In the ensuing battle, Bowie wrests the Jewel of Darkness from him, but he is unable to rescue Elis, and the ground around the Ancient Tower collapses. They find the possessed King Galam inside the Ancient Tower, who has taken Princess Elis as a hostage. When the party breaks out, Slade helps Bowie retrieve the Jewel of Light and accompanies his party back to Granseal, which has been invaded by Galam forces. Bowie and his friends are captured by the Galam military: while in their dungeon, they meet the thief, Slade. The Gizmo subsequently possesses the king of the neighboring kingdom of Galam. The Minister, in place of King Granseal who is looking over a fainted Astral, then orders the slaying of the Gizmo by a platoon of Granseal's soldiers. Sir Astral exorcises the demon, which promptly flees. Sir Astral and the nascent Shining Force visit the king, finding him possessed. It is discovered thereafter to have possessed King Granseal. Upon their defeat, the Gizmo that appears to be the leader flees. Greeting their arrival in the tower are devils named 'Gizmos' springing forth to attack, though their ultimate intentions are unknown. They find that the door to the Tower of Ancients has been unlocked and stands open. Sir Astral, the court's adviser, along with his apprentices, Bowie the squire, Sarah the healer and Chester the knight, investigate these events at the castle. The following day, King Granseal falls sick when he is attacked by an unknown creature.
In a shrine south of Granseal Castle, a thief named Slade unwittingly breaks the power of a magic seal by stealing the jewels of Light and Darkness this unseals the demon king Zeon trapped therein. If Bowie is defeated in combat or withdraws, the battle is lost and the player is returned to the nearest town, where he can recover his allies and fight the same battle again. The battle is won if all enemies are defeated, or if the enemy commander is defeated. Some commands, such as equipping or dropping an item during the turn, do not count as actions. Each turn, a character can move and perform one action: either attack, cast a spell, or use an item. Some characters have two different classes they may be promoted to, one of which is only accessible using a special hidden item.īattles take place on a square grid, and each unit occupies a single square. Once a unit reaches level 20, that character has the ability to advance to a more powerful class through promotion. Units can become stronger by fighting enemies and performing various actions which give them experience points (EXP), which allow them to gain levels. These abilities range from what type of weapons they can use to what kind of spells they can learn. Each ally unit also has a class, which defines the abilities for that unit. Some of these characters are hidden, requiring specific events to occur before they will join the force. While roaming through town or moving throughout the world, one can find both visible and hidden treasures and interact with certain objects.Įach ally unit is represented by a character with a background and personality. Some towns have a headquarters where the player can inspect and talk with his allies. When not in combat, the player can explore towns and other locales, talk with people, and set the members and equipment of the army. The player assumes the role of the Shining Force leader, Bowie. There are also two different ways of promoting many characters.
There is no chapter system, so the player can return to previously visited parts of the world. The game is much longer than the first and more free-roaming. Its storyline is not directly connected to the original Shining Force, although a Game Gear title Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict links the two games' plots.
