Growlanser is a fantasy SRPG (strategy role-playing game), and the first in the Growlanser series of games. The main character is Carmaine, an orphan raised by the palace royal magician, Sandra.

Review Morcys 4/5 · Jul 7, 2026

Playing games like this makes you realize the magic that modern JRPGs are missing. Even though it's my first time playing a game in this franchise, I felt this weird sense of nostalgia the whole way through. It took me 60 hours to beat, which was way longer than I expected.
