I admire a reputation like Panzer Dragoon: Remake. It’s not shy about what it’s, which is a remake of the 1995 Sega Saturn shooter about drago(o)ns. It was introduced for the Nintendo Phabuslate earlier this 12 months, however the builders have discovered the button on their machines that additionally makes it for the PC, so now we’re getting it as nicely.
The proof is right here, on Steam.
Team Andromeda, the unique builders of the game, had been folded into Sega’s company organism many moons in the past, so this model is being dealt with by non-Segas MegaPixel Studio and Forever Entertainment. It’s been *counts on fingers and toes* 24 years for the reason that unique launch, however it’s nonetheless as mid-90s consoley as they arrive. The dragon is dragged alongside a flight-path, with you controlling it simply sufficient to dodge incoming enemies and line up tough combos towards “evil giant dragonflies” and the like. The purpose you’re driving this rattling dragon is to cease one other, angrier dragon from doing dragon issues. As the outdated saying goes, you “bring a dragon to stop a dragon”.
Fun reality: the game’s title was translated to German as a result of “Armored Dragon” was thought-about boring. I can see why they modified it: Panzer Dragoon is a reputation for the AGES.
There are seven games within the Dragoon canoon. Panzer Dragoon II Zwei (there’s that German, once more!) is already confirmed for a remake rejiggerring, so in the event you’re into this it’s best to have extra to sit up for. This explicit one is nebulously scheduled for “winter”, the least dragony of all of the seasons.
