Yep, I never thought I'd go back to the Game Gear and its primitive selection of games, but here we are. This is the second of three Gaiden games for Shining Force, and sadly I couldn't play the first one. Unfortunately, all this really offers is a new plot, as the gameplay mechanics are completely intact, with the only real difference is a lack of exploration in between battles as that mechanic isn't here. As a result, this game is obviously not any better than the original Shining Force, and I didn't enjoy much of that.
Heck the only real things that would be interesting are tidbits here and there. At one point Natasha has to command the ground army while Deanna has to command the boat army, which has some flair to it, but not by much. Enemies dropping very important items are also cool, and having a key character be available for the final battle is cool in a way too. This unfortunately is compounded by basically all the rest, the stuff I never did enjoy in Shining Force, and again the issues of certain characters falling behind is quite easy to occur.
