But the most interesting aspect of intoner mode is the change in background music, as you can hear singing (which is the base of their powers) along with a change in rhythm.
DRAKENGARD 3 DLC CHEST LOCATIONS FULL
For example, the gauge is filled with the spilled blood of the enemies until it gets full and the character is gradually soaked in said blood, and after using it, her clothes are clean again. It is a rage mode in the surface, but it has some fine details. One last thing I would like to mention about the gameplay is the Intoner Mode. The only portion of the game that felt like drakengard fully to its core is Two's Prologue, which shows how the Intoners' powers can be terrifying and dangerous even when used with good intentions, and the homunculus' battle to the sound of crying children, as well as Two break down and crying at the end give me the chills even today. And after that the same sex jokes again and again. It is really strange to be a veteran of drakengard 1 and 2, and after defeting Phanuel, getting that censored screen. That said, Drakengard 3's humor is strange and out of place almost the entire time.

Drakengard 1 had none, as far as I remember, 2 had some entertaining conversations between Legna and Nowe, and the banter between Grimoire Weiss and the other characters in Nier were absolutely amazing (I am mentioning Nier here because it was released before Drakengard 3). And lastly, I agree with you comic relief can be good sometimes. As for gameplay, there were two things that really disappointed me: the aerial combat being separated and simplified, and where the hell is the magic? Magic was one of my favorite aspects of drakengard 1 and 2, it helped to change the combat pace sometimes, and could be really fun, like Manah's spells from 2, they were real crowd killers. The plot pacing is terrible, as you said it yourself, you spend so much time only fighting and running through corridors for hours to have story development for a few minutes each time. The characters could be really good but most of them came out as bland, except maybe for Zero (I think her murder tendencies would make her and Caim go along so well 😆). They could be more straightforward with the flower's history and give more detailed information on the creation of the cult of the watchers, not even Shi Ni Itaru Aka gives much information about it. I think drakengard 3 is also a wasted potential. Just like the other two, a very detailed and on point analysis.
