Sadly, we rarely get to know them as well as we do the disciples, since much of their screen time is fairly short lived. The Intoner sisters themselves are quite a colorful bunch, too. The Intoners are an interesting bunch and at times, you’ll wonder if they’re as bad as our protagonist makes them out to be. In order from left to right, Two, Three, One, Four and Five. In addition to joining Zero in combat, the disciples also fulfill her sexual desires, which apparently comes with the territory for Intoners. These include the sadistic and snarky Dito, the gentleman with a masochistic streak Decadus, the sagacious and incredibly perverted Octa, and the dimwitted and obnoxious Cent. With each sister marked off her hit list, Zero also takes their disciples on as her own.
The game makes it clear that the Intoners have brought peace to the lands after vanquishing the previous lords who ruled, and Zero often sums up her motivations as being the only one who has access to the Intoner’s power. Right from the get-go, you start to question if Zero’s actions are noble, or if she’s just a power hungry murderer. The Five Intoner sisters all rule over different regions of the world, and each of them, with the exception of One, also has a disciple who serves them.ĭrakengard 3 is an odd story to experience. Accompanying Zero on her fratricidal quest is Mikhail, a young and rather naïve dragon who provides Zero with air support and allows her to take to the skies as she searches the world for her sisters. Zero and her sisters, all of whom share numerical names based on the numbers one through five, are all Intoners, demi-god like women who are able to channel incredible power through the use of song. Set some hundred or so years before the events of the first Drakengard, out story follows Zero, a foul-mouthed, irritable and incredibly angry young woman with a parasitic flower on her right eye, on her quest to track down and murder her five sisters.
On the other, combat is fun, most of the characters are interesting, and the story is surprisingly meatier and more thoughtful than its somewhat juvenile first impressions might indicate. On the one hand, the game is an absolute mess on the technical level, its story can’t be fully appreciated without supplementary materials, and its protagonist is incredibly polarizing. Just so we’re clear, I don’t just mean that the game itself is weird, (although it totally is), but also the process of trying to gather my thoughts on the game as a whole has been one of the most vexing and surprisingly difficult things I’ve done in recent memory. To say that Drakengard 3 is one of the strangest games I’ve ever reviewed would be an understatement.
