Panzer Dragoon is a rail shooter following the journey of Keil Fluge (unnamed in localized versions), a member of a hunting party who becomes the rider of a powerful blue dragon and joins it on its mission to stop a rival dragon from wreaking havoc on the world. The player moves an aiming reticle (representing the dragon's laser and the rider's gun) over the screen and shoots enemies while the dragon automatically flies through 3D environments on a predetermined track. As one of the few games available at the Sega Saturn's surprise launch, Panzer Dragoon was the first game created by Team Andromeda. The game also marked the directorial debut of game designer Yukio Futatsugi, who was 25 years old at that time. It is the first game in the Panzer Dragoon series, and introduced the series' gameplay elements and art style. Read less

Playing this as a break from JRPGs and also to prepare myself for a planned first time playthrough of Panzer Dragoon Saga. Not sure that this arcade style of rail shooter holds up as well today, though I think as a game you pick up every once in a while just to see how far you can get it kind of works. I’ve heard Zwei is better but I think this still deserves a fair shake.

Basically Space Harrier and REZ with Dragons! Still feels like a mech game because of everything blowing up and exploding. Beautiful music. Blurry textures on the Saturn make it hard to see enemies. Can't wait to try the remake!!

Enjoying this, nice turn of pace from Resident Evil 2, the last game I finished. The low-res textures can make seeing what's being shot at you a little difficult. I can get to the end of Episode 5 so far. Hoping to complete this tomorrow.

Amazing game with stellar music. Gameplay is pretty cool but your dragon's sorta sluggish movement becomes a bit of a hindrance in the last couple of levels, specially on the final boss. Still, I'd consider this a must play! If only because I heard that the second game is one of the greatest action games ever made!!

Been replaying this one lately, and am starting to really notice just how beautiful this soundtrack is. Seriously give this full OST a listen next time you're doing some busy work for an hour. What a magical game.
