Summary
Drakengard 2 is a role-playing action game featuring knights and dragons that builds on the scenario of the original Drakengard title, brought to us by the role-playing geniuses at Japanese uber-publisher, Square Enix (they of Final Fantasy fame).
Drakengard 2 was released in Japan last June and became an immediate success, topping the Japanese sales charts and selling more than 100,000 copies in its first week of release. So it is bound to be a hit with
The game’s storyline is that it has been more than 18 years since the world-shattering events of the original Drakengard game, and the Union has once again appeared, in the guise of a group known as the Knights of the Seal. It appears that the world has found peace, but it is a deceptive peace. Behind the scenes, thousands of powerless people are trampled in the name of the evil Seal.
In the game you play the young hero Nowe, a man raised by a dragon and taken in by the Knights of the Seal. Nowe has flown the skies on his dragon mount, his sword drawn, all in the name of the Order. Your somewhat unusual upbringing and skills as a swordsman have earned you something of a reputation amongst your fellow knights.
Nowe’s destiny changes forever when you meet a certain young woman. Manah has chosen to protect the world by making the world itself her enemy. Together, Manah and Nowe join forces to take on the Knights of the Seal and their legions of warriors in a quest for a true peace.
