It's a good thing that the game actively switches up between on-foot missions, aerial missions, and story sequences, or else it would get unbearably repetitive. The twist is that many of these missions optionally permit Caim to hop onto or off of his dragon at any time, and his dragon can not only lay waste to many types of enemies faster than Caim can, but she also moves much faster than Caim. You'll spend a majority of your time playing Drakengard in such sequences, which are clearly reminiscent of Koei's popular Dynasty Warriors series in how they let you easily cut your way through entire armies. You'll control Caim from a third-person perspective as he runs around vast, flat, wide-open environments slaying everyone in his path. Missions come in three varieties-or, rather, more like two and a half. The game isn't particularly long from start to finish (15 hours or so), but it feels rather drawn out, simply because there's little variety to it. This is a single-player game, the brunt of which is contained in a linear campaign spanning a series of chapters, each of which contains multiple stages, or "verses." Some stages are short, lasting just a few minutes' worth of carnage, while others are much longer and can take nearly an hour.
Be that as it may, Drakengard boils down to Caim and his dragon companion blazing through droves of enemies. Specifically, his priority throughout much of the game will be to defend his sister, who is apparently a goddess, from harm. Now, with this dragon's aid, Caim must defeat the Empire once and for all. They perform a ritual, simply called a "pact," which restores them to health but ties their spirits to each other. Though Caim has no fondness for such creatures, the two realize that they are each other's only hope for survival. As fate would have it, he happens upon a dying red dragon in the midst of all the carnage. Early on in the game, Caim sustains a mortal injury while defending his homeland against the Empire's advances. The story of Drakengard focuses on Caim (which rhymes with "time"), who is an embittered young warrior who fights for the Union against the powerful threat known as the Empire.
