![]() A mountain of technical flaws, plus a dreadful script and a wholly unlikeable protagonist. Great soundtrack.Ĭons: The aerial combat on the dragon is awful, in large part thanks to the terrible camera. To celebrate the news, we're releasing a new trailer featuring. Pros: The ground combat is really not bad, with a variety of different weapons with clearly delineated uses. Drakengard 3 will be released in Europe and PAL territories on May 21, 2014. In Short: It’s obviously been made on the cheap, but that’s no excuse for the legion of technical problems and the embarrassingly unsophisticated script of this obnoxious action game. But if Square Enix Europe are implying it doesn’t really deserve that level of support we’d have to say we agree with them. And while the combat isn’t an entirely lost cause there’s a dozen other similar games that do a far better job of the same basic idea.ĭespite all that we’re still glad the game is available here, even if it did also get a retail release in America. ![]() Maybe they’ll get something out of the story but we’re certain nobody else will. We’re not sure how many Drakengard fans there are in the West but we doubt many of them aren’t going to end up wishing the series had stayed at just two games.

The technical issues are just too severe to forgive though, with constant bouts of slowdown, low polygon landscapes and characters, and muddy textures. Drakengard 3 is a title that gleefully wallows in blood, deviance, and grotesquerie. Which is a shame as they would’ve been an enjoyable diversion otherwise, especially as the on-the-rails style action is so rare nowadays. You can just about get by with it but it completely ruins the Panzer Dragoon style aerial sections where you’re riding around on Mikhail. The main problem with the combat is the camera, which wobbles around after Zero like an old granny with a GoPro strapped to her zimmer frame. There aren’t many different moves for each weapon but by mixing up the bad guys you’re encouraged to think about which you need to be using to destroy an enemy’s armour or to set up a combo attack. A slightly more involved version of Dynasty Warriors is a more apt description, with Zero’s four weapons (sword, spear, chakra, and bare fists) all having a different use.
