Dragon Drive: D-Masters Shot is a third-person shooter for the GameCube released in 2003 by Treasure. It is based on the Dragon Drive series and was only released in Japan.
Dragon Drive is an aerial combat game, set primarily in large, outdoor arenas where players had to face several waves of enemies. With multi-directional dash and lock on abilities, the game has sometimes drawn comparisons to the Zone of the Enders series.
The game also has a handful of rail shooter levels, drawing frequent comparisons to Sega's Panzer Dragoon series, but these comprise only a very small portion of the game.
