| The Sword
Of Hayja (TSOH) was the first Shining Force on the Game
Gear. It seems that it's just a piece ripped from the
Shining Force CD game, but since I don't have a Sega CD,
I cannot confirm it. |

You are a splendid fighter with a mighty sword and your
first goal in the game is to retrieve the Sword Of Hayja.
When you find the sword however, the game is not completed
as you are forced to battle a greater evil in Iom. On
your travels, you meet some friends who join you in the
struggle against evil.
Well, the story is simple and so is the game. I found
it very disappointing that I was unable to talk to people,
search barrels and walk around (such as in SHF1). The
only interactive part of the game is combat, and you'll
have to do with that.
The combat is okay, however. You can search a bit while
fighting and the graphics are pretty good for the GG (as
you can see here). There are some weird things, though.
One of them is the 15 mp costing Slow and Sleep level
1 spells. I already doubt that anyone would use those,
but okay, they can affect up to 13 foes at a time. It
becomes really strange when you gain Sleep and/or Slow
level 2. These also cost 15 mp, but they can affect 1
person only! That's one way to waste magic points....
The game might still be fun to play, especially if you
don't own a Megadrive (and you have never heard of emulation).
