/vr/ - Retro Games

Compared to the amount of party-based JRPGs available on the PS1, the number of strategy RPGs seemed paltry, but this was only really true for English-speaking audiences. Japan kept a ton of SRPGs for the PS1 to itself.

Chief among them is Houshinengi, developed by Koei and based on Investiture of the Gods, one of the great classics of Chinese literature which also serves as the setting for their Warriors Orochi series. It's a fantasy adventure set in ancient China, with the sprites-on-polygons presentation and turn-based combat that SRPG fans are accustomed to. Every character is given their own anime-style portrait, features, personality, and abilities in battle. The game is much lighter compared to Koei's historical Chinese strategy games, although it maintains the company's signature style.
