Shining Force II

The second part of a great series of tactical RPGs. Compared to the first part, the game has improved both graphically and in terms of music and story. The number of battles has increased to 43 (plus two secret ones), and some battles can be replayed. Again, there are 30 playable characters. The plot of the game is as follows: the thief Slade steals two stones that seal the Devil King in the Ancient Tower. His henchmen break free, the evil devil becomes king of a neighbouring state and goes to war against Grancil - your home town. You are a simple swordsman, Bowie, who by fate has become the owner of these stones. He expects long trials, meetings with wise gods and evil minions of the devil king, some of whom are not so evil, they just have to serve their king faithfully. I'll list the game's innovations. You now have to gain 20 levels to reach the highest category, instead of 10. You can also get alternative classes by using special items. For example, you can turn a knight into a paladin or a winged pegasus. You can also craft weapons from the magical material Mifril. There are many more weapons and useful items, as well as enemies. In the English version, the ability to take chests during battles has been removed, so those who want to get the full enjoyment of this game are advised to play the Japanese version after familiarising themselves with the English version. This game can confidently be called the best RPG on this console.
