    Short but sweet! Great job on Team Andromeda's world design. And it's much sweeter seeing that the physical cart by Limited Run has the patches, so the lock on controls are much tighter, now very close to the original. Can't wait for Panzer Dragoon 2. Now we just need to professionally beg (Operation Rainfall style), and get Sega & MegaPixel to remake/remaster Panzer Dragoon Saga. We NEEDShort but sweet! Great job on Team Andromeda's world design.

    The triumphant return of one of the most underrated franchises in video games. A classic that reinvents itself in an exquisite, fluid remake, and that perfectly translates the equally underrated genre of Shoot em up.

    You NEED to buy this game!

    Beautiful remake. And the remastered music just released in the patch. Spot on! Beautiful. The whole package is a work of art. Worth it for the soundtrack alone!

    Fantastic remake. The game is short, but otherwise it's a small masterpiece. Looking forward to Panzer Dragoon 2 and one day - SAGA ;)

    A very good remake that fans of the series will appreciate. New players should, however, try it before buying it because the arcade and old-school gameplay is not for players who cannot be satisfied with a simple but very fun style. Beautiful, good grip, great music and magnificent atmosphere, Panzer Dragoon remains a reference in its genre of play.

    Damn It's absolutely awesome! It's gorgeous!! Is a masterpiece! The design, the music, the story. It should not be missed. Playing through this game from start to finish is like a finely crafted piece of art. It's an experience comparable to listening your favourite album of all time!

    The game is like the one of my childhood, it started to bring back so much memories, there are still little details that needs polishing but the essence of the original game is here and that's i was waiting for.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a fan of the entire Panzer Series, this remake was breathtaking in every regard. All the visuals, the design changes, the gameplay, everything about it was buttery smooth and exactly what I would have wanted in a remake of this classic.
    You can really feel the love and care the people working on the game had while putting it together, and it shines through every moment of playing.
    This is a must buy for classic Sega fans, and when the Sequel Remake comes out, I’m sure that will be too. 10/10, no other option    … Expand

    Superb graphics, beautiful music, great overall impression. It has a few drawbacks, which I am sure are going to be changed with the nearest patch. The community of PD is great and thankfully Forever Entertainment dev team listens to us. Good job!

    A stunning remake of a good classic. Graphics are top-notch, control is floaty, but also satisfying and gameplay is buttery smooth and fun to get into. Definitely a fantastic shooter to kill time with during this time of quarantine.

    Es una gran adaptacion del clasico de Sega. Se echa en falta mas modos de juego y estar un poco mas pulido pero tiene toda la esencia del original.

    A very fun adventure through a world built by a Dev team who truly cared about the original game.
    While not the longest game, it’s fun throughout, and a throughly enjoyable time. Would highly recommend to fans of Sega Classics

    We can argue about the artistic choices the team has taken, but they are in general for the better. It feels old and new at the same time.

    At a cheaper price this could be recommended for a quick Sunday afternoon stroll, especially for anyone nostalgic of the original title. A nifty touch would have been to include the original game as an unlockable, which would at least help sweeten the fact that this can be completed within an hour or two. Despite its abundant and underwhelming flaws, Panzer Dragoon: Remake is still a piece of gaming history that deserves to be played, and shooting down waves of enemies does still prove to be satisfying.

    Hopefully the first footstep (or in this case, wingflap) toward flying back into the larger Panzer Dragoon world. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 29]

    Panzer Dragoon: Remake won’t be for everyone. I never played the original game, but I have a basic knowledge of the franchise. It looked familiar to a personal favourite of mine, Star Fox, but unfortunately, Panzer Dragoon was nowhere near as enjoyable. It simply lacks a lot of the fun touches and personality that make the Star Fox franchise so good. Panzer Dragoon does have some fun moments and some of the visuals are quite impressive. I didn’t care much for the story and the game is quite short. If you were a fan of the original, nostalgia alone might be enough to make the purchase. It’s worth noting that a remake of the sequel is already in development, so if you do enjoy Panzer Dragoon: Remake, you’ll have something more to look forward to.
