I think people forget on why aiming is tied to the movement. With the limitation, you had to choose between shooting the enemy and dodging them. If the reticle is seperate from movement, you could keep shooting and dodge no matter what. It's the main reason why star fox was so fun to play

This game is currently on sale for $2.50 in the American Nintendo eShop -- totally worth it.

I bought this and enjoyed playing the first couple of levels. Cracking little game. I think it’s more for retro fans than bringing new fans in as it’s a bit stale presentation wise. I’d have kept this in the oven a bit longer but it’s nice to see the devs are taking all advice onboard for updates. Always good to see fellow devs adapt their stuff for market.

Honestly i'm glad it exists and that i can play it on my switch. I do fall into the nostalgia camp though, with the original pc port being a large part of my childhood.

It is on sale today, only around $6 now on eshop :D

Specifically, dragoons were traditionally not true cavalry, but heavy "mounted infantry", meaning that they would ride to battle but would dismount to fight. They were used as shock troops that could deploy faster than conventional infantry and were generally more heavily armed/armored.

Those square reticles remind me of an old playstation.

Panzer Dragon 2 is much better. I hope they eventually also make Panzer Dragon Saga. One of the best RPGs of a generation that few people got to play

I like this remake. I played it and it's just like the original, which has it's pros and cons. It's a fun shooter but I think they could have tweaked the controls for today's standards, like faster camera movement when turning directions. That delay is annoying af. It's one thing to play strategically when with the enemies, but not with the camera. Anyways, I'm really happy this was remade, however, I'm waiting for Panzer Dragoon II Zwei. That one is by far the superior one. I literally spent years playing that game. Other mechanics were added like evolving your dragon and berserk mode, not to mention the OST by Saori Kobayashi is EPIC. I heard they're making it and I cannot wait. Big shout out to Forever Entertainment S. A.!! Thank you for resurrecting some of my best gaming years.

Oh Alex, we're gonna fall out! :P :D I am a proud owner of the original Pander Dragoon on the Saturn and you dissing this game brought a tear to my nostalgic eye.. nah, I totally agree with what you said. I naturally bought this version and I like the new graphics, but it doesn't feel as exciting as the original or quite as polished as you say.

[ElricSowrd]

My only disappoint that there's no 60 Frames PerSeconds. Even for a Modern Remake.

[jeangabrielcotto]

I personally love the remake, I still own the original saturn one, loved that one, and this one just brought a new life to it

[snook]

I would love a remake of the RPG Panzer Dragoon Saga

[jamesmccloud]

I want this because I'm starved for star fox 64 type gameplay

[bernard]

i think they should have remade the 2nd game and have the remaster come out as a bundle (and also dont need to rush development!) Overall I grew up with this series thanks to my brother so I absolutely adore it and will still purchase. I wish it wasn't 30 bucks for just 1.

[nunyabuisness]

I just bought it on eshop for 2.50$ USD 😁

I recently bought Panzer Dragoon
And afterwards felt like a loon.
It isn't very pretty
Oh, what a pity,
But at least I still have Doom.

If this remake includes the original game as a bonus, then the remake's price would be a little bit more justified. I say little bit. If it does include it, I would say it's worth at least 10-15

[TheLonelyGoomba]

I'd wanna play it but yeah...too expensive.

I always thought the BotW Story Trailer Theme sounded like the Panzer Dragoon music
