Item Description

English-speaking Shining Force fans had to wait for this cartridge to take the series on the road. Its Game Gear predecessor, Shining Force Gaiden, never left Japan, so The Sword of Hajya, known there as Shining Force Gaiden II, arrived in North America in 1994 as the first portable Shining Force most Western players ever saw, picking up a war they had only heard about.

The story opens two months after Gaiden. The kingdom of Cypress is locked in conflict with the aggressor nation of Iom, and Prince Nick has ridden off to fight without the Sword of Hajya because his arm has turned to stone. He leaves the blade in Mayfair's care at the castle, and when Iom's forces steal it, she sends a band of young soldiers led by Deanna to bring it back. Veterans of the first Gaiden, including Gyan, Ruce, Woldol and Randolf, return to fill out the ranks.

Sonic! Software Planning brought the full Shining Force formula to the handheld. Battles play out on grid maps in turn-based tactical skirmishes, and between them you save, revive fallen allies, buy and sell weapons and healing items, and promote characters into stronger classes once they reach level 10. Building your favorite units into a promoted strike force is as addictive here as on the Genesis. The North American release also reworked the level 3 Blaze and Freeze spells, a change that left mage characters famously powerful and gives this version a flavor all its own.

Electronic Gaming Monthly praised its music, graphics and length, calling it the kind of game made for a portable on a long trip, and VideoGames magazine named it the Best Game Gear Game of 1994. Retro Gamer later placed it in its top ten Game Gear games. The story was eventually remade as part of Shining Force CD, but this cartridge is where Deanna's chapter of the Cypress saga first played out, a complete tactical campaign that fits in a coat pocket.
