help Panzer Dragoon Saga FAQ
What console was Panzer Dragoon Saga released on?
Panzer Dragoon Saga, known in Japan as Azel: Panzer Dragoon RPG, was released exclusively for the Sega Saturn in 1998. It was developed by Team Andromeda, an internal studio at Sega, during the final days of the console's lifespan.
Why is Panzer Dragoon Saga so expensive and rare?
The game was released in very limited quantities in North America and Europe because the Sega Saturn was nearing the end of its commercial life. Sega only produced an estimated 6,000 to 30,000 copies for the western release, making it one of the most sought-after and expensive retro games on the secondary market.
How does the combat system work in Panzer Dragoon Saga?
Unlike the previous games in the series which were rail shooters, Saga features a unique real-time combat system. Players fly their dragon around enemies on a 3D grid, strategically positioning themselves in "blind spots" to avoid attacks while waiting for their action points to charge.
Who is the main character in Panzer Dragoon Saga?
The protagonist is a young mercenary named Edge, who is guarding an ancient excavation site when his team is betrayed and wiped out. He is rescued by a dragon and sets out on a quest for revenge against the mysterious antagonist, Crayden.
