Princess Lemian has spend much of her life studying in a foreign school. One
day, as she is strolling through the campus, a group of mercenaries attempt to
kidnap her. The Princess’ personal lifeguards, known as “Her Knights”, arrive
in time to rescue her, and she learns that war has broken out on the
continent. The Princess must now travel back to her homeland, with her brave
knights protecting her from danger.
_Her Knights_ is a Korean-made role-playing game in predominantly Japanese
style, with light tactical elements. Like in most games of the type, the
player navigates the party of characters on the overworld, visiting towns,
talking to non-player characters, and participating in turn-based battles –
all viewed from an isometric perspective. The knights gradually lose energy
when traveling and must rest to replenish it. The princess herself doesn’t
fight, but each of her knights is a fully controllable character with a
variety of attack moves and combos. Formation, defensive stances, and the
direction the characters are facing affect their performance in combat. The
player has the option to replay battles with a suggested lower difficulty.
Personal relationships between the princess and the knights play an important
role in the game’s plot. The player can use special items to influence these
relationships and even initiate romances with specific knights.
