Cast in a chaotic world of pact-beast allegiances and warfare,
Caim - a disinherited prince out for revenge - and his Red
Dragon, the flying, fire-breathing monster bound to him, have
entered into a pact that is mutually beneficial. This allows
the Dragon to live, and Caim to rescue his sister - who has
been taken prisoner by the Empire...
Drakengard
tells a tale of love, sacrifice, obligation and bitter compromise
following the struggles of a Union soldier, Caim. He comes
to find the Empire, an army with unexplainable great power,
has taken his sister prisoner. In order to save his only living
family member, he joins souls with a dragon. Together they
begin their quest to unravel the mystery behind the Empire's
sudden rise to power. They will soon discover there is a connection
between the Empire, Caim's sister, the mythical Seeds of Resurrection
and the gods themselves.
You
spend the game swapping between the two characters of Caim
and the Red Dragon. As Caim, you must battle your way through
hordes of raging soldiers to find your sister. As the dragon,
you can lay waste to the bizarre creatures and ships that
float above the castle that is Caim's sisters prison. There
are also levels were you can continuously swap between both
characters, to lay waste to your enemies on foot or from the
air.
The
first thing to grab you about this game is the graphics -
which are incredible detailed. The rampaging beasts attack
you in droves - which is incredibly frightening when you first
encounter them. However, it comes as somewhat of a relief
to learn that you only really need to attack key characters
and avoid the rest - or attack them if you want to earn more
magic points.
Taking
on the role of the Red Dragon, you fly through the clouds
and attack the strange floating platforms, which house deadly
cannons, as well as a host of strange flying monsters - including
bats, flying boxes and other dragons.
While
the game looks great and plays well, it soon becomes obvious
that it is a little to repetitive - fighting more and more
waves of different beasts and soldiers does not make for a
truly riveting game.
However,
the fact that you switch between characters helps to keep
the gameplay well above average, and there is something extremely
satisfying about laying waste to so many mighty soldiers.
An
enjoyable game, just a little repetitive.
