❤ Gameplay Overview

The remake faithfully recreates the original 1995 rail shooter's core gameplay. Players control a dragon that automatically moves forward through on-rails levels, with the player responsible for aiming and shooting at enemies and obstacles. Mastering the unique control scheme is essential to success.

❤ Lock-On Targeting

One standout feature is the "lock-on" targeting system. Players can lock onto multiple enemies at once, unleashing a volley of homing projectiles to quickly dispatch groups. Carefully selecting and targeting enemies in an efficient manner is crucial.

❤ 360-Degree Shooting

Players can rotate the camera 360 degrees around the dragon, allowing them to attack enemies approaching from any direction. Maintaining awareness of threats from all sides and mastering this camera control is vital.

❤ Responsive Controls

Reviewers praise the responsive and intuitive control scheme, which enables precise aiming and maneuvering of the dragon. Compared to the original's somewhat stiff controls, the remake offers a more fluid and modern control experience. Players can choose between gamepad or mouse/keyboard controls.

❤ Difficulty and Challenge

While the original was known for high difficulty, the remake has been tuned for more accessibility. Many note it is significantly easier than the Saturn version, allowing less experienced players to complete the game. However, the gameplay still presents a decent challenge, especially for those seeking to master the combat mechanics.

❤ Replay Value and Secrets

Despite the game's relatively short length, it includes optional mission routes and hidden secrets to discover, encouraging repeated playthroughs to improve skills and high-score performance.
