Langrisser Hikari 2 (Chinese)

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Langrisser Hikari series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Treco
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             RPG
LANGUAGE:         English and Japanese

PREMISE:          Prince Elwin, the son of King Alfador of Baltia, is given
                  care of the legendary sword Warsong in order to battle
                  the forces of the evil Dalsis empire.  A highly regarded
                  series of RPGs from a company not noted for such games.

IMPRESSIONS:      The first is an average-looking and average playing game
                  that in the long run does little more than set the stage
                  for its predecessor.  The second is generally considered
                  to be the best strategy-oriented RPG for the plaform with
                  the possible exception of Vixen 357, which uses the same
                  engine.  Both have good graphics and decent sound, and
                  will keep fantasy RPG fans suitably entertained.

VARIATIONS:       The first game was released for the SNES under the title
                  Der Langrisser and in an English version for the Genesis
                  under the title Warsong.  Because of this, the second
                  game is often called Der Langrisser 2 or Warsong 2.  The
                  English version changes many of the character names; for
                  example, Prince Elwin becomes Prince Garrett.

                  Langrisser Hikari (1991, Prince Elwin escapes into the
                    to raise an army after the Dalsis lay seige to his
                    father's castle)
                  Langrisser Hikari 2 (1994, Prince Elwin and his faithful
                    friend Hein embark upon a quest to find Hein's
                    kidnapped friend Riana)
