Shining Legend

Synopsis :

Quote:

Shining Legend is a whimsical action-RPG from the studio behind Kingdom Under Fire. The game tells the tale of a tiny kingdom named Alterrain. Forced by the mighty nation Forceles, the prince of Alterrain, Luchs, was exiled to "The Land of Sand" when he was only fourteen.

Five years have passed, and Luchs has returned ... but in his absence, his kingdom has fallen into great debt. The king (Luch's father) disappeared and left nothing but burden on his son to pay off. Hope seemed lost for Luchs, but suddenly a call goes out for a hero -- the princesses of a neighboring country have all broken out of their palace, and there is an enormous reward (and perhaps a promise of romance) for whoever rescues them. At that same time, a talking cat name Morgan has come to Luchs' side to convince him that he has great potential, if he only would believe in himself. And so, sword in hand, Luchs sets forth into the world to prove that he can be that hero!

The game is a mix of classic formulas that can be found in many Japanese RPGs. Players have two main objectives during the course of the game: pay back their father's debt and win the heart of a princess. Most of the player's time will be spent fighting monsters and developing relationships with the different girls. Players will need to learn those girls' personalities and moods and act accordingly, giving them gifts and speaking to them in certain ways to win their affection.

The prince, named Luchs in the documentation I was given (I imagine this might change to "Luke" in the official translation), will travel around the continent and complete quests to earn money. During these travels, he can actually be joined in battle by a princess, which gives Luchs access to different special abilities or team attacks. These attacks vary depending on the girl Luchs is courting.

This is just the beginning, of course. Luchs also has his own set of attacks and spells to use and he'll level-up and grow stronger as time progresses. As the game wasn't actually playable during my meeting with Blueside, the only information I have to go off of is screenshots. And the most noticeable feature of the battle system is the collection of enemies you'll be fighting. Monsters in Shining Legend are both 2D and 3D affairs, which gives the visuals a very nice look. Most of the characters and lower-level creatures are just 2D sprites, but when Luchs faces off with a boss character, that monster will be a 3D model.

Blueside wants the battles in Shining Legend to be action-heavy, so don't expect any turn-based business here. Luchs will be running around the screen and pounding on his enemies with the strength and valor that only a broke prince can muster. And considering the beautiful girls he's trying to impress, I'd say players have plenty of incentive to fight.

It looks like special attention was given to the artwork in Shining Legend, as the character designs, environments, and even the small sprites have a light and airy look to them, giving the entire game a wonderful aesthetic. This will undoubtedly work well with the game's sense of humor, as I was told that if the player fails to win the heart of a princess by the game's conclusion, Luchs could be propositioned by a less-than-ideal suitor. I'll just leave it at that!

Judging by Shining Legend's structure, players will be able to tackle this RPG an absurd number of times. Not only does every princess have multiple endings, but each successful playthrough will enhance the game's difficulty level and new quests will open up. Considering the game has more than 400 quests to offer, I imagine that players could keep Shining Legend in their DS for a long, long time.

Looks promising . That's remind me Luminous Arc series for Romance :D
