The dragon's movement is highly limited here too, in a way that feels much more restrictive than the Star Fox games, and if you're not looking straight forward, you have zero maneuverability, and may very well find yourself running into things while you're otherwise occupied. The difficulty this causes with aiming means that if you're not using lock-on shots you'll want to be firing rapidly to cover more area, but repeatedly tapping the attack button while maintaining aim in this game gets tiresome quickly. Firstly, the reticule that players aim with in this game is not very helpful, placing multiple distracting squares over the battle, but with only one of those squares indicating where you're aiming.
While this all has potential to make for some interesting gameplay, in practice it runs into multiple problems. In addition, players can tap a button to shift their view in one of four primary directions, and using this they must attack oncoming enemies coming from 360 degrees around you. Firstly, players who hold down the fire button can lock onto multiple enemies, firing a homing shot when the button is released. However, Panzer Dragoon differs in a few key ways. In terms of gameplay, Panzer Dragoon has often been compared to the Star Fox series, as it features similar gameplay that has players on a set course with only limited control over their dragon mount. If you're a fan of the original, you'll still find this to be a huge leap forward, just not as much of a leap as you might hope for. by today's standards, even this drastic upgrade is still pretty underwhelming, with chunky character models and animations, and mostly underwhelming environments.
Obviously, we're talking about a game that came out in the early days of polygonal graphics, and what the Nintendo Switch is capable of puts the Sega Saturn to shame. On the one hand, this is a pretty faithful recreation of the original game, even down to its opening cinematic, and compared to the source material, this game looks much better.
When it comes to the presentation, there are two ways you can look at this game. This version of the game reworks the original game's visuals from the ground-up while also offering an alternate control option and a few other modern features. Panzer Dragoon: Remake is, as the name indicates, a remake of the classic Sega Saturn 3D On-Rails Shooter Panzer Dragoon, originally released in 1995.
