Knights of Xentar
Dragon Knight III is an eroge role-playing video game released on many Japanese PCs 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-9801 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 English and German localized Knights of Xentar release, including the protagonist Takeru's name changed to Desmond.

About This Game
Having previously saved Phoenix from a terrible curse, the hero Takeru is stripped of everything—his legendary blade, his armor, and even his dignity—when bandits rob him blind. Desperate and penniless, he accepts a seemingly simple job offer from the city's mayor, a decision that sets him on an unexpected odyssey across distant lands. What begins as a quest for coin evolves into something far greater as Takeru battles formidable foes, crosses paths with remarkable women, and uncovers a conspiracy that holds profound truths about his own mysterious origins.
