Feature: Say Hello To Vixen 357, A Lost Mega Drive Classic That's Hitting The West This Year

Fire Emblem with mechs?

Masaya is a studio that is closely associated with the strategy RPG series Langrisser, a franchise which went head-to-head with Nintendo's Fire Emblem in the '90s. However, the company – via Career Soft, one of its internal teams – had been dabbling in this genre for some time before that, releasing Elthlead (PC-8801, MSX2), Gaia no Monshou (PC-8801, PC Engine) and Gaiflame (PC Engine). Indeed, it would continue to explore this style of game even after Langrisser (Warsong in the west) had achieved critical and commercial notoriety, via the 1992 Mega Drive release Vixen 357.

With Langrisser currently undergoing something of a renaissance, there's a pleasing sense of synchronicity to the fact that this mech-based epic is also going to get a second chance in 2019. Super Fighter Team – the same company that has revived forgotten gems like Beggar Prince, Star Odyssey and Nightmare Busters – has announced that it will be releasing Vixen 357 in the west for the first time ever.
