About Panzer Dragoon II Zwei: Remake
The classic title is developed by MegaPixel Studio and published by Forever Entertainment. The original Panzer Dragoon Remake was released on the Nintendo Switch in 2019 and is available right now on the Nintendo Switch eShop now.
Panzer Dragoon II Zwei is a 1996 rail shooter game for the Sega Saturn, published by Sega and developed by Sega’s Team Andromeda studio. It is the second Panzer Dragoon game, and a prequel to the first game. The game follows Jean-Luc Lundi, who raises and later rides a dragon he names Lagi.
The player moves an aiming reticle (representing the dragon’s laser and Lundi’s gun) and shoots enemies while the dragon flies or runs through 3D environments on predetermined tracks.
Zwei began development in early 1995 alongside Panzer Dragoon Saga (1998), with a staff of twenty people and little assistance from Sega. In response to player criticism, the team lowered the overall difficulty and expanded the story elements. The music, composed by Yayoi Wachi, would go on to influence the musical direction of later entries.
Panzer Dragoon II Zwei released to positive reviews from journalists, with many praising it as superior to the original Panzer Dragoon in its gameplay, graphics and narrative.
