Overview:

Man this story makes no sense in the Remake.  Maybe it’s because, back then, anytime we saw an FMV we were just immediately awed.  Now, we can’t tell if something is FMV or gameplay but it all just seems uninteresting.  I think there is a civil war happening in some kingdom and it’s up to me to stop them.  Me and MY TRUST DRAGON!  This is a rail shooter with you targeting enemies and then blasting them with a super shot.  Enemies are all over you so you have to adjust your view to your cardinal directions to make sure you take them all out.

Visuals:

Ugly.  This game just looks so ugly.  The original one on the Sega Saturn was a powerhouse for that system showing that it could compete with the Sony PlayStation but, here, it just looks like trash.  Everything just has no character and looks so generic.  The enemies are bland.  The main character and your dragon look hella bland.  The world just looks uber bland.  As said in the hit sitcom of the 90’s, My Brother and Me, it’s not ugly it’s OOGLY!

Audio:

Same with the audio on here.  The remastered tracks are just boring and lackluster.  Not really much to say.

Completion:

I FINISHED THIS GAME!  It really wasn’t that long with only having a few chapters [levels].  Once you beat it you unlock all sorts of cheats to help you achieve more in the game but it really is too little too late.  I have this game for the Saturn and over the decades I would try out the first level and think, “Man, this is a cool game!”  But after playing the Remake I think it was just me deluding myself.  Maybe Zwei or Orta will be better, but who knows!
