Name: Lord Monarch
Author/Vendor: Falcom
Released: 1994
Type: RPG
Language: Japanese
Premise: Lord Monarch combines elements of Warcraft and Populous. The modest goal is to take over the world. Populate your domain, then spread out over the rest of the map. Sweep away the other lands and bring the one truth - yours - to the rest of the world.... If you're clever enough to get past the initial world, the warfare moves to the deadly battleground of fast food restaurants.... (KickAss Games)
Impressions: An RPG that doesn't take itself too seriously. The self-pompous music is well suited to this tongue-in-cheek adventure. Employs both top-down and isometric graphics. The kingdom-building and battle systems are among the easiest to understand for this kind of game, even if you don't know the language. You don't have to read Japanese in order to enjoy this game, folks - it's a riot!
