It’s quite dated by today’s standards, but given as a throwback to a long lost genre of the arcade days “Panzer Dragoon Remake” is a brief, but enjoyable recreation of a very special series birth.

Never played the original so this remake is all I know about the game... and the series by extension. I enjoyed what I played but I thought it was pretty short and underwhelming in some areas. Like I thought the final boss was going to have another phase once he turned into a dragoon, but then he just stopped flying and fell into the ocean. I don't know what this remake got wrong or right but apparently people don't like it very much. But while the visuals definitely aren't the most impressive ever, a lot of the problems seem to stem from the source material rather than the remake. It's a fun and short campaign but far from the most exciting rail-shooter ever made - and that likely extends to the original game as well.

Panzer Dragoon is a classic on the Saturn. You can't underestimate the impact the game had back in 1995.

This remake, however, brings nothing new apart from redone graphics and new gameplay options. The game itself is very short. You can finish it in an hour, depending on your skill or the difficulty level you select.

Why did someone add an achievement to play for 100 hours in a game that takes an hour to finish? Not bad for nostalgia's sake though

I get it, I really do... but still. I can understand why this can be seen as a classic 30 years ago but today... No, not really. I am happy that I paid 2 pounds for 30 minutes game, otherwise I would have been pretty disappointed. And that 100 hours trophy. Why?! I am sure that even the die hard fans will not replay the game nearly 200 times to get it without leaving the console running by itself :D

It doesn´t matter what I'm going to say, they will never remake SAGA
