Wachenröder is a Strategic Role Playing Game (SRPG) for the Sega Saturn. Most of the time the game is presented in a isometric perspective, similar the genrelike games Vandal Hearts, Front Mission or Final Fantasy Tactics, and consist of several turn-based fights separated by cutscenes. Some cutscenes are preceded by the playable character Bellebete narrating the story.

The story takes place in a dark future on the island Edoald, which is ruled by the noble and magnanimous King Wizar (who is imprisoned by the evil prime minister Vlad at the time which the game begins). In this alternate history, steam power is very sophisticated and the people hold it dear: vehicles, gadgetry or weapons driven by vapor in place of electricity. This links Wachenröder, based on its contents and its overall design, to the steampunk genre.

The gamer assumes the role of Lucian Taylor, who is in search of Imperator Duran, to avenge the illness-caused death of his younger sister which he makes him responsible for.
