The Heavy Wing has a smaller amount of lock on targets and cannot glide but has a stronger attack and can aim the dragon's special berserk attack. The Base Wing is the dragon's standard form and offers the Glide Attack and the largest amount of targets for the homing laser. Switching between them is essential to tackle different enemy/boss types. Orta's dragon has three forms or "Wings" in the game.

How does the dragon progression and multiple forms work? No previous knowledge of the series is required to enjoy it. No, Panzer Dragoon Orta can be seen as a standalone story. The player is also responsible to watching for enemies from all around Orta by rotation the camera around her with the left and right triggers.ĭo I need to have played the previous games in the series to understand the story in Orta? You'll use that cursor to shoot Orta's handheld weapon and paint targets for her dragon's lock on laser. You navigate Orta and her dragon across the screen by guiding a targeting reticle with the left analogue stick. The most mainstream point of comparison for Orta would be StarFox 64 in terms of controls.
