this is such a fascinating game to me.

i hated playing 90% of it, didn't really care for any of the characters besides Caim and Angelus, the ost made me genuinely angry sometimes because of how repetitive and incoherent it is, the chapters structure makes no sense. some are unusually short while others are unbearably long.

and yet in spite of that, i kept playing and did every single ending. even during my miserable time i was fascinated by the lengths this game went to to make my experience as horrible as possible.

was this a good game? i'm not sure. was this a bad game? i'm also not sure. was this a very unique experience that i can't see being replicated in anything but in this medium? absolutely.

Drakengard fully takes advantage of its medium to create this one of a kind experience and i will probably never forget about this hellish piece of shit anytime soon.

This was the worst thing I have ever played. The main cast copnsists of a sociopathic mass murderer, a cannibal, a murderous priest, a pedophile, a psychotic fairy, a depressed kid, and a dragon who just fucking hates everything. At no point do you ever feel good about the things you do in this game, slaughtering retreating soldiers, innocent creatures who know no better, and even fighting to murder a fucking child all as its amazing but haunted soundtracks pounds into your head over and over. The repetitive gameplay, the horrors of the whole situation of the story, those fucking god awful dragon missions, the bizzare difficulty dips and spikes, the missions that never seem to fucking end make this experience so fucking miserable but its almost as if this was all completely on purpose because no person should ever feel good playing as Caim. Idk if yoko taro intended the gameplay to be this awful but it sure ass hell adds to the experience of this cursed chaotic evil mess in a way i have never experienced in game. you dont want to play, but you cant stop. you have to see what happens next. you have to see how insane yoko taro gets. you cant stop until you know the limits of this fucking game. im definately glad i experienced this even if it at times made me go insane. its one of the most unique experiences ive ever had playing a game.

this game is disturbing and cursed and no person should ever play this piece of shit. its one of the best games i've ever played
