    A game that wants you to earn your victory. You'll make tough choices midbattle that may either earn or cost you the battle. The music is nice, the art is glorious and the voice acting suitably over the top. I like modern Fire Emblem a lot, but this old skool pair of gems is pretty damn excellent for totally different reasons. I love it!

    A remake handled in the best way! With options to switch between remastered and classic versions of the music and visuals at any time, being able to enjoy the new music and artwork while having the function to have a peak at what the game was more similar to back in the 90s is very much appreciated.

    It's easy to recommend this game to anyone who likes strategy games, particularly Japanese ones with Anime art styles like Fire Emblem. The defining characteristic of the game is the many alternate story routes. The branching paths in the plot provide tons of replay value and give opportunities for characters to be developed in a variety of ways.

    Absolutely loved every second of both games. Adored the classic 90s Anime artwork, catchy & emotional music, over the top dramatic plot lines and memorable characters. If Langrisser III-V get the remake treatment as well, they will be a must-buy for me.    … Expand

    I was one of the people who didn't care much for the new art and I still don't but after playing through the game once I am now hooked the endless new game + mode is amazing since I play langrisser 1 and 2 each year now I can play them every year in new game plus mode with multi path endings and numerous endings for the price you cannot I repeat cannot beat the value of this games replay-ability

    One of the best strategy RPGs on switch. Great value too with both games. Langrisser one has 8 different ending options and Langrisser two has 13 so lots of replay ability. Get new game plus if you want to play through faster to get the ends as all your levels and items carry over. Game looks great. Can take a little while to load into the game, but it runs perfectly otherwise. Put 55One of the best strategy RPGs on switch. Great value too with both games.

Different difficulties offers plenty of challenge if you want it. Def worth a pick up if you like strategy RPGs.… Expand

    i give this a 10 because i loved warsong on the sega genesis, and i like remasterizations of simple but fun action strategy games. what about remastering genghis khan 2 or gemfire both of the 16 bit era ,i still play this game although 25 years have passed, sure fire emblem is the best strategy game on any platform and breath of the wild is the king of family friendly open world games,i give this a 10 because i loved warsong on the sega genesis, and i like remasterizations of simple but fun action strategy games. what about remastering genghis khan 2 or gemfire both of the 16 bit era ,i still play this game although 25 years have passed, sure fire emblem is the best strategy game on any platform and breath of the wild is the king of family friendly open world games, most modern titles are gore filled games made for psicopats, or cartoony games aimed for little children.LANGRISSER IS SIMPLE STRATEGIC AND FUN… Expand

    Langrisser I & II isn’t for everyone. But I think it’s for a lot of people who may never have even seen the originals, and I strongly recommend it to everyone on a whole lot of different levels.

    If you're a Fire Emblem fan, there's little reason not to try Langrisser. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 72]

    The Langrisser 1 & 2 collection is a pleasant tactical RPG collection with some gameplay quirks that range between novel and grating, and audiovisual stylistic choices that at times suit it well and at others are baffling. Overall, the core experience in this collection is sound enough to overlook the wild swings in presentation quality.
