This is a Korean role-playing game which contains episodes 1, 2, and 3 while the next game Part 2 contains episodes 4, and 5. Though continuous in story, there is a time gap between the two parts that is millennia long. This is a turn-based RPG with a minor element of real time strategy game. This minor real time element is called the Legion System. For example, a small number of individually uncontrollable characters surrounding the leader character is considered as one whole player, contributing a faster pace of duration for a huge scale combat for a turn-based Tactical RPG. Episode 1 : Shivan Scimitar Saladin, whose real name is Philip Pandragon, leads a mercenary group called the Shivan Scimitar. He joins in the civil war going on in Tur with intentions to weaken the nation so that the Kingdom of Pandragon can take it over, but finds himself falling in love with Sherazard, the youngest daughter of Schleiman V. He abandons his intentions, but soon the weakened Empire gets invaded by the Kingdom of Pandragon. Episode 2 : Crimson Crusade The story follows a zealous young man, the Grandduke of Beaumont. The grandduke wields kingly power as regent, because the country's true monarch, Clauzewitz I, is currently on secret research mission. He conquers all the resistance within the Kingdom of Pandragon, overthrowing strong local aristocracy that had been characteristic of politics of Pandragon for ages (Beaumont viewed the aristocracy as reason for Pandragon's weakness in comparison to the amount of territory it controls, because the nobles wouldn't unite for a common cause). He invades the Empire of Tur - under the declaration of "Crimson Crusade". Episode 3 : Apocalypse Christian de Medich is the main character in this episode. Christian and his partner Joan Kartright work for ISS. They investigate the Cult of the Dark Prince, which reveres the Dark Prince, former Regent of Gaysir since his father, Emperor Karl I of Gaysir, was wounded in battle with Pandragon. Along the way, they meet up with a mysterious individual who refers to himself only as "The Iron Mask." With Iron Mask's help, they find a conspiracy that will doom the world that they live in. Before that happens, the Iron Mask offers an unconventional solution, which Christian reluctantly accepts. |
