Lunar: Dragon Song is a classic Japanese role-playing game with turn-based combat and a side view in a fantasy setting. The game takes place a thousand years before the events of the first part of Lunar: The Silver Star. Young messenger Gian Campbell must thwart the plans of the Foul Tribe, a race of powerful sorcerers who intend to seize the powers of the goddess Althene and destroy the world. Due to his duty, the hero often has to make his way through places infested with monsters, so from the very beginning he is a fairly experienced fighter.
