Name:	Langrisser Hikari series (2 titles) Langrisser Hikari (aka Warsong) Langrisser Hikari 2
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)
Recommended Emu:	Megasys (first game - all others tend to drop parts of the menu texts and graphics) KGen 98 (second game)
