Panzer Dragoon

Synopsis

by Jonathan Sutyak

After your countryland was destroyed by a giant airship from beyond, the only thing left to do is hop on the back of a renegade dragon and shoot your way to your ultimate vengeance. Boasting a wide variety of explorable environments, Panzer Dragoon transports you through ancient ruins, dark and eerie caves, and surreal landscapes. The music should be as awe-inspiring as the surroundings as several tracks were performed by the Israeli Symphony Orchestra.

Action can be viewed from three different perspectives: first-person, a third-person large view of the dragon, and a third-person small view of the dragon. Players will fend off enemies with 360 degrees of aiming ability. Hold down the fire button to "lock on" to multiple enemies, then release the key to let loose a display of guided dragonfire. Panzer Dragoon uses a 3D graphics engine and features art direction similar to the works of Moebius.

Extra Credits

by Colin Williamson

Panzer Dragoon is a very original title. While many shooters have existed previous to this one, rarely do you come across one that uses something other than a ship of some sort when you are flying.
