Description: The neighbouring nations of Meluvet and Garalas, once united as the grand Evancourt, are falling into dispute and the king of Meluvet, the once-loved King Agaman, is pressing his troops further and further into Garalasian territory in order to gain control of the land that belonged to his ancestors.

The story begins with a battle initiated by Meluvet on the border village of Seimu, a strategic point and vital to the Meluvetian army if it wishes to succeed in domination of Garalas. King Agaman's son, Durane, has been sent to lead the attack with his companion Eva.

The battle is a success and the soldiers return home. However, Durane is soon imprisoned for crimes he did not commit... or did he...?

A standard RPGMaker game. Quite short (I finished the whole thing in about 3 hours) and very easy to solve (I didn't lose a single fight). Graphics are made with standard tiles and portraits (some are nice, some are ugly).

The story was quite ok (but too linear for my taste), but the characters behaved strange in some situations (Eva: "I love you Duran and now that you know that, I'm going to kill you! ).

But still the game was quite entertaining and I like the idea of recruiting that many characters (think I still missed some). I ended up playing with different characters all the time as I tried to level up as many of them as I could. And that was definitely fun!

If you didn't find all the recruitable characters, you haven't completed it yet.

It's not 100% standard RPGMaker tiles, by the way (though a lot of 'em).

Anyway, LSII is generally regarded as much better, but you might want to wait a little while with that, since it's the same formula over again.
