Drakengard 1. Bros..what the actual fuck

JokerMM

Gay porn is where it's at.
You're probably wondering what kind of supernatural force made you play this, well I was literally forced, well not really but I lost a stupid fucking bet with this girl, and the punishment? Playing and completing this..thing

Well, I gotta admit, this has to be the worst and most interesting video game I have ever played.
This game makes Evangelion look like a fucking joke

So you play as this boy called Caim, you'd expect this to be story of how this fine Young Man is gonna save the world while making maidens fall for him left and right, a champion of justice and all that crap you typically find in other jrpgs

NOPE

he is a complete sociopathic bloodlust filled maniac piece of shit

There's also His sister, a gate Guardian of the world and is madly in love with her brother... Ahh yess, incest!

Then there is your first companion Inuart. Who in a regular JRPG would be a valued ally, in this game he is nothing more than a fucking pansy loser who can't handle the fact that he has no chance with Caims Sister Furiae. He is a complete tool and a huge pussy.

While there is the elf woman Arioch, in other games the elf character would be the wise one with badass magic spells but would keep to themselves. In this game however Arioch is a completely psycho elf woman who eats human children as a delicacy! NOT EVEN JOKING

Then there is Verdelet the priest guy. In other games he would be the healer, in this he does jack and shit, The man is honestly just an asshole.

Then the dragon, who I will not name because that is a spoiler, so I will call her Red. Red hates humans completely, and was basically forced into a magical pact with Caim otherwise they both would have died. Caim, in exchange for this pact so he would survive a wound, lost his voice. (If you make a pact with a magic creature you tend to lose something. Like your voice, ovaries, sight, hair, or even aging. No really, a lot of this stuff is really trippy in terms of pacts.)

Then there's the next guy, and oh boy...Idk what the fuck was yoko smoking with this one
He's a priest named Leonard, and he's a fucking PEDOPHILE SHOWN IN SYMPATHETIC LIGHT, and bros, believe it or not, he's the least assholish character among them lmaoooo

I wish I was joking, I really am

So these clowns work alongside Caim as he ventures to kill off an evil empire alongside the forces of The Union army. The evil empire also holding secrets as the batshit insane forces behind it try to bring the world to ruin by destroying the seals of the planet and bringing The Watchers to the realm.

This is not as simple as it sounds. the amount of times I said 'What the actual fuck" out loud is in the double digits

Let's talk gameplay

This game is not fun
Not even in the slightest measures possible.
combat on the ground is so slow and tedious, the render distance is awful. The aerial combat is somewhat better but not even close to something like Panzeer Dragoon saga series, the magic and weapon system isn't fun, the games graphics are early PS2 levels, and the music, oh my fucking god that music, while being atmospheric, it sounds like someone completely went bat fucking shit insane and decided to yell, 'FUCK IT!' and repeat the song over and over again with sheer insanity as his guide
Here's an example


The final boss

I don't even know man
I don't even fucking know
Put it like this
I would rather peel my nails off than ever having to beat this ever again
Straight up FUCK who ever thought this was a good idea

All in all tho,This is a game which I feel should be called a artistic masterpiece mainly because it had the balls to deal with a lot of things back when video games were finally spreading their wings at becoming a full fledged art form and I truly do not want this insanity to be forgotten.

Final score: 💀/10

Also ending E straight up leads to Nier 1. That's pretty cool

I played it in 2020 or 2021. It was such an awful, stupid game. You could tell that the entire point of the game was to be as shocking as possible, with every party member being a horrible piece of shit outside of Seere, and then the Watchers being man-eating naked babies. The story structure was extremely weird, and everyone already knows the gameplay is atrocious. I’m not sure why the devs felt the need to make some missions so long. The only missions I ever enjoyed were the linear ones with a fixed camera. Those were actually decent.


I will say that mutated Furiae is still probably one of the most fucking terrifying things I’ve ever seen. And some of the CG cutscenes still look good to this day.


But then again, different strokes for different folks. I somehow managed to like Drakengard 3 (though I still haven’t gone to the last ending route) despite the really immature humor, every character being unlikeable, and it having the worst framerate of any game ever.

The soundtrack contributes to the game's atmosphere a lot, it's so fucking feverish. The composer got a lot of flack for it back in the day but I don't think the game would work nearly as well without it.

Wasn't she a hermaphrodite?

I haven't played that game but it would be pretty funny if a chick with a dick was lore-accurate, lol.

I think I messed up my spoiler tags. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Yeah, that's lore accurate. :p Apparently there was a problem in whatever makes Replicants and she was mistakenly born with a dick. That's why she is dressed up with barely anything, to accentuate her female body since you know, she doesn't like having a penis.

Weird ass game.

Well, she might not like it, but gamers on the other hand...

Thank your friend OP for making you play this gem.
Since you know about ending E, you better play Nier and Nier Automata if you did not already.
I wish i could experience discovering those masterpieces again.

You left out the Godzilla sized pregnant bald woman spread eagle over Japan blasting out demon fetuses you shoot down in the game's final act. Then it turns into a music rhythm game in the final battle and if you win you get the "best ending" where
you are transported to modern day Japan and a jet fighter kills you and the dragon with a missile.

He talked about it its ending E which leads to Nier.

edit : to be fair he just grazed upon the complete madness which is ending e so it was welcome of you to go into details !
I read somewhere that Taro would get blackout drunk while working on the story of drakengard and Nier, write for entire nights only to discovers pages and pages of his crazy ideas in the morning, without any recollection of having written them...
