Sigma
One of the main protagonists, a young warrior whose journey reveals the truth behind the sacred swords and the world's fate.
How it plays
The game uses a top-down tactical perspective. Each scenario places allied commanders and their troops on a grid-like battlefield with terrain, enemy formations, and mission objectives. Players move units, engage opponents, use magic or support skills, and attempt to complete the stated objective.
Commanders gain experience and can change classes, which affects available troops and abilities. Battles are organized into story scenarios, with conversations and decisions between engagements. The campaign follows a fixed overall narrative but includes scenario variations and character-related developments.
Plan your run
Inspect the map before moving, because terrain and enemy range can decide an engagement before combat begins. Keep commanders and their troops coordinated, and use class changes to cover weaknesses rather than raising every character in the same direction.
Save between scenarios when possible. Experiment with dialogue and scenario decisions only after preserving a completed save, since some developments can alter later events.

Langrisser V: The End of Legend is a Japanese tactical role-playing game developed by Career Soft and published by NCS Corp. for the original PlayStation. It combines turn-based battles with a fantasy narrative involving rival powers, ancient weapons, and the continuing conflict surrounding Langrisser. Players command groups of units across scenario-based maps rather than controlling a single character in direct combat. The game is known for its class-based growth, commander-and-troop battle structure, branching story elements, and substantial campaign length. It served as the concluding numbered entry in the original Langrisser series and was generally recognized by Japanese players as a faithful refinement of the series formula, although it was not released officially in English-speaking regions.
