Item Description

A hunter caught in a battle between two dragons, a dying rider and a blue dragon that chooses a new partner: Panzer Dragoon opens like a legend, and it plays like nothing else from the dawn of 32-bit gaming. When the Sega Saturn made its surprise North American launch in 1995, this was one of the few games on store shelves, and it gave early owners an instant reason to believe in the new machine.

The dragon flies automatically along a set path through vast 3D landscapes, while you control the aim. Hold the button and sweep the reticle across the sky to lock on to several enemies at once, then release to unleash a volley of homing lasers, or tap for the rider's rapid-fire gun. The real trick is the view: you can turn to the sides and rear at any moment, and enemies come from every angle, so survival depends on knowing when to look behind you as much as how well you aim. Boss fights against enormous airships and creatures make full use of that 360-degree awareness.

What made Panzer Dragoon unforgettable was its world. The ruined, half-buried civilization, the bio-engineered creatures and the oppressive Empire feel like a lost science-fiction epic, and the characters speak an invented language that makes the setting feel strange and ancient. The Japanese release featured artwork by the French comics legend Moebius, and Yoshitaka Azuma's sweeping orchestral score gives every flight a cinematic scale.

It was the first game from Sega's Team Andromeda and the directorial debut of Yukio Futatsugi, who was just 25 at the time. It introduced the gameplay and art style that carried through Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, the RPG Panzer Dragoon Saga and, later, Panzer Dragoon Orta on Xbox. This first flight, on the hardware it was made for, is where the world of Panzer Dragoon began.

About the game

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.
