Our very own KnightOfDragon, behind several of the fan translations and tools in the scene (Including the Shining Force III translations), put together four Shining Force III horror inspired save files to get Saturn fans in the mood for Halloween!
Each save involves battles within The Graveyard and Vandal Mansion areas, where you play not only as the Protagonists, but the villains as well!
Save #1 (Named Vandal)
“You are Abdark. Elbesem has granted a blessing on the Synbios army. Eliminate Synbios, and show Bulzome you have what it takes to rule over Quonos.”
In this save, you have to play the Abdark, and his band of Skeletons, Succubae, and bats to face off against Synbios. Each one of your characters are incredibly weak, so this battle will take some strategy to conquer, especially since everyone in the Synbios Army can pretty much one shot you.
Save #2 (Named G.Buster):
“You are a ghost buster. Your goal is to free all of the Kyon – Shi spirits.”
In this save, you play as a level 1 Synbios, and must defeat each of the Kyon-Shi spirits. Both you and the Kyon-Shi spirits are on even footing, so tread lightly when fighting these spirits.
Save #3 (named Kyon-Shi):
“You are the Kyon-Shi. For a brief moment, you are freed from Abdarks spell. Eliminate the monsters that have enslaved you. But be careful, Kahn is about to try to place you into your eternal rest.”
As the description says, you play as an army of Kyon-Shi, and your goal is to defeat the other monsters around you, and attempt to take on Kahn.
Save #4 (name Synbios):
“Standard battle to play through the spooky parts of SF3.”
As described, this is just a normal Shining Force III save right before the graveyard and Vandal Mansion areas. While not the most challenging, it’s definitely a few of the best battles in Shining Force III. Highly recommend playing this regardless of your skill level at the game.
The other cool thing about these saves, is that it supports two player battles! If you’d like to play these challenges against a friend rather than an AI, you can load these up 2 Player save files, and get ready for the challenge of a lifetime!
If you’d like to try these out, you can download the save files here. Load them up in either SSF, or actual Saturn Hardware using Singa’s Game Save Copier.
UPDATE
Rikapso over on the Shining Force III Discord put together a debug save for Shining the Holy Ark, which places you at the Aborgine Mansion (Another haunted theme area in that game). This save should place you in the forest with the mansion fairly close to you, so no needing to fend through the forest to enjoy it! Starting off at Level 12, you will fight your way through the countless hordes of ghosts and ghouls!
You can download that save file here. Thanks to KnightOfDragon again for converting the save file for actual Saturn hardware!
Let us know if you decided to take on these challenges, and how you fared!
