The first Langrisser game is the only one to ever see a USA release. It came out the same year it did in Japan, only under the title "Warsong." Besides changed character names, the translation was quite accurate.

Story

Langrisser begins some hundred years after Elthlead's campaign. In the absence of demons, the human world becomes dominated by the ambitions of individuals.

The secret sword of legend, Langrisser, was praised for the unlimited power that it gave to its wielder. As a result of the common people's avarice for that sword, it was mutually agreed to protect the sword from the viewing of the surrounding people, in order to prevent the spilling of much blood. It eventually passed into the royal lineage of the Baldea Kingdom, whose members are the final descendants of an ancient hero, and Langrisser remained protected.

By obtaining this legendary secret sword, the Dalshis Empire's Kaiser Digos? aims to dominate the continent, and he begins an invasion of the Baldea Kingdom with a large army division. Before the overwhelming military might, the Baldea Kingdom was suppressed. Moreover, even the royal castle was going to fall.

He achieved his goal of taking the sword, but it wouldn't be long until Prince Ledin rallied support in the countryside to reclaim his castle and begin an offensive against Digos? to take back the sword. According to his court magician, Jessica, with the sword removed from Baldea, Elthlead's seal on the demons had begun to erode.

After a great assault on the empire, Ledin defeats Digos? and reclaims the sword -- but it is too late. The Prince of Darkness Böser had stirred from his slumber and begun the revival of a dark god.
