| As the first
game in the Shining Series, you are the son of a brave
knight. You're asked by the king to find the princess,
who is hidden somewhere in the Labyrinth by the evil Dark
Sol. Fortunately, you're not alone for long, as your friends
Milo and Pyra join pretty soon. You'll have to complete
four tests before you'll even get close to Dark Sol. After
every slaughtering in the Labyrinth, you can rest in a
cosy village, where you can find everything you'll need
(except for cheats, that is!). There's an inn, some shops
and, very important, a church. You cannot cast any spells,
but your friends can, as Pyra displays just after she
joins you. Their spells are powerful, but their amount
of magic points is limited, so don't waste them! The names
of the spells are quite representative, in opposition
to Phantasy Star, so you don't need a good memory to understand
the spells. |

| The best character in SITD!
Gnorn rules. |

| The game
looks surprisingly well for its age, and the sound is
okay. Shining in the Darkness has two major flaws, however.
The first is the lack of variation. I just don't like
dungeon-crawling the entire day, and the dungeons remain
quite the same. The second is, quite simply, the lack
of characters. Shining in the Darkness just doesn't have
this Shining Magic because you only get two co's. Still,
it might be fun to play sometimes. |

| You never know what may come
around the next corner! Usually it's just more walls,
but this time it's...a giant metal crab of DOOM!
NOOO! |
