Best of all, the music tends to really fit the atmosphere of the games (both Drakengard and Nier) and even help elevate the lore of the world. That sense of build-up fit the game really well. Nier is one of the few games to provide musical variations for active gameplay moments versus exploration. Nier has a beautiful soundtrack that not only provides beautiful music, but also correlates it to the gameplay on screen. Whilst Drakengard may not be known for its soundtrack, Nier definitely is. I’d like to see them retry the formula for dragon riding and see how far they can take it. Not wholly solid, and kind of easy, but still pretty fun. Honestly, I was one of the few that found the gameplay fun. Granted, Drakengard games haven’t been known for their gameplay outside of being mindless hack and slash, but I feel like the developers improved with the gameplay in Nier. Utilising a dragon in Drakengard games is part of the main focus of the game, so there will be a lot of it. Games like Skyrim and Dark Souls and The Witcher 2 don’t really give you that satisfaction, aside from actually fighting dragons. Dragons are awesome, but they are even cooler when you can control them yourself. While a lot of games recently have included dragons within their lore, few have given you good freedom to control and ride dragons while also attacking enemies. Drakengard 3: 3 Reasons To Be Excited 3) Dragons Here are 3 reasons to be excited for this game (and hope it gets localised…).
The info that has poured out so far for the game suggest new characters anyway, so it’ll be a frantic new ride with the original game creators still at the helm. It’s been a long while since the last Drakengard game was released, so it’s highly likely the game won’t be a direct sequel to the Drakengard games, although having said that Nier (a game by the same people involved, but under Cavia), was a sequel of sorts to Drakengard 1 as it carried on the story long after one of Drakegard 1’s endings.
The recent release of Famitsu over in Japan has dropped a new title in development from Japanese developers Access Games.
