✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, fantasy world and single-player focus

≠ Where it differs: brings action RPG combat, shooter and third-person shooting, while skipping procedural generation

The largest of the three by scale: kaiju summons fight alongside you and levels open up considerably. Core combat is as sharp as ever when the game lets you use it. That is the issue — demon sequences, side characters and setpiece variety cut into the moment-to-moment fighting, and the story is the weakest of the series.

Released 20 years after Dark Cloud 2.
