Then, there is Mikhail- her “trusty” dragon with the mind of a little child who constantly pisses himself and talks about how everyone should just get along in the midst of a blood bath. She also shared in my distaste for obligatory platforming sections by yelling, “I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT!”. She’s not a particularly happy individual, and is constantly cursing at the various trials that are presented in front of her.Īt some point she causes an avalanche by speaking too loudly in the snowy alps after being warned, and says something along the lines of “pussy snow, I wasn’t even yelling that loud!”.

The heroine of this tragedy is Zero, a crude woman dressed in white who is willing to cut down any and all who stand in her way of killing her five sisters. If there is one definitive similarity between Nier and Drakengard 3 it’s that the best parts of the game are its cast of insane characters and intriguing storyline.

Voice Acting Selection: ENG only standard. It sounded like NieR sometimes and it sounded like past DOD games sometimes.These are your lovely sisters. I can't say I ever felt like DOD3's OST was consistent. Even when there are deviations from the typical music, it still feels like it all belongs to the same album. In the end, both games have OSTs that create one solid and consistent sound. Is it electric rock? Experimental orchestra? Gregorian-esque? Transformational ballads? Of course, it's all of that but it never comes together to feel like one product.Ĭonversely, NieR Gestalt/Replicant really blows any other OST out of the water, though, and NieR Automata is just as beautiful but not as perfect as NieR Gestalt/Replicant. It's frantic which matches the Drakengard/Drag-On Dragoon series but it also means that the OST doesn't know what it is.


Overall, though? It's a very weak OST brought down by the lack of cohesion. There are definitely some amazing stand-outs in DOD3 like Kuroi Uta, Final Song, This Silence is Mine, Descendeus, Aethervox, and of course the iconic Exhausted.
