This final battle in the skies of Tokyo leads to the apocalypse seen in the original NieR Replicant, and basically sets the stage for the entire series.ĭespite starting off as a modern albeit post-apocalyptic take on the real world, NieR Replicant quickly course-corrects into a fantasy game once the main quest begins. In Ending E of Drakengard specifically, Caim and Angelus find themselves in an alternate universe, namely in the middle of Tokyo. The story is about a warrior named Caim who makes a pact with a dragon called Angelus to defeat an evil empire. NieR: Automata fans are probably familiar with series director Yoko Taro’s love for multiple endings in his video games.ĭrakengard is a fantasy action RPG, with a gameplay style reminiscent of Dynasty Warriors with 3D shoot ‘em up elements.
The entire NieR series stems from one of the endings of the first Drakengard game.
It sounded like NieR sometimes and it sounded like past DOD games sometimes.So how do all these games even intersect with one another? Let’s find out. 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.
