Dragon Knight (ドラゴンナイト) is a sword and sorcery eroge/role-playing video game series by the game company ELF. It has also a hentai OVA and a four-episode series based on it. There is also a marginally-related manga series by Mineko Ohkami.[1]

The series mostly tell the story of Yamato Takeru (ヤマト・タケル) (no relation with the historical figure of Yamato Takeru), a somewhat wayward youth whose main purpose in life seems to be saving damsels and slaying evil.

Dragon Knight

In the kingdom of Strawberry Fields, a place inhabited only by women, the Goddess' Tower has protected the land and its people for generations. Then one day, the Demon descended upon the tower, and the people of Strawberry Fields suddenly find themselves threatened. Answering Queen Luna's (Noriko Hidaka) plea for help, the young warrior and traveler Yamato Takeru (Akira Kamiya) takes them on.

Two soundtracks: Dragon Knight - Treasure King of Water Chapter (ドラゴンナイト～水の宝王篇～) and PC Engine World — Dragon Knight & Graffiti were released in Japan in 1990 and 1995.[2][3]

Takeru Yamato (again Akira Kamiya) wanders into the small town of Phoenix. However, the very next day Phoenix is cursed by an evil sorceress named Mesaanya (メサーニャ) (Yumi Nakatani) who has captured all the girls and turned them into monsters and other enemies (werewolf, centaur, mummy, harpy, angel, catgirl, elf, berserker, kunoichi, etc.) and also possessed the town mayor's granddaughter Kate (Aya Hisakawa). Only Takeru is brave enough to try to defeat Mesaanya and break her spells.

Soon, it turns out Mesaanya has a personal grudge against Takeru, as she it is a sole descendant of a legendary group of she-demon witches which was fought and destroyed there 300 years ago, before Phoenix was built, by a Dragon Knight who incidentally was his ancestor. In order to save the girls and change them back to normal, Takeru must remove the curse one has to find three sacred writings in the Phoenix Tower, the ancient home of the witches, and find the Falcon Sword and the sacred Genji Armor that would be used to destroy Mesaanya. Along the way he meets the mighty warrior Baan and the mysterious priestess Sophia (ソフィア) (Sumi Shimamoto) who join him on his quest.

According to EGM, the game "became a sleeper hit with Japanese role-playing fans."[4] Two soundtracks: Dragon Knight II Fantastic Remix! (ドラゴンナイト II ファンタスティック・リミックス!) and Dragon Knight II PC Engine World (ドラゴンナイト II ～ＰＣエンジンワールド) were released in Japan in 1991-1992.[5][6]
