EGGCONSOLE Lord Monarch PC-9801Switch eShop

This is a real-time simulation game released in Japan by Nihon Falcom in 1991. It is the seventh installment in the Dragon Slayer series, but since it is not an RPG—unlike most of the series—it is known among fans as a unique title.

The player becomes the king and governs their country, with the goal of defeating all other nations. You issue commands to units to cultivate land, build houses, construct fences for defense, or build bridges to strengthen your base, while combining units to create armies. The stage is cleared by capturing the enemy’s castle. After clearing a stage, stats rate are shown, so you can replay to aim for higher scores.

There are a total of 53 stages included. As the game progresses, the difficulty naturally increases, and visual elements like characters and themes change as well, allowing players to enjoy a fresh experience each time without getting bored.

With its fast pace and intense territorial battles, this game is a superb simulation title that can be recommended to a wide range of players.
