Langrisser III
Check the System Seen So Far
This series began as a simulation RPG, but the story elements have grown stronger with each installment.
Because of this, the battle system and the narrative system are closely connected.
The Core Battle System Has Two Phases
Unlike the “pure simulation” style of previous titles, this game adopts a real-time simulation style while still using turns.
You give orders to your commander, and combat unfolds dynamically.
Positioning and timing are now very important.
Conversations During Battle Deepen the Story
During RPG-style story battles, dialogue occurs.
The “relationship system” affects:
- allies’ reactions
- the heroine’s feelings
- branching story developments
Your actions change how characters feel about you.
