Description
The legends say that when the three Gods descended to the world and created all living being, shaped the world, and brought intelligence to all creatures, they left behind part of their essence in a mystic treasure known as the Triforce. The legends also say that the Triforce has the power to grant the deepest, most desired wish of those who touch it. If a person with a good heart touches it, peace would be bestowed upon the land. If a person with an evil heart touches it, however, their dark power would grow to unbeatable levels.
Many yearned for the power of the Triforce, even getting to the point of shedding blood. One such person who desired for the power of the Triforce was a man named Gannondorf Dragmire, a black-hearted thief. He eventually succeeded, and his darkest wishes spread their black grasp across the Golden Land, twisting into a horrible dark world. Seven wise men of the kingdom of Hyrule managed to seal Ganon into the Dark World, for what seemed forever.

But now, a strange wizard named Aganihm has appeared and opened the portal to the Dark World, allowing Ganon's minions to come forth into Hyrule. Then, seeking greater power, he kidnapped 7 maidens, descendants of the 7 wise men, and imprisoned them in crystals scattered all over the Dark World, as well as the fair Princess Zelda of Hyrule Castle.

As Zelda is whisked away, she calls out for help...and the one who hears her pleas is a young lad named Link...

Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon is a remake of the first Shining Force for the genesis. The story still revolves around the Runefaust army trying to resurrect the Dark Dragon, but it features some new additions like new characters and additional story sequences in-between battles. Furthermore, dialogues have been expanded and the main hero has a background story now and is able to talk. Graphics have also received a complete overhaul, and the sound quality has been improved, although the compositions are the same as in the original.

The heart of the game are of course the tactical turn-based battles. 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 many more. In-between battles you can explore various towns to buy new weapons and items or chat with the townsfolk. There are also a number of secret characters and items to be discovered.

Shining Force's Gameplay has also seen some changes. The interface has been slightly simplified and you can now organize your units before battles. During battles, it is now possible to view upcoming turns, which makes it much easier to plan your next steps. To make the battles more interesting, even for fans of the original, you receive certain bonuses (usually money or a weapon) for completing battles in a set number of turns. Finally, a card-collecting side-quest has been added. Cards can have various effects in battle and one character is able to transform into the cards that you have found.
