A
mysterious traveller is secretly planning to resurrect the
Dark Dragon. He has convinced the King of Runefaust to invade
the kingdom of Guardiana in an effort to realise his sinister
plan. You are a promising young warrior who was found seriously
wounded and washed ashore on the coast of Guardiana. The severity
of our injuries have cost you your memory. When Guardiana
is attacked, you are thrust into the role of leader and must
unravel the mystery behind the Legacy of the Gods and put
a stop to Dark Dragon's revival at any cost, or the world
shall perish...
Shining
Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon is an extremely
engaging and complex game - one in which you're going to need
your wits about you in order to complete. It's no good going
in heavy handed, you will need to carefully plan each move
if you are to progress anywhere quickly.
You
start the game just before you are recruited by the king to
go on a quest. And in order to do this effectively, you are
going to have to track down some skilled individuals who are
also eager to do what's right for king and country. Once you've
gathered your band of men it's time to set off. Within a few
minutes you'll encounter your fist band of enemies and learn
how this turn-based adventure works.
You
can move several characters each turn and attack the opposition,
heal, defend or run away. The latter won't help you in the
long run, and a careful combination of the main three moves
should see you easily complete the first battle. Don't worry
if any of your crew die, because you can resurrect them at
any church you come across on your travels. Churches also
provide you with an opportunity to save and load your progress.
While
you can resurrect your band of merry men, you can't resurrect
yourself. Once you perish that's the end of the game - so
you might have to do a bit of running away yourself after
all.
On
your travels you'll need to collect cards (which can be found
all over the place - in bookcases, kind souls will give them
to you, and you can collect them when you kill certain enemies).
These cards are split into four categories (effect, copy,
imitate and move) which can be used to defeat enemies in battle.
Playing
on and off, we managed to complete the game in a week, but
that doesn't detract from the addictiveness of the game. Now
we have completed the game once, we can start a new game and
continue to collect the cards we missed.
This
game is fantastic fun and will have you coming back time and
time again.
