HERLESH

Released by Xain Soft in April 1988, "Halesh" is an action-RPG developed for the PC-8801 series. Utilizing the large capacity of three 5-inch floppy disks, it delivered immersive action and storytelling reminiscent of the *Ys* series. With its profound world-building and signature Xain Soft presentation, the game remains a valuable artifact that captures the joy of exploration in late 80s Japanese PC gaming.

Set in a world where the forces of darkness are on the rise, players control a hero embarking on a grand adventure. To push back the encroaching evil threatening the peace, you must explore vast fields and dungeons while throwing yourself into battle. Conquering high-action combat sequences, uncovering the truth behind ancient legends, and challenging formidable bosses are the keys to the story.
