Story:Shining Force is a turn-based tactical RPG. Battles take place in square grids, and each unit occupies 1 square. Units can belong to one of two sides: allies (controlled by the player) or enemies (controlled by the computer AI). Each unit can move up to a fixed amount of squares along the battlefield, determined by its Move statistic. Depending on its location relative to enemies and to allies, a unit also has the option to attack, cast a spell, use an item, search (if adjacent to a treasure chest), or stay and do nothing, all of which end the unit's turn. Some commands, such as equipping or dropping items, don't count as actions, and the character's turn is able to continue. The order of the turns is determined by the unit's agility score and a random seed. Units can use offensive actions, such as physical attacks or offensive magic, only on units belonging to the other side and can use supportive actions, such as healing magic, stat-enhancing magic, and items, only on units belonging to the same side.Show more

When I was a child in the early 2000s, I was spoiled with games on CD every holiday - I couldn't get enough of them. One of the games I had was the Sega Smash Pack 2 which was my first real, consistent exposure to games from the previous generation - and I had a blast. I liked Kid Chameleon and I really liked Comix Zone, but Shining Force stood out to me for years and years after. The music, the graphics, the roleplay aspect of assembling your party, and the challenging and rewarding fights all surprise me even to this day every time I fire the game up. My hope is that if this game came out on GOG, maybe the next generation of people will get to make that same connection back to the history of early 90s gaming like I did and make some good memories to stay with them forever.
Me and my childhood best friends would rent a Shining Force game from the local shop and spend the whole weekend playing and passing the controller around. Great times, great memories!
Rented this game on a whim. I was thirsting for good rpgs and the description/box art hit all the right notes.
I struggled with it at first, as it wasn't like any rpg I have ever played, but once I understood the mechanics I fell hard in love with it. I loved the characters, the strategy, and the unique approach to combat.
I want this game on GOG because it represents an important step in tactical RPGs and because it's a timeless classic. The entire series should be there.
It was my first RPG game growing up. I first played it when I got the Sega Genesis emulator with all the old games. And it's my favorite of the Shining Force series.
