Utawarerumono

In _Utawarerumono_ , the player takes the role of Hakuoro, a mysterious masked
man who awakens one day in a strange village without having any recollections
of his past. Soon he discovers that the country inhabitants are being
oppressed by their emperor. Hakuoro organizes a rebellion, and eventually
becomes the emperor himself. Determined to bring peace to the world, Hakuoro
must nevertheless fight against countries who oppose his benevolent rule, and
discover the truth about his own past in the process.

_Utawarerumono_ is a turn-based tactical RPG with elements of a visual novel.
Much of the narrative develops through text and still images, with the player
being able to make a choice from time to time. Battles occur as dictated by
the narrative. The player navigates the characters on the battle field,
attacking enemies when they are in range. Experience points are gained after
the victory, and are distributed to raise the parameters of the characters.

The original PC version has explicit sexual scenes, which have been removed
for the PS2 release.
