Shining Force Neo 

 

Sega has become extremely proficient at dismantling and destroying their really good and well liked role playing games. Phantasy Star went off reservation some years ago. That franchise could have dominated Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. Yet Sega dropped the ball, and stumbled around trying to kick it.

Shining Force was once the dominate SRPG. Then Sega decided to stop making them. In its place they churned out mindless hack and slash games. This is what Shining Force Neo is. A travesty to the well known and liked strategy role playing games. Maybe Sega will learn from their mistake and return to their roots.

Shining Force Neo is violent, bloody, contains gore, and is boring to its core. Well known RPG plot lines are used. Like your brother has been missing all these years, and he turns out to be a bad guy. Family Friendly Gaming Nation called it in the first fifteen minutes. Mindlessly killing millions to get to the next anime cut scene is exhausting in Shining Force Neo.

The bad language flows in Shining Force Neo just like the enemies. Which reminds me - why for the love of God can’t we destroy the generators early on? It has to plop so many enemies on the map before it can be destroyed. The same with certain boss enemies. The voice acting in Shining Force Neo is okay at times. Non-interesting at other times.

The guidance system in Shining Force Neo is confusing. The poor level design does not help things either. Who makes towns that look like that? Shining Force Neo does not have an intelligent design. There is church where NPCs are praying. Not clear on who they were praying to.

Shining Force Neo has okay cel shaded graphics for its era. There is also enticement to lust issues on top of the mindless violence. Authority figures are routinely disrespected in Shining Force Neo. Magic is also a part of Shining Force Neo. Please pass on Shining Force Neo.
