Drakengard 3: a Windows port through static recompilation

Drakengard 3 Recompile translates the PS3 release of Drakengard 3 into native Windows x64 code and replaces platform services in a local runtime. It targets NPUB31251 version 1.01 and builds from the user's game files; the author reports intro, audio, menu and story-scene milestones, with controlled gameplay still unconfirmed.
