Good deals are rare on the great video game classics, but certain promotions immediately attract attention. This is the case of the Panzer Dragoon remake, currently offered at a particularly low price on PC.
The game, which usually sells for around $24.99, is available for just $1.99 thanks to a 92% discount. An offer which remains limited and depends on the stock of keys available.
A $1.99 deal for the Panzer Dragoon remake
This promotion is offered by the Fanatical platform, which is selling Steam codes for the Panzer Dragoon remake released in 2020. The offer only concerns PC players. Once the code is activated on Steam, the game is permanently added to the player’s library.
This type of promotion is often limited in time or quantity. Interested players should therefore act quickly to take advantage of it. Even if the remake did not meet with the same critical success as the original, its current price makes it an opportunity to discover a video game classic.
A cult Sega classic born on the Sega Saturn
Panzer Dragoon was originally released in 1995 for the Sega Saturn. The game quickly established itself as one of the console’s defining titles. It belongs to the rail shooter genre, in which the player controls an automatically moving character while shooting enemies. The success of the first game gave rise to several sequels. Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, released in 1996, confirmed the popularity of the series. Then Panzer Dragoon Saga, in 1998, introduced an RPG dimension that left its mark on players.
A cult series but now dormant
The series continued with Panzer Dragoon Orta in 2002 on Xbox. Despite positive reviews, the license has gradually lost visibility over the years. Sega’s change in strategy, which abandoned console production, also contributed to the gradual disappearance of the series. Since then, few new projects have seen the light of day, which explains the interest aroused by the remake released in 2020.
An imperfect remake but an opportunity to discover the game
The Panzer Dragoon remake was developed by MegaPixel Studio and published by Forever Entertainment. If it did not reach the level of excellence of the original game, it put the license back in the spotlight. The project even paved the way for a remake of the second episode, currently in development. At this price, the remake represents an accessible opportunity for players who want to discover the world of Panzer Dragoon without investing a significant amount.
