The sequel to the uniquely-styled 2001 RPG Shadow Hearts: Covenant takes place over a year after the original ended, and finds Yuri embarking on a new expedition during World War I in a fantastical world of magic and creatures. Cursed by a secret cult that is taking advantage of the war to fulfill their evil ambitions, Yuri's morphing abilities are weakened. Yuri and his companions must journey to find a cure for his curse and defeat the malevolent cult. The American version was re-released in Japan in budget form on March 10, 2005. Nocturne hadded two extra dungeons and extra sub events. The big deal, though, would have to be the video trailer of Shadow Hearts 3, selectable from the main menu.

As a game reviewer, no trend is more depressing than the glut of uninspired sequels that fill the shelves. It's the rare release today that doesn't boast a "2" or "III" in the title. Every once in a while, though, I don't mind seeing a sequel. And Midway's and Nautilus' Shadow Hearts: Covenant is one of them. The original had the unfortunate luck of shipping just days before Final Fantasy X, and as a result slipped under the radar of most gamers. It was, for all intents and purposes, the Sam Fisher of video games. Covenant has the RPG floor basically to itself this time and gamers will finally get a chance to see what they missed. Read More »
