Game Description:
Drakengard 3, originally released in Japan as Drag-On Dragoon 3 (Japanese: ドラッグ オン ドラグーン3), is an action role-playing game developed by Access Games and published by Square Enix exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It is the third game in the Drakengard series, and a prequel to the original game. The game, like the rest of the series, features a mixture of ground-based hack-and-slash combat and aerial battles. The story focuses on Zero, a mysterious woman who partners with a dragon named Mikhail to kill her five sisters, who rule the world's regions. As she travels, the player discovers the true reason behind Zero's rampage.
The game, created to cater for hardcore role-playing game audiences, was developed by the same team who created the original Drakengard and series spin-off Nier, including producer Takamasa Shiba, director Taro Yoko and writer Sawako Natori. The music was composed by Keiichi Okabe, who also scored Nier. Unlike previous titles in the series, the team developed the game at Access Games, due to the company's experience at developing action titles and the team's wish to address criticisms laid at the gameplay of previous titles. The title received positive reviews and sales in Japan, and mixed reviews in the west: the ground-based gameplay and story were generally praised. Common critiques included the dragon gameplay, the graphics and multiple technical issues.
Drakengard 3 takes place roughly one hundred years before the events of Drakengard, acting as a prequel to the first two games in the series. Despite being a prequel, Drakengard 3 mostly follows separate timelines unrelated to the events of Drakengard. In earlier times, the land was ravaged by conflict between warlords. At the height of the carnage, five mysterious figures called Intoners descended from the heavens and, using their ability to utilize magic through song, defeated the warlords and ended the conflict. They were worshiped by the people for this and became rulers of various regions of the land. An unspecified time later, in the game's present, the strongest Intoner, One, wishes to unite the five once again and bring a lasting peace to the land. The source of the Intoners' power is an evil flower that saved Zero from death to use her as an instrument for mankind's destruction. Zero was its original host, and she now wishes to destroy all those affected by its power, 'sisters' spawned when Zero tried to kill herself, and ensure the safety of the world.
The player controls Zero (ゼロ Zero), the main protagonist and antihero, considered a traitor by the Intoners and their followers because of her mission to kill them. Aiding her on her quest is the dragon Mikhail (ミハイル Mihairu), who aids her and is her mount in aerial battle. The other five Intoners are: One (ワン Wan), the current ruler of the Intoners; Two (トウ Tou), the more cheerful member of the group and ruler of the Country of Sand; Three (スリイ Surii), ruler of the Country of Forest and an obsessive over dolls; Four (フォウ Fou), ruler of the Country of Mountain and the only virgin of the group; and Five (ファイブ Faibu), ruler of the Country of Sea and a woman consumed by greed for everything. Traveling with Zero on her quest are the disciples, a group who formally served the Intoners and accompany Zero after their original mistresses are killed. They include: Cent (セント Sento), a dumb and overconfident man, and the lover of the Intoner Two; Octa (オクタ Okuta), an old and cunning man obsessed with sex; Decadus (デカート Decāto) a gentlemanly warrior with a masochistic streak; and Dito (ディト Dito), a sadistic young man. Each of the disciples helps the Intoner summon an "angel" into battle.
Zero and her dragon Michael slaughter their way into the Cathedral City, the center of power for the Intoners. Zero's attempt to kill them directly ends disastrously: she loses her left arm, and Michael is mortally wounded by One's own dragon, Gabriel. A year after their defeat, Zero, now sporting an artificial arm, and her dragon, now a child-like reincarnation named Mikhail, set off to try killing the Intoners again.
