Warsong (known as Langrisser in Japan) is a game developed by NCS. It blended tactical warfare with RPG elements, similar to the Fire Emblem series. It was initially released for the Mega Drive/Genesis console and the PC-Engine CD add-on, the former version being published by Treco in America and the only game in the franchise released outside Japan. It was later re-released along Der Langrisser (its sequel's remake) in a compilation for the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation.

[edit] Story
The storyline followed the young Prince Ledin (Garett) as he escaped an attack on his castle and is immersed in a battle between the forces of good and an ancient evil.
[edit] Gameplay
Each hero leads up to eight army units, which can be repurchased if they die, but if a hero dies, they are lost forever. When heroes gain enough levels, they may be upgraded to a more powerful class (most characters have different upgrade paths).
[edit] Music
The music in Langrisser was composed by Noriyuki Iwadare and Isao Mizoguchi.
