Drakengard

As the game begins, Cain is fatally wounded in a battle with the Empire.

Encountering a captured Red Dragon who is also near death, Caim makes a fateful choice.

In exchange for both their lives, the Red Dragon and Caim will enter a pact.

The player controls Caim on his quest.

The game is separated into three distinct modes: Aerial combat, Ground combat and Event Combat.

In Aerial Combat, Caim rides dragonback against a variety of airborne foes breathing fireballs (strong single shots and weaker multiple lock-on shots).

The Dragon is agile and is able to evade incoming threats, turning around completely in a moment.

In Ground combat, the game is shown in 3rd person though usually large, open areas.

Controlling Caim, his primary ability is the use of a variety of weapons found on the battlefield.

These are leveled up through continued usage, and specifically through the killing of individual enemies.

Drakengard for PlayStation 2 is currently worth €70.25 loose, €29.04 complete in box, and €74.92 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Drakengard, loose is €70.25 and CIB is €29.04 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Drakengard is currently worth €70.25 loose, versus €64.88 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
