The player controls Edge, a young mercenary who rides a dragon and encounters a mysterious girl from a vanished civilization.

Panzer Dragoon Saga, known in Japan as Azel: Panzer Dragoon RPG, is a 1998 role-playing video game (RPG) developed by Team Andromeda and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn.
