Arc the Lad (アークザラッド, Ākuzaraddo) is a series of video games created by Toshiro Tsuchida.[1] The series began with the release of Arc the Lad in 1995. Arc the Lad uses a tactical role-playing battle system, which all games except Arc the Lad: End of Darkness, follow. Each of the games feature recurring characters and locations.

Though the series enjoyed huge success in Japan, leading to an anime adaptation of Arc the Lad II in 1999, alongside several manga and a novelization, Western sales are low due to the obscurity of the series. The first three Arc the Lad games were not released outside of Japan until the Arc the Lad Collection was released by Working Designs in 2002, which was followed by Twilight of the Spirits in 2003 and End of Darkness in 2005.
