About Me

                              

Shinning Force

System: Genesis Date: 1992

This was the pioneer of the strategy RPG gender. Though I found it quite flawed

Graphics: The over world graphics look like they could be done on the NES, but to be fair the battle cut scenes were quite good for there time.

SCORE: 5

Music: The tunes are all forgettable and lame.

SCORE: 2

Story: The story is just bad. The character development is non-existed, an example of a character encounter that leads to them joining your party is: "hi I am a knight, may I join you in your quest?" .And getting back to the main story line, it's a disaster. You go from area to area just because and then at the end you fight the true enemy of the world, the end.

SCORE: -1 .. Note: Ok, a 1 or 1.5 I suppose.

Gameplay: This may have been the first Shinning Force but the game play is still rock solid. Like other strategy RPG you fight on a large battle field were your characters can move(depending on their range) or fight each turn, it done well but not refined like in later strategy RPGs.

SCORE: 6.5+

Innovation: The father of strategy RPG's even though it’s a weak game, though many would disagree.

SCORE: 7 ++

Replay: I wouldn't, though there are many characters to master.

SCORE: 3

Overall: For some reason I just don't think much of this game.

SCORE: 4.5
