The Forbidden Tower is a sequel to The Sign of Chaos and is the third game in the Tir-nan-óg series of role-playing games based on Irish myths. The plot continues the events of the previous game, as the legendary hero and the princess of Fianapia travel to the land of Serokyu, the fifth kingdom that became affected by the ensuing chaos as the light of the ancient goddess Dana began to fade away.

You start the game on the titular black rainbow (an ill omen in this world) and have a chance to equip some gear before you're dropped into the game world. Towns are pretty minimal affairs, with a couple of buildings you can interact with, and enemies attack pretty soon after you venture out.
The adventure continues as Peacock faces the incarnation of general Nobunaga Oda. Team up with Asura, a fiery spirit, Jukindo master Onimaru, and Zen master Kou Kaifou to fight Nobunaga's missionary minions with a vast array of Shingon spells!
