Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon

The game's tactical turn-based battles are its heart. You can take up to twelve different members of your Shining Force into battle. There are many different classes ranging from fighters and magicians to healers, knights, monks, ninjas and more. In-between battles you can explore various towns to buy new weapons and items or chat with the townsfolk. Secret characters and items to be discovered are also waiting for you.

Shining Force's gameplay has seen some changes. The interface has been simplified and you can now organize your units before battles. During battles, it is possible to view upcoming turns, which makes it easier to plan your next steps. Completing battles in a set number of turns rewards you with bonuses, usually money or a weapon. A card-collecting side-quest has also been added. Cards can have various effects in battle and one character can transform into the cards you've found.
