Eddv 03/05/21 12:41:39 AM #62:	7.) Shining Force 2 (1994) Shining Force is probably not the best strategy game ever made. In fact, its pretty darn simplistic. And therein lies the charm - it's got this dragon quest style charm to it in its simplicity. The conceit of the game is that the world has sealed away a great evil - a thief steals the jewels that are the one thing holding the great evil back and the world is sent into chaos slowly. The game has some twists and turns - bird people and blind mystics, along with seamlessly integrated fantasy tropes. You have elves and dwarves and centaurs and...deer people? living together seamlessly forming an adventuring party with basically no attention drawn to that fact. Its sort of uplifting and has to some extent shaped my preference for a cosmopolitan fantasy world versus a "realistic" one where racial tension is a major subject of the fantasy races comingling. The game is basically dragon quest as a strategy game and I love it, but its hard to talk about BECAUSE its so simple. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy <cite>Eddv posted [p:951359540] in Board 8 #s...
