The Heian Fuuunden (平安風雲伝) - Introduction (SNES/SFC)
Original Air Date: August 1st, 2009
What to say about this game...? It's made in 1995 and published by KSS, the same group that published games like Mujin Shima Monogatari and Bing Bing! Bingo. Uhh...darn, it's hard to say things when you upload the weirdest stuff...well, it is said that the game is developed by Natsume, but I'm not too sure if that makes me feel good in the case of this game.
The game takes place during the Heian period, meaning that the game takes place anywhere from the year 794 to 1185. The game starts with a rebellion that is on the rise and a man named Kamohiro is passing the message along to local villages. After some talking, Kamohiro decides that it is best to talk to someone more powerful than himself to help deal with the rebellion, so he talks to a man named Seimei Yasube. Apparently, the rebellion will destroy Kyoto if it isn't dealt with. After Kamohiro's conversation with Yasube is over, the game introduces the main character.
You control a youth named Kagura, who is practicing the way of the sword. His master tells him that he has become quite skilled in the art of counter-attacking and that a strong defense is critical to defeat his opponents. Kagura's master's words are interrupted by a young man named Touta, who tells Kagura that a village elder named Tenkai is looking for him. You go into the house on the far top-right of the screen and speak to Tenkai and he tells you to travel to find Yasube.
Basically, the game deals with the dead and dark spirits and you are in charge of trying to bring order back to the land.
I've uploaded a game sample too.
