Warsong

[Griever]

I know one Langrisser game was released as Warsong in the US back in the day. Was it Langrisser I? I loved that game so much and would love to have an updated version of it.

[TrickZZter]

Yes, it was Langrisser I.

[ChaosticDude]

It's the only genesis srpg I played more then Shining Force II as a kid!

[Lowke]

Warsong was the best. Played it to death on the megadrive back in the day.

[Kjelstad]

I played through Warsong so many times. Then fond a Langrisser Hikari ROM and the English patch that I still have since 2 was not released here

[Shadowreaver]

I am super pumped! I played Growlanser but never got around to trying Langrisser save for the 3ds one which seemed to be hated and now mobile I always wanted to try Langrisser after playing Growlanser I know Langrisser is different from Growlanser but still something I always wanted to try. I played Shining force a lot I just never discovered warsong am happy this is coming out.

I played Warsong on the Genesis and then I played the Sega Megadrive versions of 1 and 2. The originals just can't be beat IMO.

Agree with Langrisser 1 but "Der Langrisser" the enhanced version of Langrisser 2 for SNES and later Sega Saturn/PsOne is vastly superior to Langrisser 2 on Mega Drive.
Langrisser 2 on Mega Drive had only the Light route with no diverging paths at all while "Der Langrisser" had all these extra scenarios and route splits where you could fight for the Empire or Chaos.
There is a reason barely anyone talks about Langrisser 2 on Mega Drive and "Der Langrisser" is recognized as the best game of the series.

Dont get me wrong, Langrisser 2 for Mega Drive is a good game but cant hold a candle to the later revised version of Der Langrisser.

Phantasy Star series, Shining Force series, Warsong... Ah, those were the days

Good old warsong, even with its suicide AI who just attacked anything next to them regardless of stats, combined with permadeath on all your generals was somehow still a very fun game.

Derlangrisser is such a legend, there is so much in that game. Langrisser 2 did show some promise but DL was bursting at the seems with so much content and replayability it just blew away L2.

I agree. I simply mean I like it more from the perspective of having owned literally EVERY japanese Sega Mega Drive game ever with the exception of 8 of the MOST expensive titles which were completely stupidly overpriced. The Batman game fairly late in the life of the system was a crappy game (by Akklaim) which at the time was priced around $700. I owned every game for the system except 8 of the absurdly priced games.

That was a golden time in gaming between the Genesis/Mega Drive and the SNES/Super Famicom. Good times indeed!

You should try Dragon Force 1 for the american Sega Saturn. That was similar but oh so FUN game. Even now a days it is simple yes but so so enjoyable.

Had Dragon Force and imported Dragon Force 2 from Japan.
And yes, great games. ^^

Dragon Force also is available for the PS2 in Japan in their " SEGA AGES" series of games.
Replayed that just last year.

Nice, I wasn't aware of that. I would love to play part 1 again. Cool ending boss music on that one. I never played pt 2 but I did import it.

Dragon Force 2 has a full English fantranslation by now if you did not know this.
Works well with Saturn emulators.

The game is very similar to the first one, biggest difference is that you now can mix armies, so from your 100 troops you can have like 60 infantry , 40 archers and control them separately in battles.
Was a nice addition.

Thank you Ogami, I was not aware of this!
