His pact sign is located on his tongue signifying that the price of the pact was his voice. Forever known as the king of the console RPG market, the massive Japanese videogame giant Square Enix appears to be looking to revitalize its placement in other genres with its first 2004 product, Drakengard.Caim is a skilled warrior that is the pact-partner of the red dragon Angelus. Released in Japan to mixed reviews as Drag-On Dragoon last September, this somewhat low-key project from former Namco employees has only just begun to light the fires under the bellies of dedicated Squeenix fans and though it was originally presented as an action/RPG when first announced shortly after the Square Enix merger proclamation of 2002, its role-playing elements and heritage are actually rather slim.Instead, Drakengard is best described as an incredibly faithful combination of KOEI's highly popular Dynasty Warriors franchise and the often overlooked Panzer Dragoon series. Truthfully that initial description should already set off the warning buzzer for players not interested in the aforementioned titles or genres as the problems, idiosyncrasies, and tribulations associated with games such as those are just as present here as they were in its predecessors. But for those of us who enjoy our action a little mindless and our environments a little fantastical, then Drakengard doesn't turn out half bad at all even if it is a bit on the repetitious side. StoryOne of Drakengard's biggest strengths is its richness of storyline. Set in a world where humans and animals can form life pacts to join their souls together as one, the game presents players with a heavy dose of fantasy right from the outset. Despite its world of goblins, fairies, and other such creatures, however, Drakengard also manages to maintain a realistic medieval feel with dark characters and gritty undertones.

#Drakengard 3 caim seriesĪs the plot moves forward, the world and its inhabitants become more and more bizarre with a definite similarity to the equally gloomy series Neon Genesis Evangelion. In fact, Drakengard producer Takamasa Shiba has gone on record by stating that he was heavily influenced by Shinji and company when he first began work on the game a few years ago - a fact that becomes more and more obvious as you progress. When Drakengard first begins the narrative is quite a bit different. Set in the middle of a great conflict between two factions known as the Empire and the Union, the game opens with the seriously angry ex-prince antagonist named Caim. Brother to the goddess princess Furiae, Caim's initial mission is to rescue his sibling from the clutches of the Imperial Guard who has locked her deep within the confines of her own castle. To his credit, Caim does manage to fight his way through the horde of Imperial soldiers to reach the castle gates, but at a serious price - he's on the brink of death.
