Crusader of Centy in the US, Soleil in Europe, Shin Souseiki Ragnacenty (新創世紀ラグナセンティ) in Japan, and Ragnacenty in Korea, is an adventure game developed by Nextech under contract from Sega in 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive. The game was translated to Korean (released 1995), English, French, German, and Spanish. The North American release was localized and published by Atlus. The game's music was composed by Motokazu Shinoda, a professional Japanese concert pianist and composer (sound programmer Noriyuki Iwadare is often miscredited as co-composer)

Soleil is a village in a large continent overrun by monsters, and the crusaders of Soleil are sent out by the King to save the humans. While on your own quest, you save an old lady who tells you to talk to a fortuneteller west of Soleil, who exchanges your ability to talk to humans with the ability to talk to animals (for the first half of the game, that is). Now, you must rely on your sword and the aid of a group of animals to rid the world of monsters — though along the way, you'll come to realize monsters aren't as evil as the humans make them out to be.

Gameplay

swings your sword. Early in the game you pay a soldier to grant you the ability to hold to shoot your sword straight ahead. jumps (this ability must be learned early in the game). Along the way, you have certain animals join your pack, each with their own abilities that aid you in some way. You can have up to two active at any time, and carrying two often allows you to combine their abilities into even more useful abilities. Some animals have further abilities activated with the button. When paused, you may select animals or save (you may save at any time but will start at the beginning of the room/field); once all your health is gone, you will die and be returned to the title screen. Orange and red Apples give you back health; golden Apples of Life restore all health.
