Light Crusader (ライトクルセイダー) is a Sega Mega Drive action role-playing game developed by Treasure and published by Sega. Released in 1995, the game plays from an isometric perspective and features elements of puzzle platformers and Western computer RPGs.

During development, the game was known as Relayer.^[21]

History

When distributed in Australia, Light Crusader was sold in a VHS-style box. The additional space was not used to accommodate any extra items, and the release only included the cartridge and instruction manual.
