More US Shining Force

SEGA of America has announced plans to bring Shining Force EXA to our PlayStation 2-owning friends across the pond.

Although ostensibly an action RPG, EXA's US release will see the introduction of new elements to give the game a more strategic slant.

You'll still control warrior Toma, destined to unite a divided world, and sorceress Cyrille, destined to have a silly name, but you'll also need to keep an eye on something called the Geo Fortress.

This Fortress will be of your own design, and will need to be left protected whenever you set off to take in some missions. Rather than just a burden, though, it'll grow to match your style and tactics, like a sort of basalt daemon, possibly.

No word on when EXA's due out, but we'll let you know if we hear.
