Growlanser (グローランサー Gurōransā) is a tactical role-playing game for the PlayStation. It was developed and published in Japan by Atlus in 1999. It is the first installment in the Growlanser series.
Like all Growlanser games, the character art was done by Satoshi Urushihara. The game's music was done by Noriyuki Iwadare, with the opening theme being performed by Rukan Aru, and the ending theme being performed by Ayumi Ootsu.[1] A direct sequel to the game was released in 2001 under the name Growlanser II: The Sense of Justice.
It was announced on February 6, 2009, in Famitsu Magazine that Atlus is making an enhanced remake of the game for PSP systems.[2]
Carmaine is a young man living in the capital of the kingdom of Rolandia. Rolandia's palace magician, Lady Sandra, had taken him in as a young orphan and raised him. He goes off to explore the world, accompanied by a fairy-like homunculus named Tippi.
In this world, magical energy called Growshu, fills the air and people called Growsians can potentially wield magic like in ancient times. Carmaines's younger sister Louise is one such Growsian. Winged people called Featherians also exist, though they live in seclusion from humans. Long ago though, humans and featherians had to cooperate to save their world.
In Carmaine's questing, he become an officer for the King. With this job he must carry out missions to help his country. There are mysteries surfacing and trouble brewing as various enemies seek to disturb the land and people.
