The game is the first installment of the Drakengard series and features a mixture of ground-based hack-and-slash, aerial combat, and role-playing elements which have become a staple of the series. The story is set during a religious war between two factions—the Union and the Empire—with the war tipping in favor of the Empire. The player controls Caim, a deposed prince of the Union, in his quest for vengeance against the Empire. Wounded in battle while protecting his sister Furiae, he is forced to make a pact with a red dragon named Angelus. As they journey together, they join with Hierarch Verdelet on a quest to prevent the Empire from destroying magical seals that keep the world in balance: Furiae acts as the central seal, and her death will drop the world into chaos.

|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.30, Initially the game started off really slow. Frame rates didn't go higher than 40 FPS during the very first cutscene (which was basically nothing but a text screen with a voice-over), that even dipped down to 10 FPS. Once the first level loaded, the FPS went up again to near stable 60 FPS. (It was fluctuating between 58~60). I can't say for sure what caused the bad performance during that first cutscene. Other than that, I have yet to notice any major issues.
