“For all the game’s idiosyncratic strangeness—a crazy fantasy/sci-fi jambalaya of elves allied with ninjas, and robots fighting with dragons—Shining Force mostly sticks to the fantasy formula. But it departs from the usual script in its use of multiple primary antagonists. In most fantasy fiction, the reader is left with no doubt as to the identity of the main bad guy. Sure, The Lord Of The Rings’ Sauron had lieutenants like Saruman and the Witch King Of Angmar, but you always knew who was in charge.”
