Review

This is an excellent strategy RPG. This isn't a genre I typically enjoy, but much as they did with Shining in the Darkness for first-person dungeon crawls, Climax did a great job of making the genre approachable. Rather than being simply a series of consecutive battles, Shining Force breaks up the action with town sequences in which you have direct control over the protagonist, and you can explore and talk to NPCs just like a traditional JRPG. For me, this balance is essential, and they nailed it.

Score
