About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Hiouden: Mamonotachi to no Chikai ("Hiouden: Legend of the Scarlet King") is a real-time strategy RPG from Wolf Team (the eventual developers of the <a href="/tales/3025-613/" data-ref-id="3025-613">Tales</a> RPG franchises) that is depicted from an <a href="/isometric-viewpoint/3015-246/" data-ref-id="3015-246">isometric</a> perspective. The game was developed originally for the <a href="/nec-pc-9801/3045-112/" data-ref-id="3045-112">PC-9801</a> computer in 1992 and was then ported to the Super Famicom in 1994.</p><p>The story concerns the young Crown Prince Richard A. McIntyre (who would eventually be known as the Scarlet King) who is chased from his home by demons. He meets a dryad spirit who bestows to him the ability to summon and control monsters and other creatures, and Prince Richard uses this power to raise an army to take back his castle.</p><p>The Super Famicom is one of a handful to use the <a href="/snes-mouse-support/3015-3659/" data-ref-id="3015-3659">SNES Mouse</a> peripheral as many of its mechanics depend on mouse control. It was never officially released or localized in the West, but a <a href="/fan-translation/3015-7684/" data-ref-id="3015-7684">fan translation</a> from prolific translators Aeon Genesis was completed in 2005.</p>
