I've just realised Drakengard also references Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné novels, namely with the characters of Arioch and Verdelet.
In the novels, Arioch is Elric's patron chaos deity, Verdelet is a throwaway reference in one spell invocation. |
i'd say we need a good Elric game except i don't think we need any more games about albinos with soul-stealing swords

I think I want to change my answer to fairly obscure Treasure game "FreakOut" (Stretch Panic in the US), in which you play as a young girl by the name of Linda, who plays the Cinderella to her twelve sisters who were apparently pretty nice people until they suddenly became beauty-obsessed narcissists. As the story goes, one day a mysterious truck nearly kills our young protagonist as she makes her way home one day from shopping for creams and lotions and such rubbish, then goes on to quickly deliver a package to her sisters. It turns out to be a magic doorway that leads to a demonic realm, where they are possessed by demons that transform each of them into their image of perfection. When Linda arrives home, the door mocks her and dares her to rescue her sisters, which makes her dive through the door to the rescue, upon which her tatty old scarf then her Dad gave her and that she always wears because wub is possessed by a demon that can stretch and deform the physical form of, erm, apparently anything. LINDA TO THE RESCUE~
Here's a poor quality video that I managed to find on YouTube! You damage enemies by pinching their weak spot with the scarf, then stretching and snapping it. You use the right stick to move the scarf around the screen, and R1 sends it forward where it will automatically pinch anything it comes into contact with.
It's essentially a boss rush with delays, meaning the game makes you leap into small worlds inhabited by 'Boniita', which are young women who "...wished that a certain part of their body was augmented." You kill these young ladies by pinching their bottoms and in turn earn points, which are used to access boss fights.
It's creepy. |
i bought this because it was Treasure but traded it in because it was crappy and dreepy. you can find copies in aus now. the mechanics are really irritating but they could have been something great. i think they were meant to be used in a Tiny Toons game
would i be boring if i said Killer7 was really fucked up? _________________ Someday somethings coming
