Message: [QUOTE="Gorse, post: 3602, member: 73"] [IMG align="left" width="279px" size="900x1280"]https://images.launchbox-app.com/4fa01b28-bc6b-4189-a874-1f4173752585.jpg[/IMG]I [I]hate [/I]first-person dungeon-crawling RPGs, but even a miserable curmudgeon like me can't deny that [B]Shining in the Darkness [/B]is excellent. The gameplay is fast and fluid, with battles only taking a few seconds each, the party size is perfect, with every character (even the main one!) getting a ton of entertaining characterization, and working through the in-game economy to [I]juuuust [/I]squeeze enough for the best items is extremely addictive and fun. But what really entices me is the presentation. Cutscenes are [I]gorgeous[/I], with huge, detailed sprites and unique bleeps and bloops for every character voice. They're animated fantastically, too, with loads of charming poses and designs[I], [/I]and I [I]ADORE [/I]the way enemies enter battle. The game's script is also very funny (I say this as someone who never finds game dialogue funny), and the sound design is completely engrossing. It has that "cinematic" quality that Shining Force has – it feels like you're playing something special. Take it from this genre's #1 hater – Shining in the Darkness rules. [/QUOTE]
