Panzer Dragoon Saga is a 1998 role-playing video game (RPG) developed by Team Andromeda and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn. The third in the Panzer Dragoon series, it replaced the games' rail shooter gameplay with RPG elements such as random encounters, semi-turn-based battles and free-roaming exploration. The player controls Edge, a young mercenary who encounters a mysterious girl from a vanished civilization. The development was arduous and repeatedly delayed; incorporating the Panzer Dragoon shooting elements with full 3D computer graphics and voice acting, both unusual features in RPGs at the time, pushed the Saturn to its technical limits and strained team relations. Saga is the most acclaimed Saturn game and is often listed among the greatest games of all time, earning praise for its story, graphics, and combat. It had a limited release in the West and worldwide sales were poor. It has never been rereleased and English copies sell for hundreds of US dollars. (Full article...)
