Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Drakengard 2 is a direct sequel to the original Drakengard: the story revolves around Nowe, a boy raised by the dragon Legna, fighting against a tyrannical faction of Knights, encountering characters from the previous game and becoming entangled in the fate of the world.
Like the original, Drakengard 2 combines on-foot hack and slash with aerial combat stages and RPG game mechanics. The previous game's producer, writer and character designer returned to their respective roles. The game was designed as a more mainstream game in light of the previous game's dark aesthetic and story. The game sold 206,000 copies by the end of 2005. Western reviews praised the story, but gave mixed opinions about the graphics and widely criticized the gameplay.Show more

This is one of my favourite games ever made I am just like Manah and my boyfriend is also the New Breed we have to save this dog gone world speak not the watchers am i right gamers
Drakengard 2 may not be as canonically relevant to the NieR series as Drakengard 1 however I think it is worth experiencing especially if you want more story for the characters from the first game, even if they may be flawed.
The gameplay has the same formula but is improved with far better control, more balanced difficulty and a party system which requires you to switch between members to do a different types of damage against enemies.
The soundtrack again is incredible (best version of Growing Wings??) I think the storytelling is a bit clearer and although it doesn't have the same impact of the first game, I think it's worth experiencing afterwards!
I loved the romance between Manah & Nowe. It felt so nice to see Manah achieve a redemption arc & being able to find some semblance of a healthy relationship. What's more, seeing a continuation to my favorite hack-n-slash game was so uplifting.
Fun thing about this game is that you get new endings opened so there is a reason to play again the game. I myself long ago almost cleared the game on hardest difficulty and probably would have got a new ending with it but my little brother as a small kid decided to tamper with my save files and poof. Problem is that I played this game a lot so I didn't have energy to start from very beginning so here's hoping a chance to see it through again on PC and at the final hurdle to get once again poofed save file.
I don't know why people hate this game, when its quality is similar to Drakengard 1 and 3, take that info as you will. The best way to describe this game is Square Enix asking Yoko Taro to not be Yoko Taro.
