Shadow Hearts

Overview

The time for judgment has come.

Set in the early 1900s, Shadow Hearts follows story of Yuri, an Harmonixer, someone who can take the forms of other creatures and beasts. The story starts with a mysterious girl named Alice, who is being transported by the Japanese Imperial army to China on a train. Suddenly, a powerful magician named Roger Bacon tries to capture Alice, since she bears the secret to unleash a forbidden incantation, one that could burn the entire world to ashes. Then, Yuri comes to the rescue and saves Alice. Thus, they must embark on an epic journey all across China and Europe, searching for the mysterious man who tried to kidnap Alice and unraveling a devious master plan of apocalyptic proportions.

Something that makes Shadow Hearts unique from other RPGs, is the use of the Judgment Ring, which is not only rooted to our party's performance on battles, but also other aspects of the game like buying items. Our mastery with this peculiar system is crucial, since depending on what part of the ring we hit, we can deal more physical damage or, if we aren't skillful with the ring, fail to perform attacks or magic at all.

A hero with a mysterious past. A young girl holding the key to world domination. A villain who will stop at nothing to unlock the path to unlimited power. All this and more await you in a world of occultism, dark fantasy, and Gothic horror. Welcome to Shadow Hearts.
