Shining Soul

The Shining series has long been popular amongst fans of the RPG genre, having appeared on the Mega Drive, Game Gear and Sega Saturn. Shining Soul, the latest instalment of the series, comes in the form of an exciting action RPG, which takes place a thousand years before the Mega Drive game Shining Force. At the heart of our tale there once existed a civilisation that was destroyed by the Dark Dragon, the embodiment of destruction. The Dark Dragon has been sealed for hundreds of years with the populace living peacefully, until the fateful day it again emerges and renews its reign of terror. A mysterious group called the "Crew of Light" appear, vowing to defeat the Dark Dragon.

Players have a choice of four character classes -- Warriors, Archers, Dragonutes and Wizards -- which they can select from depending on their playing style. Players can also customise the names for their characters as well as their appearance. With a 4-player multi-player link, this will unite all fans of the series for an all-out gaming experience.
