Langrisser II
Der Langrisser
Introduction[edit]
It is the second entry in the Langrisser series. Initially released for the Sega Genesis, it would receive a significant remake for the Super Nintendo and re-titled Der Langrisser. The Super Nintendo version added storylines, playable characters, and further tweaks to the tactical system. The most significant change is the introduction of story branches, in which the hero, Elwin, can choose to side with the Army of Light, the Imperial Army, Velzeria, or even declare his independence.
This port would be the basis of all other ports, with the Dramatic Edition adding a few more branches (which the Langrisser I & II remakes take into account).
This game follows the aimless wanderer Elwin, who is caught up in the wars surrounding El Sallia when he chooses to help a young shrine maiden named Liana. As noted, in the later ports of this game, Elwin will decide which side he fights for to help unify the continent.
