Bearing in mind this is an action hack 'n' slash title that gives a Ninja Gaiden and Dynasty Warriors feel, slowdown and cut frames in fast-paced combat can be detrimental, and although it isn't unplayable at all, it is apparent. Screen tearing is absolutely everywhere, constantly texturing is of extremely poor standards object pop-ins are noticeable at short distances and, most importantly, the frame rate is bad, causing negative impacts on the fighting experience.

It's a terrible shame, really, because Drakengard 3 had such good potential, but the low production values are immediately clear. Then the gameplay cuts in, and it's all downhill from there.

Opening FMVs can really set the tone for the start of a new game, and hopes were certainly high after sitting back to watch the free-flowing Zero slice and dice her way through soldier after soldier, seemingly enjoying gracefully slaughtering them, their blood splashing over her white dress to cut a sexy and formidable figure.
