''Knights of Xentar'' is an eroge role-playing video game published for the PC DOS in North America by Megatech Software in 1995 and has been originally published as ''Dragon Knight III'' in Japan in 1991. It is part of the ''Dragon Knight'' series of games created by Japanese game developer ELF, who originally released the game for the NEC PC-8801 computer in 1991, followed by ports for the Sharp X68000 and PC Engine CD platforms. The game is a sequel of ''Dragon Knight'' and ''Dragon Knight II''. Its gameplay system is different from that of previous installments of the ''Dragon Knight'' series, resembling this of the early ''Final Fantasy'' (even more in the PC version) series instead of first-person-view dungeon crawler, and enabling the player to explore the entire world of the game. Some of the characters were renamed in the in English and German localized ''Knights of Xentar'' release, including the protagonist Takeru's name changed to Desmond. == Gameplay == ''Knights of Xentar'' is a humorous JRPG ''eroge'' (meaning it has erotic content). The RPG system is completely different from that of the previous games in the ''Dragon Knight'' series. The player travels with a top-down view on the world map, visiting towns and dungeons (including Strawberry Fields and Phoenix from the first two games, ''Dragon Knight'' and ''Dragon Knight II'' respectively). The game's quest is nearly two times longer than the series' first episode.〔''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' 43 (February 1993), page 64〕 The enemy encounters are random and the battles are displayed in a side-view style similar to other Japanese RPGs such as ''Final Fantasy''. The battles are partially automated with the enemies and characters attacking each other in real-time. A battle can be paused at any time to cast a spell, use an item, or change attack style through a list of AI scripts.〔(Dragon Knight III: Staff Review ), Honest Gamers.〕 There are eight levels of attack strength, each with its advantages and disadvantages (for example, more powerful attack levels require more time). The game features cartoonish cut scenes, many of which contain nude erotic images - the girls the main character encounters and helps will often feel grateful and award him with sexual favors. However, there are no explicit hardcore sex scenes in the game and the girls' genital areas are censored as in most ''eroge'' games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Knights of Xentar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
