Saiyuki [Koei Teiban Series] Japan

Saiyuki: Journey West is a title that weaves the tale of a fantastic quest featuring tactical medieval combat between people and creatures with a host of bizarre powers. Saiyuki: Journey West is based on one of the most famous Chinese folk tales; the journey of the monk Sanzo to India and back from his native land. Sanzo has the power to call forth powerful guardians to aid him in times of need, and as his quest progresses, so will the strength of his summoning. Along the way he encounters a whole host of characters and situations, and most of the allies he meets will have the peculiar power to mutate into monstrous were-creatures that possess enhanced powers.
