About this product

Product Information

As the story unfolds the Destonia Empire and the Aspinian Empire are close to peace. However, during a peace summit in Saraband, the Bulzome monks and their leaders are able to kidnap the Destonian emperor while impersonating the Aspinian king. Thus, the world believes the Aspinian people do not want peace and a war ensues.<br><br>Shining Force III is a combination of role-playing and strategy. You take the role of Synbios, son of the Destonian emperor's son. You command an army of characters who are made up of typical RPG classes such as knights and mages. Each character has their own types of weapons and some are capable of magic. Battles are where the strategy elements take place. On the battlefield players take turns attacking and can even make friends with other characters who are attacking the same foe.

An excellent strategy RPG game for any fan of the Shining Force series!
Shining Force 3 is an excellent RPG for anyone who is a fan of strategy and tactical gameplay. It eschews the traditional "random encounter" turn based RPG format for a strategy-style battle gameplay mode. Shining Force's battles could be like a board game: the characters move in spaces on a grid and attack enemies with either magic or physical attacks. The Saturn version updates and improves upon the Genesis games by adding 3D graphics, longer battles, more characters, and an in-depth storyline. The most interesting thing about the story is that it is set in a feudalist world, but unlike traditional fantasy genre it combines elements of science fiction. For example, there are "republics" and "imperial" powers, there are trains and railroads alongside medieval technology. This gives the story a unique feel.

Expensive, worth it if you are a shining fan or a die hard saturn collector.
Absolutely amazing gameplay, to be expect from the force series. If you played 1 and 2 then this is a must play! Too bad we never got Parts 2 and 3 cause it ends on a pretty big cliffhanger. If you are a casual collector or don't care for the shining series then sadly this game isn't for you for the price it is currently at. If you are interested in starting the series I would recommend starting with shining force 1.

Fantastic
The game quality exceeded my expectations. My husband is an avid gamer with an outstanding collection. I bought this as an early Father's day gift, and it could not have gone more right.

Still a great game
This game is keeps abusing me and i keep coming back for more. Compelling gameplay and an interesting narrative make this gem worth the price.
