Shining Force – iPhone

This is how I survived multiple five hour long flights on a crowded Southwest Airlines 737…
Shining Force, the legendary Strategy RPG for the Sega Genesis has recently been ported to the iPhone. I bought it day one, as I am a huge Shining Force fan. As a kid I grew up around Sega systems, the Genesis was the first console I ever owned, and the two Shining Force games for it are some of my all time favorite games.
If you have never had the opportunity to play Shining Force, here’s a basic run down. You play Max, the leader of the Shining Force, a group of warriors on a quest to stop Darksol from awakening an ultimate evil. As a strategy RPG you move your troops on a map and battle monsters. The combat is shown in quick battle vignettes which really add a lot to an otherwise very simple game.
Combat & Maps Galore!
If you need a game that will soak up some idle time, and you have an iPhone. Pick up this classic ASAP. Hopefully SEGA will port the sequel, Shining Force II, soon as it is an overall improvement over the first game.
