Description
Shining Tears, the long-anticipated side story to the legendary Shining Force saga, tells the tale of a young man who has lost his memory and has gotten caught up in a war he does not quite understand. The city he lives in is under siege, and the reason, he is told, revolves around two magical rings of power. In a journey of discovery, the boy and his friends will soon realize the terrifying truth about the world they live in. Along the way, they will fortify themselves with ever more powerful weaponry, spells, and a rotating cast of allies. Shining Tears shifts away from the strategy-RPG gameplay familiar to fans of Shining Force, focusing instead on real-time action. Up to two players can play cooperatively as they explore lush, 2D, anime-style environments, slaying monsters and working through a robust RPG leveling system.
