Shining in the Darkness

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL GAME

Experience the beginning of the legendary Shining saga on Sega Genesis with this story-driven, console-style RPG. As the inaugural title in the three-game Shining series, preceding Shining Force and Shining Force II, you step into the war-torn Kingdom of Thornwood to challenge the forces of Dark Sol. Only by seeking out and mastering the mystical Arms of Light can you restore peace to the realm and emerge as its true hero.
Immerse yourself in first-person exploration and turn-based battles brought to life by vibrant, cartoony graphics. Guide your silent protagonist through a focused narrative, there are no side-quests to dilute your mission, only the thrill of uncovering rare metals to forge powerful, esoteric weapons. With 25–30 hours of richly layered gameplay leading up to a climactic final showdown, every step of your adventure builds toward the ultimate test of strategy and courage.
