Introduction

Back in September of 1994, Japan received yet another game that would never get an official translation into English. A rather unusual RPG on the SNES; one that featured realtime grid-based combat, a number of different scenarios and a truly fantastic soundtrack. In 2008, the kind folks at Aeon Genesis finalised their unofficial translation and made this Let’s Play possible.

The SNES had many great soundtracks, but this one is really an underappreciated gem. It was created by Yoko Shimomura, who is responsible for the music of Super Mario RPG, Parasite Eve, Legend of Mana, and both the Kingdom Hearts and Mario & Luigi series (among others). Suffice it to say that we are in very good hands here.
