Panzer Dragoon was released on the SEGA Saturn in 1995, Panzer Dragoon 2: Zwei in 1996, and
Panzer Dragoon Saga/RPG (a.k.a:
Azel) in 1997. The fourth game of the series, called
Panzer Dragoon Orta, was released for the Microsoft X-Box in 2002.
Basic storyline (you need to play the games in order to fully understand).
It features a post-Apocalyptic future where the abuse of genetic engineering and technology caused the near extinction of the human race. The survivors, scattered across the globe, tried to salvage what useful technology they could find while having to cope with the newly-created monsters which craved human flesh.
