Langrisser II on Mega Drive: Choosing Your Side in a War of Light and Darkness

Langrisser II was released in Japan on 26 August 1994 for the Mega Drive, developed by Masaya as the follow-up to the strategy RPG the West knew as Warsong. It never reached Western shores in its day. English-speaking players had to wait for fan efforts, and eventually for the official 2019 remake collection Langrisser I & II, which was the first official Western release of the second game.

At a glance

  • Based on: Langrisser II (Masaya, Sega Mega Drive, 1994), a sequel to Langrisser (known in the West as Warsong)
  • Created by: Masaya (original); English translation by the Mega Drive hacker M.I.J.E.T.
  • Released: 1994 in Japan; the main fan translation was completed around 2008 to 2010
  • Genre: tactical role-playing game
  • What sets it apart: branching story paths and a character-driven plot

The game

Protagonist Erwin can fight for the Descendants of Light, the Rayguard Empire or the Demon Tribe, or create a faction of his own. Each route brings different allies, enemies and endings, which made it one of the first tactical RPGs to offer that choice of story. Before each scenario you hire troops, and rock-paper-scissors unit matchups decide how well they fare. Troops must be rehired after every battle, so spending wisely matters. The Mega Drive version has an exclusive playable character, Jessica. The Super Famicom remake, Der Langrisser, added more story paths and lowered the difficulty, which is why the Mega Drive original has a reputation as the sterner version.

The translation story

  1. An early project by Hiryuu Honyaku and NoPrgress produced an incomplete patch in 2001.
  2. M.I.J.E.T. later translated the whole game, with work dated between 2008 and 2010.
  3. The result is a dual-language patch that can show the original Japanese script or English depending on the console's region setting.

Sega-16 scored the game 9 out of 10, praising M.I.J.E.T.'s readable font and the sympathetic villains Leon and Vargas, though it found the plot generic. Noriyuki Iwadare's soundtrack was singled out as fantastic.
