Ultimately, it’s a subtle story of excessive greed, selfishness, self-destruction, and all that other happy stuff. Nocturne pulled no punches in the manner it unfavorably depicted religion and in underlining the hypocrisy of the people you meet.
Drakengard 3 soundtrack composer series#
Nocturne was a particularly outstanding entry in the series because of its presentation and intriguing characters. You’ll also have to fight God or Lucifer and their hordes of demons, depending on the alignment you choose to go with. Developed by the good folks over at our favorite JRPG company Atlus, Shin Megami Tensei was an incredibly dark series of games that often involved our morally ambiguous protagonist having to choose between the forces of Law and Chaos, and killing off some of his friends as consequences of his decision. When it was first released on the PS3, many critics panned Drakengard 3 because of its shoddy framerate, incredibly crude toilet humor, and the lack of explanation as to why Zero wanted to kill her sisters.īefore there was Persona, there was Shin Megami Tensei. Killing enemies soaks Zero in blood and fills up a meter, which allows you to activate Intoner Mode, in which she essentially goes batshit crazy and starts killing enemies at an even faster rate. You have four types of weapons at your disposal, and you can chain combos by swapping between weapons on the fly. She also has a flower growing out of her eyeball. Here’s another action RPG where you take control of Zero, a woman who is hell-bent on murdering her five sisters. Drakengard 3 isn’t quite as dark as the original Drakengard (pedophiles and baby-eaters, anyone?), so even some of the series fans might’ve passed up on it, but hey, just because it’s a little different doesn’t mean it’s bad. The Drakengard series isn’t particularly popular, nor did it exactly make a splash in mainstream media but, like NieR, it’s garnered a bit of a cult following. While we’re on the subject of video games made by Yoko Taro, I thought I’d bring up Drakengard 3 as well.
If you’re an RPG lover, and you enjoy a good story that can make you cry, and you appreciate good music in your games, you’d be remiss to pass up on NieR. You play NieR for its captivating story and phenomenal soundtrack. Every boss feels epic in proportion, and they all come with a slight trick or puzzle that you’ll have to figure out in order to hurt them. While the standard gameplay isn’t terribly exciting, NieR does do a fantastic job with its boss fights. The game is very standard RPG fare you kill enemies, level up, buy weapons, and do fetch quests. In NieR, you take control of a father who travels around the world with a talking book in the hopes of finding a cure to save his terminally ill daughter. NieR is an action RPG with rather mediocre gameplay. While many of NieR’s hardcore fans were left in tears of joy, myself included, I’m sure there was an even larger number of gamers who had never even heard of this game. Square Enix made a small splash at this year’s E3 by announcing a sequel to Cavia’s 2010 project: NieR.
