Excaliburian!!

Excaliburian!! is a turn-based adventure about Alexander’s descendants, who must journey to the heavens to renew their rule over the kingdom of Alexandria. The kingdom began when the Holy King gave Alexander dominion over the earth after he defeated the Demon King.

The story

The Holy King created the heavens, while the Demon King created the earth. To seal the Demon King away, the Holy King made the hero Alexander and gave him four holy relics: the helmet Tarnhelm, the shield Aegis, the breastplate Judgment Armor and the sword Excalibur. The relics were not enough to win the first battle, and Alexander fell.

The Holy King resurrected Alexander and created twelve gemstones to increase his strength. Alexander then defeated the Demon King, and the Holy King ruled over both heaven and earth. On the seventh day, the Holy King gave Alexander a kingdom to rule. Alexander named it Alexandria, with the understanding that each of his descendants must journey to the heavens to renew their earthly dominion.
