I found out “A” allows you to lock on to enemies and shoot them down, and it wasn’t until the end of the fifth level, when I kept dying to the boss, that I discovered that “B” is also a shoot button, which doesn’t lock on and instead shoots where the sight is aimed.

You are flung into battle on the back of a dragon, and there are absolutely no clues as to what you are supposed to do. Now, the first thing that I have to mention is the tutorial, or lack thereof. This intro is way too long for its own good, and appears to be rendered in the original game’s engine, as the animation and look of the cutscene is extremely retro, and had me flashing back to the ’90s.

This man then promptly pops his clogs, and our hero takes his place on the back of the dragon. Luckily, the roof falls on the creature, squishing it, and our hero runs outside to meet a man on a blue dragon. Chasing after them, he seems to startle some scorpion-looking things, which he proceeds to chase into a cave before being attacked by a large creature. The game starts out a little mysteriously, seeing our hero riding what appears to be a dinosaur through a canyon, before he spies some battleship/hot air balloons in the sky. Continuing the fashion for game remakes that has seen recent entries such as the likes of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, Panzer Dragoon has now been updated and dragged, kicking and screaming, into the modern generation.
