Breath of Fire

Platforms: Game Boy Advance, Playstation, Playstation 2, Super Nintendo

As in most RPGs, the main conflict in the Breath of Fire series is the battle between good and evil. Although this theme is extremely common in RPGs, the Breath of Fire series is unique in its treatment of the subject in that the plot is of a decidedly religious nature. In each installment of the series, the main antagonist is a demon; the protagonist Ryu, the last surviving member of the messianic dragon clan, must save the humans from their otherworldly foe. The plot often involves corrupt or misled religious leaders who are eventually revealed to have helped the demon.
