Drakengard 3’s Weapon Switching System In Action

Zero, the heroine (antagonist?) in Drakengard 3, is armed with a sword, spear, chakram, and claws. Players can switch weapons in battle and as seen in this livestream, each weapon is assigned to a different face button. Zero also has different combos assigned to each weapon.

The chakram has a lot of horizontal range but doesn’t deal as much damage. The sword that Zero switches to shaves more HP off enemies. Zero isn’t alone in the game, she has two companions traveling with her. Access Games, the developers behind Deadly Premonition and Lord of Apocalypse, are developing Drakengard 3 and they added more platforming elements. Good thing Zero has an air dash!
