While the combat is repetitive and lacking depth, the variety of weapons and multiple styles of engagements ranging from rail shooter, on foot and on dragon back helped to break up the monotony.

Unlike Nier, getting the new endings all involved brand new content with new bosses to topple and tons of new dialog, so I was always looking forward to the next stage.

The overarching storyline is also rather mysterious, and goes far beyond the initial impressions throughout its five distinct endings that must all be experienced to fully understand the story. Zero’s sisters and their disciples are quite the characters themselves with their own little quirks, and the constant banter between the party through various situations was quite entertaining to say the least. Then, there is Mikhail- her “trusty” dragon with the mind of a little child who constantly pisses himself and talks about how everyone should just get along in the midst of a blood bath. She also shared in my distaste for obligatory platforming sections by yelling, “I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT!”. She’s not a particularly happy individual, and is constantly cursing at the various trials that are presented in front of her.Īt some point she causes an avalanche by speaking too loudly in the snowy alps after being warned, and says something along the lines of “pussy snow, I wasn’t even yelling that loud!”. The heroine of this tragedy is Zero, a crude woman dressed in white who is willing to cut down any and all who stand in her way of killing her five sisters. If there is one definitive similarity between Nier and Drakengard 3 it’s that the best parts of the game are its cast of insane characters and intriguing storyline. Voice Acting Selection: ENG only standard.
