Shining Force

Legendary warriors of light fought them with the ancient and modern weapons of the time, and drove Dark Dragon into another dimension.

But Dark Dragon vowed that in a thousand years he would be able to break through the inter-dimensional barrier, back into this world.

A thousand years of peace and tranquility passed.

The people of the world were happy to live their lives in contentment, able to spend time rediscovering the magical and technological wonders destroyed by Dark Dragon and using them to benefit all people.

But the kingdom of Runefaust has begun a massive attack of the kingdoms of Rune - intending to help Dark Dragon return to this world.

A small band of warriors has been sent out on a dangerous journey to fight against the dark forces of Runefaust.

Shining Force is a tactical role-playing game.

As the player character makes his way through the lands of Rune, he is joined by other warriors who wish to stop the forces of Runefaust.

Each warrior has their own strengths and weaknesses.

As the player progresses through the game the characters gain new weapons and spells.
