Langrisser IV was only released in Japan and is similar to its predecessors with the exception of a new turn system in the original Saturn version and a new movement system that was added for the Playstation version. For those of you unfamiliar with this series, it is a turn-based strategy RPG which involves placing you in story-based scenarios (battles) with victory and defeat conditions. (e.g. Victory - kill all enemies, Defeat - death of the main character).

Langrisser IV is an innovative game that corrects the mistakes that the third game made. As a series Langrisser always tries something new the Langrisser II just improves upon the formula as well as adds new gameplay mechanics, Der Langrisser added multiple Routes, Langrisser III added character romance and a more social aspects to the series. Langrisser IV takes the best of each game and incorporates it into the games design. The games judgment system tries to fix a srpg bug of flying and mounted units dominating, but I think that it over corrected at times. Noriyuki Iwadare's music in this game is fantastic easy recommend.
