    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 action-adventure game developed by Nextech under contract from Sega in 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive. The game was translated to Korean, English, French, German, and Spanish. Atlus produced a separate English translation and published the game for North America.

    Story

    Soleil is a village in a large continent overrun by monsters. The village law requires that all 14-year-old boys go to train and prepare for battle. The game's hero, Corona, has just turned fourteen at the beginning of the game. Corona receives the sword and shield of his father, who died in battle and had a great reputation for his bravery in defending the city. The crusaders of Soleil are sent out by the King to save the humans from the monsters.

    Early in the game, Corona visits a fortuneteller and loses his ability to speak to humans in exchange for the ability to talk to animals and plants. After defeating a dragon, Corona recovers the ability to talk to humans and travels through time. He must rely on his sword and the aid of a group of animals to build a better world and understand why the monsters are at war with humanity.

    Animal selection

    The game is an action-adventure game resembling Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. The story centers on Corona (who is named by the player upon starting the game), a boy who has just turned 14 years of age and inherited his late father's sword to fight the monsters that threaten the human race's existence. Gameplay uses an overhead perspective and focuses on exploring, battling enemies with a sword, and solving puzzles. As the story progresses, numerous animals join the hero and aid him. The various areas of the world are selected from a map screen, with some areas having multiple entrances.

    Corona walks in any direction using the D-Pad. Some objects can be pushed by moving into them. He swings his sword with A. He can talk to NPCs with A when standing next to them. Corona learns a few additional abilities as the game progresses. He can pay a soldier to learn the ability to throw his sword by holding A and then releasing it when the sword begins to glow. The sword can be aimed at any angle, including diagonally, with the D-Pad, and it returns back like a boomerang. Corona learns the ability to jump with B from a rabbit. Some objects can be jumped over but some cannot. He learns the ability to pick up certain objects with A when next to them from an elephant. He drops the item with A again (or throws it if he jumps first).

    Early in the game, Corona finds himself losing his ability to speak to fellow humans, and instead gaining the ability to speak to animals and some flowers. Some of them join him, lending Corona their abilities. Each animal has its own special technique. The first animal the player gets is Corona's pet dog, Mac (US version) or Johnny (UK version). He can hold enemies down for Corona to attack. Later, the player gets a penguin, named Chilly (US version) or Penguy (UK version), which powers up Corona's sword with an ice attack when it is thrown. Some animal abilities are activated with the C button. A total of 16 animals can be obtained. The player can select up to two animals at a time by pausing the game with  START , which causes them to follow Corona and contribute their abilities. Certain combinations of animals can sometimes combine their abilities into even more useful abilities.

    Corona's health is depicted by red apples in the corner of the screen. He loses an apple when he is hurt by an enemy or a hazard. Bottomless pits, lava, and deep water also cost a health apple and cause Corona to respawn on land. When Corona has the maximum number of health apples, the word "MAX" appears. He can increase the maximum number of health apples he can have by defeating bosses or by finding Apples of Life. The game ends if Corona loses all of his health apples, but it can be restarted from the last save point. The player can save the game at any time (except during boss fights) but restarts at the beginning of the room or field when loading a saved game.

    Malin is the currency of the land, and it can be collected from defeating enemies, cutting down grass, or finding it in treasure chests or coin bags. Malin can be exchanged with NPCs for a number of services, such as learning abilities or gaining animal companions.

    Items

    Items are dropped by enemies or found in chests, boxes, or chopped grass.

    Corona's pet dog. He can be ordered to freeze in place with C, which holds any enemy that happens to run into him still. Joins the group in Soleil Town when Corona talks to him after gaining the ability to talk to animals.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Chilly (US version) / Penguy (UK version) / ぺんぎー

    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Kitty / みけ
    A cat who gives Corona a second chance if he dies (but only once). The effect is passive (the cat does not need to be selected). Can be hired at the animal village in Anemone Beach for 50 Malins.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Cecil (US version) / Ciel (UK version) / ももんがあ
    A flying squirrel who allows Corona's sword to be thrown farther and to ricochet off walls. The sword can be called back to Corona with A.

    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Flash (US version) / Charlie (UK version) / ちった

Joins the group at the animal village in Iris if Corona beats him in a race. The player can talk to him before the race and pay 50 Malins to make him go slower to make the race easier to win.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Edgar (US version) / Egg (UK version) / たまごん
    An egg that attacks everything on screen for 5 seconds (but can only be used one time). Can be hired at the animal village in Iris for 50 Malins.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Pieces (US version) / Caterpillar (UK version) / むっしー

    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Batty (US version) / Bat (UK version) / もりもり
    A bat who renders Corona invincible for 20 seconds (but can only be used one time). Can be hired at the animal village in Camellia Desert for 100 Malins.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Dippy (US version) / Dinosaur (UK version) / かっしー
    A lazy dinosaur whom Corona can ride across cross bodies of water on the world map (automatically) and across deep water and other terrain in the areas (when selected). He moves faster if combined with Flash. Joins the group in Camellia Desert after visiting the Tower of Babel.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Inferno (US version) / Lion (UK version) / りおん
    A lion who sets Corona's sword on fire for extra damage when it is thrown. It has the same effect with Dodo but sticks to the target. Joins the group in Castle Freesia if rescued from his prison.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Leviathan / りば
    A monster who speeds up Corona's sword swinging, charging, and throwing by double. Combined with Moa, Corona's sword abilities are tripled in speed. Joins the group at the Root Temple after defeating him.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Monarchy (US version) / Butterfly (UK version) / ぱたぱた
    A butterfly who allows the player guide Corona's sword with the D-Pad while it is being thrown. The sword can be called back to Corona with A. Combined with Cecil, the sword travels in circles. Combined with Moa, the sword can be controlled indefinitely until called back. Transforms from Pieces when Corona visits the Tower of Babel the second time.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Wong (US version) / RaccoonDog (UK version) / ぽんぽこ
    A raccoon who can disguise himself to look like Corona with C, distracting enemies. Joins the group in Soleil Town after Corona regains the ability to talk to humans if the player talks to Corona's mom and her double (who turns out to be Wong in disguise).
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Rio (US version) / Armadillo (UK version) / あるま
    An armadillo who can turn into a platform with C that Corona can pick up and throw with A. This can be used for crossing deep water or bottomless pits or for hitting buttons that are otherwise inaccessible. Joins the group in Iris when visiting it in the past.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Moa / もあ
    A bird who strengthens its partner's abilities. For example, Monarchy and Cecil's powers can be used indefinitely (press A to stop), Flash and Leviathan have their effects increased from double to triple, and Inferno and Chilly do additional damage. Joins the group after defeating the Chameleon in the Camellia Palace.
    Crusader of Centy, Animals.png
    		 Dodo / どーどー
    A dodo bird who causes Corona's sword to attach itself to an enemy when it is thrown (usually resulting in the enemy coming back to him in return). Joins the party in Burn Daisy when visited in the past before fighting the Puppet Master.

    Areas

    The different areas of the game are accessed from the map screen. The player can freely enter and leave areas. New areas become available after Corona has found the exit in an existing area.

    		Final Area
    Boss:
    The Spirit Energy and the 5 Senses
    The Spirit Energy is guarded by five bosses representing the five senses, which must be defeated before Corona can fight the final boss. Talking to the MotherMonster (taking the form of a lizard) in between boss fights heals Corona.

    Music and sound

    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.

    History

    Development

    This is one of two games to have originated as Shining Rogue (シャイニング・ローグ)[9] (the other being Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole), and thus intended to be part of Sega's Shining series of games. Development was largely handled by Gau Entertainment, which was bought by Nextech midway through development.

    Legacy

    The game was included in all versions of the Mega Drive Mini 2 in 2022.
