Mystic Heroes

Mystic Heroes (バトル封神, Batolu Houshin) is an action revamp of the original strategy RPG, Fengshen Yanyi, alternatively known under the Japanese pronunciation of the title, Houshin Engi. Mystic Heroes changed the visuals and incorporates elements from the Warriors franchise.

The "main objective" here is not to simply destroy the "other force" but to work your way to a boss and progress in the story. As a side note, this is the first and possibly one of very few known games Koei has produced for the Nintendo Gamecube. The Playstation 2 adaption of the game is Cho Battle Houshin in Japan. Mystic Heroes also has a Japanese-only Game Boy Advance game tie-in called "Magical Fenshin". The events of this game takes place after the second Fengshen Yanyi title, Fengshen Yanyi 2.

Overview
The story begins by telling you about the "bad guys" of the game and their escape using the Dragon Star. This manifests itself as an orb that lets the "bad ruler" generate all the enemies him or his cohorts wish upon the main characters. The game has 4 main characters in the Japanese and US Gamecube versions and 8 (4 main and 4 secret) in the Playstation 2 version. There are two main stories that inter twine but do have slight differences.
