Stranger of Sword City is a first person turn-based RPG dungeon crawler. The main character is Human but you get to change the appearance, gender, and class. You can create a team of up to 6 characters with customizable ages, races, and talents. Higher ages give more bonus points for stats but come with less life points. You can have 16 registered characters at one time. Races include: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Migmy, and Ney. Classes include: Fighter, Knight, Samurai, Wizard, Cleric, Ranger, Ninja, and Dancer. Classes can be changed up to five times. Each class change will half that characters current level but you get to keep one skill learned from the previous class. The game includes the new and old art styles allowing you to switch whenever you want. The games was originally released in Japan under the name "Tsurugi no Machi no Ihoujin: Kuro no Kyuuden" on Playstation Vita and under the name "Tsurugi no Machi no Ihoujin: Shiro no Oukyuu" on Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. "A story of gods and humans, fate and will... The plane you were travelling on disappeared mysteriously. The plane was never found. There was no trace of survivors... You awake in a cold night, under a starry yet unfamiliar sky. It's Sword City, Escario, where shining butterflies soar... A land inhabited by strange creatures, fierce monsters, and mysterious labyrinths. You are a Chosen One... A Stranger of Sword City."
