve ever played.Ĭoming to us courtesy of Access Games – that studio behind the brilliantly demented Deadly Premonition – Drakengard 3 is about as dumb as it gets. She’s sadistic and genocidal, she’s abusive towards her only companions. After killing women, she takes their men and has sex with them, she has a flower that’s sticking out of one eye that lets her regrow her limbs, and her arm falls off but she uses a parasite to keep it attached. She wants to kill her sisters to become the strongest being in the world, and she also has a dragon that urinates compulsively. Zero is an intoner, one of six numerically named sisters with the ability to sing powerful forces into being.
