About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Koutetsu no Kishi ("Steel Knight") is a WW2 turn-based strategy game in which the player assumes the role of Fritz Kraemer, a prominent German Waffen-SS and Heer (army) officer. The player, as Kraemer, must succeed in various campaigns led by Nazi Germany just before and up until the end of the second World War.</p><p>The game was originally released on the NEC PC-9801 by General Support and was ported to the Super Famicom two years later by Dual and Asmik Ace. The Super Famicom version was followed by two sequels: <a href="/koutetsu-no-kishi-2-sabaku-no-rommel-shougun/3030-28289/" data-ref-id="3030-28289">Koutetsu no Kishi 2: Sabaku no Rommel Shougun</a> and <a href="/koutetsu-no-kishi-3-gekitotsu-europe-sensen/3030-28290/" data-ref-id="3030-28290">Koutetsu no Kishi 3: Gekitotsu Europe Sensen</a>. It was one of a handful of games to support the <a href="/snes-mouse/3000-19/" data-ref-id="3000-19">SNES Mouse</a> peripheral.</p><p>Possibly due to its focus on German WW2 campaigns, neither Koutetsu no Kishi nor its sequels were ever released outside of Japan.</p>
