It was Shiba's first project as a producer. Takamasa Shiba and Takuya Iwasaki conceived the game as a hybrid between the popular Dynasty Warriors series and Namco's aerial combat game Ace Combat. Wounded in battle while protecting his sister Furiae, he is forced to make a pact with a red dragon named Angelus as they journey together on a quest to prevent the Empire from destroying magical seals that keep the world in balance. The player controls Caim, a deposed prince of the Union, in his quest for vengeance against the Empire. The story is set during a religious war between two factions-the Union and the Empire-with the war tipping in favor of the Empire. The game is the first installment of the Drakengard series and features a mixture of ground-based hack-and-slash, aerial combat, and role-playing elements which have become a staple of the series.

Eir Aoi’s beautiful vocals create a peaceful and pleasant feeling.Drakengard, known in Japan as Drag-On Dragoon, is a 2003 action role-playing video game developed by Cavia and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2. “Black Song” is my personal favorite from the soundtrack because of its beauty and the way how it incredibly blooms into a flower in the middle of the song. This way I want to show you the diverse side of Drakengard 3 soundtrack. I chose four different songs from the soundtrack – two songs from each disc. This soundtrack isn’t shamed to impress you – it’s here to kick you in the balls when you least expect that to happen. Still, Drakengard 3 managed to overcome my expectations and provide something totally different than I expected it to be. That is quite funny since high quality and well-produced soundtracks are more than a standard to Square Enix who is known from having industry topping soundtracks for their games.

The game is set to be released in 2014 in Europe and North America but that didn’t stop me getting my hands on the soundtrack.Īnd what happened once I started to listen to the music and heard most of the tracks? I was absolutely impressed by the soundtrack. The soundtrack is produced by Monaca that includes the composers, Keiichi Okabe, Keigo Hoashi, Kakeru Ishihama and Kuniyuki Takahashi. This week I got a chance to listen to the music from Drakengard.
