ZeroвЂ™s allies are foulmouthed, perverted, and extremely respectful of her capacity to shut them up. For example, when Zero causes an avalanche by yelling in the mountains, the вЂњGame OverвЂќ screen appears, and she proceeds to shatter it while screaming вЂњI decide when it ends!вЂќ There is a five-minutes-of-barely-uninterrupted-silence gag (think early Adult Swim) in which the supporting characters keep nervously trying to get Zero to stop. The dialogue sounds like the most hateful and inappropriate Saturday morning cartoon ever produced.

Games are fun, but they are also frustrating, repetitive, and full of annoying fetch quests, and Zero hates all of this as much as you do.ДЄs strange and dark as the story is, whatвЂ™s stranger and darker is the gameвЂ™s humor, specifically how grotesquely discordant the humor is with the gameвЂ™s violence and atrocity.

ZeroвЂ™s baseline behavior and actions convey the exact degree of annoyance, contempt, and violence of a person playing a videogame. Her quest is to kill all five of her sisters, who are responsible for keeping peace in the world Zero does this for seemingly no other reason than to be the only one left. She has no compunctions about killing, except for her irritation at the stubbornness with which her cannon fodder enemies cling to life. Despite her cute outfit and demure appearance, she seems like the sort of someone who is willing and able to kill the thousands of people required for the completion of a videogame. Zero is name of the heroine, and she does not have the personality of a heroine whatsoever. Without a dash dodge and a block/parry, I would merely be mashing the attack button for 13 hours, which would quickly become boring to anyone, even if you are as violent and sociopathic as the protagonist of this game. ItвЂ™s the moving around and the blocking that make me feel like pushing buttons in the game matters-that I can notice when enemies are attacking and do something about it. The most important thing a game can give me so that I can feel like I am in control of a situation is not just a ridiculous number of weapons to hit people with (it is just too easy to give the players something big and slicey). Yet the game is very competent at being a fun time when it comes to beating up tons of enemies. The visuals slow down and stutter when the screen is too crowded. At times, allies and enemies run desperately into walls. The tone of Drakengard 3 is kind of вЂњfuck videogames,вЂќ but also kind of вЂњvideogames are great.вЂќ Despite its janky production values and frequent bugs, itвЂ™s as fun a Devil May Cry as youвЂ™d like with a story that is ends up being every bit as clever as it starts off being stupid.

Low budget, weird humor, and surprisingly well-made are hallmarks of the remnants of Cavia, the company that made the first two Drakengard games, the recent cult hit Neir, and a host of low budget licensed games much better than they reasonably should have been. Rather, Drakengard 3 is endearingly awful, with bizarre, out-of-place humor, extreme violence, and, when you least expect it, wrenching sincerity. ItвЂ™s not Duke Nukem, wallowing in the worst of games without a second thought, nor is it Spec Ops: The Line, a critique of games that conveniently passes over its own complicity.

Drakengard is wretched, trashy, and totally amazing, the pinnacle of a B movie of videogames from budget to dialogue to mechanics.
