Because at this moment, yet again, he tricked me. It’s a moment where I can feel Yoko Taro laughing. There is a turn that occurs, though for every player it is different, and for some that turn may never happen, when the biggest hater of Drakengard 3 stops being the player and starts being Zero. Similarly, the dialogue between characters happens to be actually funny in its own way. Combat and platforming aren’t that bad, they won’t blow you away but they get the job done. Yet somewhere amidst the sexual innuendos, repetitive fighting, and constant complaining from Zero - you learn to love it all. Almost like she can read the player's thoughts, Zero will shoot off a sarcastic line about how repetitive platforming is or how the game has no real explanation for some elements of its world beyond saying “It’s magic” and hand-waving it away. Made up of average hack-n-slash combat and oftentimes frustrating platforming. The gameplay is similarly hard to deal with at first. Zero loathes them, and the player can’t help but agree with her. They are all disgusting characters who can’t stop making lewd comments during combat. As described by Zero, the party is comprised of “a dummy, a psycho, a waste of space, and a pervert.” Each one is a man who acted as a servant to one of Zero’s sisters. Not that all the people she murders along the way appreciate her noble cause.Īs the player guides Zero along her revenge tour, a small party forms around her. In the game’s opening hour, we learn that her goal is to murder her five sisters to save humanity. She’s psychopathic, has an affinity for cussing out everybody around her, and she ruthlessly abuses the newborn dragon, Mikhail. From the start of Drakengard 3, which acts as a distant prequel to the first game, protagonist Zero is somebody that does not endear herself to the player.
