Shining Force CD — About this game
This tactical RPG rebuilds the first two Game Gear Shining Force adventures as connected books, with further challenges beyond them. You command a growing force through grid-based battles, moving each unit on its turn before choosing an attack, spell or item. Terrain, attack range and the safety of weaker allies matter more than rushing forward. Between battles, maintain equipment and prepare the force for the next encounter.
