Shining The Holy Ark
is a first person role-playing video game released in 1997 for the Sega Saturn. It is a part of Sega's '' Shining series'' of video games, and marked a new direction for the series, utilizing polygons as well as sprites for the visuals and a story targeted more specifically towards an adult audience. It introduced the saga of the Vandals and the Innovators, abandoning the saga of the Devil Kings which was followed by the previous installments of the series. In contrast to the action-adventure format of the first ''Shining'' game on the Saturn, ''Shining Wisdom'', ''Shining the Holy Ark'' revived older RPG elements such as extensive first-person dungeon crawling and turn-based combat. It had greater critical success than its predecessor, with praise going to its unique graphical style and engaging battles. Gameplay Gameplay is most similar to ''Shining in the Darkness''; the player explores towns and dungeons in the first-person view, with battles almost exclusively taking pl ...

Shining Wisdom
is an action-adventure game developed by Sonic! Software Planning and Camelot Software Planning and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn. It was the last game in the '' Shining'' series to be developed for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive but was reworked for the Saturn late in development. Because of this, it is more typical of the Genesis library than the Saturn library in its basic approach, rendering characters and backgrounds exclusively in 2D (albeit at a higher resolution than would be possible on the Genesis) and utilizing mechanics which mostly follow the rules of a two-dimensional world. This approach was seen as dated by critics, and it was met with mixed reviews, with some seeing it as a decent holdover title due to its massive length. While the ''Shining'' series has flitted across numerous sub-genres, ''Shining Wisdom'' remains the only game in the series to abandon the multi-character RPG format entirely. Players instead can control just one character, whose abilities ...

The Sword Of Hajya
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers.
