Game Ratings

We're sorry, but we don't have any reviews on this game yet.

Blueside Inc.'s first Nintendo DS title 'Shining Legend' is an action RPG. This genre is very familiar to Nintendo DS enthusiasts, but at the same time, players can expect elements of romance mixed in with adventure as the protagonist, a wandering prince of a fallen kingdom financially in crisis, meets a little-too-chatty cat and sets out on a journey to find seven princesses who went loose from their palace because of a little miscommunication.

Shining Legend features a hero who has to win the heart of one of the princesses, and at the same time pay off the debts that the kingdom owes. In addition to that, the main features of the title such as flashy FX, continuous battles against a horde of enemies, boss character battles, skills, dialogues between the hero and the princesses, and the images of the world maps of Shining Legend.

The player will be put in the shoes of the prince who hasn't got a dime, and has to do whatever it takes to generate enough money to rebuild the fallen kingdom. The player has to find those missing princesses for an enormous sum of rewards and pay off the great debts the kingdom is suffering from.

As the player progresses, he or she can grow the protagonist on their own terms depending on how well the player co-battles with the princesses, each of whom evolves differently according to how close the relationship between the protagonist and her is, not to mention various abilities and items the player acquires throughout the game. The player can also expect to see multiple endings depending on the path he or she took in terms of gameplay and relationships he or she had with the seven princesses, as each of them has a different story to unfold.

Unlike other RPG games where a somewhat slow pace of game allows the player a relatively long time to think, 'Shining Legend' brings a very different gameplay system where the player is constantly challenged by multiple enemies of various kinds in a beautifully detailed field, and the intensity of the battle requires the player to make quick judgments in each situation.
