Crimson Dragon:Side Story (Panzer Dragoon style rail shooter

Post by SuperGrafx »

Fantastic hori rail shooter that's inspired by Panzer Dragoon.
It's on the WINDOWS PHONE 7 platform and only 99 cents.
Tons of upgrades and skills to unlock, and the game plays great.

Crimson Dragon is Kinect only and now Side Story is exclusive on Windows Phone... clearly they don't want to make much money with this :/

^ More likely, Microsoft is funding all this for them on the grounds of exclusivity.

As for as Side Story... I think the worst part is the fact it actually looks REALLY good. What I wouldn't give to play both these games with an actual controller, it's a dayuum shame.

It's really a brilliant game. Very deep skill set system and the weapons range from classic Panzer Dragoon homing beams, to rapid fire shots.

Also cool is the GPS function. You need jewels to awaken unlocked skills. THese jewels are acquired through gameplay, the Xbox Live Marketplace, or just checking in frequently with the GPS function. THe more you travel, the more you earn.

Really a great game. Awesome atmosphere and soundtrack.
