Game Description
In this rich 2D RPG based on the Shining Force series, you're Xion, a young man suffering from amnesia. You wake up in a city called Shildia with no memory of your past - just two mysterious rings that mean combat time when you wear 'em. You'll have eight good companions, each with special abilities, just in time to battle the Rune Geist Empire and protect Shildia. As you explore the city, collect the various items you see to improve your weapons. Features a unique two-player cooperative battle system, 20+ attack combos, and 100 upgradeable skills.
