Growlanser VI: Precarious World

The continent of Esgrenz is broken up into separate principalities which keep an uneasy peace. When civil conflict flares up against the royal family in the kingdom of Hingstan, the powers that be at Fomeros send troops into Hingstan while a company known as Monopolis conspires to profit from the impending war at hand. To add more intrigue to the mix, a rebel force works undercover with the goal of usurping the power of the ruling Hingstan family. Against this backdrop, a 21-year old hero named Merklich and his friend Wendy endeavor to find answers, offer solutions, and perhaps discover the mysteries behind the Hidden Continent. Although Merklich suffers from amnesia as a result of a near fatal accident, he nevertheless knows how to fire off magic spells and slash a sword like a champ. Merklich and Wendy are agents of the Monopolis company but when they encounter members of the rebel army, Merklich begins to question the goals and intentions of his employer.

Growlanser VI features 3D roaming game play and nearly 20 minutes of cut-scene animation which enhances the storytelling as the adventure unfurls. Atlus calls the battle system, "Seamless Mission Clear" where encounters are fought directly on the over world. «more»
