Released in 1987 on the NEC PC-9801 in Japan, Sorcerian was developed by Nihon Falcom and is the fifth game in the Dragon Slayer series. It was later released for MS-DOS in English speaking countries through publisher Sierra Entertainment in 1990.

The game is a side scrolling action RPG, featuring customizable characters organized into a four person party. The content draws from the high fantasy tradition, and featured elves, dwarves, and the like. The game is organized into 15 "quests" or levels, which the player can approach through the order of their choice à la Mega Man.

Three expansions were released by different developers, each expanding the original quest selection.

The game is most remembered for including music composed by Yuzo Koshiro (along with contributions from Mieko Ishikawa and Takahito Abe), who would later go on to work on the music For the Streets of Rage series.

The soundtrack has been released in a variety of formats, at least five times.
