When I initially went into this I did not know really what to expect but came away with one of the most excellent works of the medium. The game’s atmosphere and story are untouchable truly and even the widely criticized tedium helps immensely to set in really how senseless violent Caim is. Killing is not supposed to be fun it’s simply something that has to be done and even then Caim overdoes it, I think this really works despite how much others despise it. While there are things that could’ve been improved such as the supporting cast having more consistent members than only Angelus and Verdelet I think the impact is still felt throughout. Inuart’s jealously leading him to being manipulated into exactly his worst possible situation along with the sacrifices made at the end of Ending D left a meaningful emotional impact regardless. They really do not make games like Drakengard at all and it truly is a shame because this is a part of what makes video games mean something to me.
