Square Enix branches out in a new direction with a massive medieval brawler with a twisted plot and some shooter elements. Read Review
Known as Drag-On Dragoon in Japan, Drakengard is a dragon-themed action game with roleplaying elements. Drakengard tells the story of the soldier Caim as he fights to save his kidnapped sister from the clutches of the evil Empire. He cannot do it alone, however, so he joins his soul with that of a dragon to combine powers and set out on their way to defeat the enemy and solve the mysteries of the dragon. Mixing gameplay from such titles as Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dynasty Warriors, and Final Fantasy, the game allows its players to fight on the ground and in the air -- with full range of movement and over 60 weapons and attacks to exploit.

It's no secret that when a massively popular game hits the market, a lot of developers try and build off of its ideas. Success breeds imitation; some imitators manage to have enough of their own spark as to stand out, and some are cash-ins that fall by the wayside. Drakengard is clearly influenced by the multimillion-selling (in Japan, anyway) gameplay of Koei's Dynasty Warriors games. Instead of ancient Chinese warlords, Drakengard is a faux-European medieval fantasy tale -- complete with reasonably well-faked British accents. Rather than complaining, I'd point out that it just so happens that Square Enix got there first, and I'm merely glad somebody who can make it work did. Read More »
