Weapons gain experience levels through use, dealing more damage as a result. Each has a four-level cap. The player can access up to eight weapons during a mission.
The player can also temporarily switch between Caim and an assigned ally, who shares similar attacks but deals more damage. In aerial combat missions, players control Caim's dragon partner Angelus. During these moments, players are directed against multiple aerial targets that must be destroyed in order to win.
As Angelus gains experience points through combat, she levels up and is able to do more damage — similar to the weapons used in ground-based combat.
Boss battles are all located in these aerial stages. Homing shots can be dodged or countered by some enemy types later in the game. She can be used to quickly traverse battle areas during primarily ground-based missions. Controls are identical to ground-based combat. Pressing the select button causes Caim to dismount Angelus. Players can navigate the game world and select missions via a world map accessed between levels.
While playing, a mini-map allows the player to see enemy locations, and a full-screen map can be switched to that covers the entire area and shows mission objectives. The game features five endings: the normal ending and four additional endings which are unlocked when certain conditions are met, such as completing optional chapters or obtaining powerful weapons.

The world of Drakengard is as fascinating as its dark and mature. Set in a land known as Midgar, Drakengard has the player defending the Seals: instruments of the Goddess of the Seal that keep the world from falling into chaos.
There are five different endings to be found in Drakengard. However, the combat can get repetitive after a while, a fact that makes playing through the game more than once feel slower than it actually is. Another point where we feel the game can be somewhat divisive is its soundtrack; while some players might enjoy the experimental-sounding tracks, it can quickly get on your nerves during long gameplay sessions.
What do you get when you combine the awesome fury of a Dragon with the mass slaughter gameplay personified by Dynasty Warriors?
A fairly kick-ass game, that's what. Drakengard , one of the latest titles from Square-Enix, provides just such gameplay opportunities. You take on the role of Caim, a powerful warrior fighting to protect his sister Furiae, known as the Goddess, from capture and harm. Aiding him in this role is a mighty dragon, bonded to him in an ancient and powerful pact. Thus you set the stage for history, thus you set the stage for conflict.
Similar at first to Dynasty Warriors, prepare to deal with hordes of enemy foes dealing out basic combos left and right, with very little variation in the overall control scheme. At first, with only one character to choose from, and a simple weapon that only hits three times in a single combo, you'll be asking yourself, where's the fun?
Once you slog through the first level however, you'll see the beauty of the game's mechanic. First and foremost, the game's experience curve gives you more than enough power in any given scenario, as long as you can develop your strategy. As you pickup new weapons some 65 in all and they increase in power by defeating enemies you'll see the combo strings leap into the double digits. Additionally, each weapon comes packed with a special magical attack.
Featuring a timed charge attack during any given combo, it's readily apparent that one can kick some serious booty after just a short amount of practice.
Dragon combat only gets slightly cooler, giving you access to a new flight sim style mode that's challenging but also very destructive.
When you're in a normal ground combat, you can also leap onto the dragon's back to torch the enemies with a single explosive fireball or unleash serious destruction upon the baddies with a torrent of dragonsbreath. In the other areas of the game, Drakengard doesn't prove to be quite as hot. Graphically speaking, this game doesn't have the detailed backgrounds that prevent you from noticing how short the viewable distance is.
