Right now, the only thing I can do in-combat, other than watch, is use an item like a healing potion.

It appears that later there will be more in-combat options as I acquire magical capabilities I assume that's what the grayed-out options like "Earth," "Fire," "Blizzard," and "Thunder" are along the bottom. I'm pretty sure I'm playing the patched version but without voiced dialogue I listened to a bit in a YouTube video, and it's pretty bad.ĭoing battle with some giant clams, which seem tougher than they ought to be given the lack of appendages.įor now, I've left the settings at the defaults until I have time to experiment more. To confuse things even more, in 1995 the North American publisher released a second version on CD-ROM with recorded dialogue.

That release wasn't until 1994, so some of the shots below are a bit more advanced graphically than we typically see for a 1991 game, although they reflect their original PC-98 counterparts. It was known as Dragon Knight III in Japan, and it's the only game in the series to receive a western release. Knights of Xentar is part of the Dragon Knight series from Japanese developer Elf. At least in this game, the protagonist rescues women in this situation instead of putting them there. Such images are easily searchable.Ī typical Xentar scene. I won't be showing uncensored images in this entry, not because I care but because I don't want Google to flag my blog as containing adult content. It's not gratuitous it's half the point of the game.

As for the nudity, anyone buying the game knew what he was getting. His own sexual adventures are consensual. While there is still something vaguely creepy and exploitative about the number of nude women depicted in the opening stages of an assault, the game at least depicts such situations as wrong, and the hero (at least so far) intervenes to save the women. Knights of Xentar doesn't quite have these problems.
