Baffou rates this game: 5/5Shining the Holy Ark developped by Sonic Software planning, (who became Camelot later)
was released in 1996-1997.
It's a rpg in 3D subjective view like Shining in the Darkness, you explore dungeons, caverns, forests and towns to find some clues to resolve the mystery of the Enrich Kingdom.
The 3D graphics are beautifuls and the character modelisation have some ressemblance with Golden Sun and Shining force 3. (It's the same chara designer)
The musics like SF3 are composed by Motoi Sakuraba, and are absolutely wonderfuls.
Also, The scenario of this game have some links with SF3 and it take place 10 Years before Shining Force 3. (the screenshots i have added in SF3 and this game contain those links)
Personnaly i have appreciated this game as much as SF3.
If you have played SF3 and don't have played this one,
you need to dowload it right away !
Emulator recommanded : work very nice on SFF 0.10 or above.
