Negatives first

Ground mission gameplay was insanely boring and repetitive, majority of the cast is eh, and most of the music is pretty fuckin bad

However the narrative and stylistic strengths of Drakengard still push it above most of these criticisms. The story is fucking nuts, the cutscenes are fuckin nuts, caim and angelus are great, and the dark fantasy atmosphere is conveyed really well. Genuinely just really well done nightmare world.

The gameplay may be subpar (aside from a few really enjoyable dragon sections), but i will never forget moments like ending B or D, shit just goes absolutely bananas
