First Queen: Ornic Senki is a unique real-time strategy and action-RPG hybrid. Originally developed by Kure Software Koubou for the PC-98, this port brings the grand-scale, battlefield-focused gameplay to the Super Famicom. Players command a diverse army, moving units across large, open battlefields in real-time, focusing on troop management and tactical positioning rather than traditional menu-driven combat.

GAME ID: SHVC-OQ
BARCODE: 4967996930192
Released on March 11, 1994 (Friday) in Japan.
Battlefield Scale: Unlike most RPGs of the time that featured turn-based encounters, First Queen allows for large-scale "melees" where hundreds of units can be active on the screen at once. Players must manage their hero units and squad formations carefully to avoid being overwhelmed by the enemy's flanking maneuvers.
Recruitment Mechanics: A central pillar of the game is the recruitment system. As you defeat enemies or liberate territories, you can recruit various units into your army, each with unique combat behaviors. Developing these units and keeping them alive is crucial, as individual soldiers gain experience and become more effective over time.
Strategic Depth: The game is known for its high difficulty curve. Success requires mastering the scrolling battle maps, where you must coordinate between your main force and secondary units to capture key locations, making it a precursor to many modern real-time tactics games.
