Panzer Dragoon: Remake is a remade version of the first Panzer Dragoon game, but one that’s true to the original, albeit with improved graphics and controls – just to ensure it lives up to the standards of modern gaming.

Attacks can come from all angles, so you’ll need to make good use of the 360-degree controls. Expect to blast evil giant dragonflies, frightening man-sized wasps, giant sandworms, and even lethal flying battleships as you traverse vast blue oceans and fly through subterranean ruins.
