Akatsuki: Lord of the Dawn is a real-time battle RPG where you make your own parties from a large variety of characters, use various military formations and techniques to take down your enemies.
The war between man and the demon king has ended, but the world is left ravaged. You take the role of a newly appointed lord, traveling across your lands to free your people from the remnants of the demon kings armies to bring back peace and stability once and for all.
It's been a few years since the war ended and the demon king fell, but the world is still suffering in the aftermath.
In the kingdom of Krenian, the king OdorianIV declares that the time has come to rid the kingdom of the demon kings forces, to rebuild and finally bring peace to his kingdom.
He appoints those most worthy in each region of his kingdom into new lords, tasking them with this endeavor.
