Can you defend your lands against a great evil? As one of the five Knights of Rune, it is your duty to battle the monsters and armies of an evil emperor and restore peace to a broken land. Once you choose your character, you'll organize your party members into attack forces and begin the battle. A deep and involving war simulation, the game's system is based largely on hit points, experience, and levels making it an effective role-playing title as well. Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena is a rich game and a time-tested classic. Located on the central plains of Forsena, Almekia finally brought peace to the land by finally defeating the country of Norgard, in 214. The long war was finally over… However, in the second month of 215, Admiral Zemeckis assassinated King Henguist of Almekia. Almekia collapsed and Zemeckis proclaimed himself emperor and established the Esgares. He was possessed by the desire to conquer the world and began his assault on neighboring countries…
