A solid tactical role-playing game, the first in the Langrisser series, priced among the pricier US carts.
Warsong is the American release of Langrisser, the first game in a tactical role-playing series that blends warfare with role-playing in the manner of the Fire Emblem games. It was initially released on the Genesis, and Team Career developed it. Treco published it in North America in December 1991, after its Japanese release on 26 April 1991.
What the press said at the time
| MegaTech Issue 27 | March 1994 | 85% |
“A fantasy strategy game in which you have to lead your army of wizards, warriors and assorted mythical beasts into battle in several scenarios, with the overall goal of regaining your throne. Simple controls and fun battle scenes make this enjoyable even for someone who's usually not that keen on this sort of game.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
Treco published the Genesis version in America.
Also on other platforms
PC Engine CD · PlayStation · Sega Saturn · PC

Worth knowing
- Manga. A one-shot manga based on the game ran in Dengeki Mega Drive in February 1993.
Before you buy
Among US carts it is one of the pricier ones, so it is worth a careful look: a Western Genesis cart has no notch in its shell, and a flat shell with a notch is a repro sign, so ask for a photo of the board before paying a high price. The cart saves to a battery inside it, so test that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair, not a sign of a fake. The Japanese cart (Langrisser) usually costs much less than the US one and has a different cartridge shape.
