Six months after launching in Japan, the Square Enix hack-and-slash is now in NA.

Anti-hero, hack-and-slash action fueled by blood.

Drakengard 3 is now available in North America, exclusive on PS3 and coming six months after its initial Japanese launch. The game has been received well overall, with good reviews from Japanese outlets Famitsu (9/9/8/8) and Dengeki PlayStation (100/90/85/95).

Made by Square Enix, Drakengard 3 is a prequel to the original game. Where does the game begin? "Six goddess-like sisters known as 'Intoners' undo the peace they brought to the land as the eldest sister, Zero, undertakes a murderous campaign to destroy her younger siblings."

The game is available now for $50 in stores or as a digital download. A $65 Digital Collector's Edition includes "One's Prologue, Japanese Voice Pack, the NIER Costume Pack, Mikhail’s (the dragon) Giant Baby Hat, Caim's Garb, and six PlayStation® Network themes."
