🐉 LORE OVERVIEW:
In a war-torn world of fading gods and burning empires, Caim — a vengeful prince — forms a blood pact with the crimson dragon Angelus to save his sister Furiae, the Goddess of the Seal. But with each battle, the line between hero and monster starts to blur.
Drakengard dives deep into themes of:
✅ Madness and morality
✅ Sacrifice and obsession
✅ Divine horror and apocalyptic futures
✅ And the seeds of NieR Replicant, Automata, and more
Meet unforgettable allies like the tormented elf Arioch and guilt-ridden Leonard, each with stories as broken as the world around them. Nothing is sacred. Nothing is safe.
🎯 GOALS:
✅ Begin our journey as Caim & forge the blood pact with Angelus
✅ Learn aerial dragon combat & ground warfare mechanics
✅ Meet Furiae, Verdelet, and the cursed allies
✅ Dive into the early lore connecting to NieR
✅ Explore the eerie atmosphere, soundtrack, and multiple endings setup
✅ React live to some of the game’s most unsettling moments
🧠 WHY THIS GAME STILL MATTERS:
Drakengard may look like a typical hack-and-slash from the PS2 era, but under its surface lies a horrifyingly beautiful foundation for one of gaming’s most beloved narrative universes. If you're a NieR fan, this is where everything began — and it’s darker than you remember.
