Langrisser - Best game ever

Langrisser (Warsong)





This is the first ever game I've played. Well, not really the first, think that would karate on the ancient apple pc. Langrisser is the first RPG (Role Playing Game) that I've played and it's also the reason why I'm hooked on RPG games. It is still to date one of the greatest strategy games.

What sets Langrisser apart from others is its tremendous scale. Most similar games have you controlling between five and ten single units. By comparison, in Langrisser it's not uncommon to control over thirty units at one time, fighting against scores of enemies on a single map. The main characters are extremely powerful unit dubbed "generals". Each general commands a battalion of generic soldiers, and the two share an important symbiotic relationship with each other.





Some guy did a in-depth summary here

Can't wait for my Langrisser III to arrive.

Update: Langrisser III is sold out... Boo Hoo!!!
