Mobile Version
Shortly After the Release of the Square Beat-em-up title, Drakengard, they poised their interests to the Mobile (Cellphone Game) division of the the gaming world. Square, begining shortly after their release of their Mobile Division, which inculded only minor Mobile Games such as Braveheart, a Space Shooter. In an attempt to divide their market to a fair audience of the denographic that inculded avid Mobile gamers, they launched Drakengard for the Mobile 'Handheld.' However, their lessing demographic closed their market to the North American Contienent and the Oceania, commonly refered as PAL Territories. Then expanding at the same time to their European venture, which is still active. However, their decision for their closure of service to the North American and Oceania was due to that lack of advanced Mobile services to most of the targeted demographic. Their continued service to the European market continues less then sub-par. Obviously the Drakengard Mobile port had less of a storyline and less chance of gameplay. There where less locations, and gameplay was sub-par. The main focus of the game is not to show the game in a completed form, but to introduce their targeted demographic to the Sony PlayStation 2 Console and to the Drakengard Series. Ultimately, their 'master' plan failed, in result the sales of Drakengard utterly was less than they expected, especially in their comparison to their main role playing game series Final Fantasy. The Mobile port had decent controls, however because of the weak gameplay, the game itself becomes stale. The use of the Red Dragon becomes hard to control and weak controls; even in comparison to Mobile games of that genre. The release of the mobile title, ultimately is pale in comparison to the Original PlayStation 2 Release of Drakengard. In this Mobile version, the underlining storyline is still shown, The battle between the Union and the Empire. However, the game leaves no time for the storyline at large. The ground-based combat is easily comparable to Arcade-style games, while the Airbourne-Red-Dragon missions are in a confronting style similiar to a First Person Shooter, i.e.(Doom). Due to the standards of Mobile service and technology; Nokia, the mobile phone designer is currently the only mobile provider that provides the Drakengard Mobile Version online for download. This inculdes any mobile service provider, and does not limit the model of any Nokia mobile phone that can be used. The recomended Mobile Model is the handheld-mobile phone N-Gage (Which is currently rarely found because of it's overwhelming unpopularity among the demographic population. This Recomenedation was from Square-Enix and Nokia.) Try Drakengard Mobile Free! |
