Guessed by Scoobes

'Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds' is a real-time strategy game built upon the basis of Age of Empires II, another great game. This game is one of my most played multiplayer games ever, because this was all a friend of mine wanted to play, if we'd play something competitively. I kind of had a love/hate relationship with the game because I was mostly unsure whether or not I actually felt like playing the game when he asked. Is it actually fun from the game I'm having, or is it just because it's fun to play anything with a friend? A strange sensation. Gradually though, as over the years a suitable modern substitute for us to play was never released by anyone, I came to realize, it's actually pretty good. One cool thing is hidden inside the game's campaign mode. The game features six civilizations from the original trilogy and Episode I (with two additional civilizations from Episode II in an expansion), but has campaigns for only five. The sixth civilization however, the Naboo, still has it's own mini-campaign in the form of playable easter-eggs in various levels of the regular campaigns. They could only be found using cheats, and because back then I regularly used cheats, I found it.

Age of Mythology I would say.

Not Halo Wars, Farsala immediately after you was right instead. I see the questionable structure of my sentence there might’ve put you off track.

Age of Mythology is correct!

This was guessed pretty quickly again.

43. Shining Soul II

First Played: 2004

Times Completed: 10+

I like quite a few of the Shining titles, which span multiple types of RPG and many different consoles, but Shining Soul II is my favourite. Choose from 8 classes to play, either in single or multiplayer, and the game takes the structure of an action RPG dungeon crawler. There is a central castle area to buy equipment, forge new equipment, take on side quests, and so on. From here, you warp to each "dungeon", which are more like levels or locations since they can take the form of a forest, a volcano, a haunted pirate ship etc. There is plenty to do, with a substantial enough story spanning many "dungeons", alongside many secret optional dungeons and sidequests, it even contains a few of Shining Soul 1's dungeons among the hidden extra dungeons. Like Secret of Mana, this is best as a multiplayer title, where different classes can work together. I like the many references to other Sega games and consoles and there is even a Master Sword to find, that looks very Hyrulian. With 8 different characters (and an optional 9th one) I've played through multiple times, solo and multiplayer.
