Shadow Hearts : Covenant is the 2nd chapter of the Shadow Hearts game.It reveal to us the life of the main character - Yuri,after beat Amon and after lost him girlfriend.In this second game he still can turn into a monster.Yuri fight for it life all of the game.He is cursed.Our hero have a new transformations and the greats fusion learned in battle with him father Dark Seraphim.In the start of the game you play with the second main character - Karin.She is a German soldier and a pretty good sword fighter.After a lot of time playing and finally in the end,the truth for her reveal...The other characters are Gepetto - a puppeteer,all of us know him from the anime Pinokio or from the tale.He have weak physical attack,but him magics are improved.Geppeto is the smartest of our heroes.In him ultimate sidequest the truth for him and him life are revealed.Other of your hero is a pet - wolf named Blanca.He have a lot of interesting sidequest to get the championship of the wolfs.He is fast, have some unique abilities and strong physical attack.The forth hero is a wrestler named Joachim.He is really a viper and can transform in few forms - Bat , Invisible , one form with pink mask and the ultimate form - The Great Question.Joachim is the most powerfull physical warrior.He is also the most funniest hero in the game. Joachim use a very strange weapon like a big fish , a postmail , Nautilus (Captain Nemo Submarine and others.He is a stupid,but a cute hero.Is time for another hero - Princess Anastasia.She is the little girl from the animation Princes Anastasia.Her special ability is to make a photos of the monster and this way to learn some new attacks.In the game she defend her father - King Nicolas.The last female hero is Lucia.She is a dancer and a taro cart clairvoyant.The last male hero is Kurando.He have 2 fusions and very strong and fast attacks.Other are for artifacts.You can join a lot of clubs - a lottery club - use a lottery ticket and have a chance for many rewards,a step club - it is for explorers,much steps you make a higher prize you take,a quiz games and etc.
The game have many sidequests.Everyone of them is for something - to take stronger fusion,to gain a new costume for Gepetto's pupets,to improved or learn new attack for Karin,to learn new ability for Joachim or Blanca,to take a ultimate weapons and armours.The one of the other sidequests are for obtain magics - crests.The crests are few types.They can be insert in map - Solomon Key.Every crest have it's own place.When you insert some of the crest in the right position in the map there improved.When you find and insert all of the crests right you invoked other sidequest - fight with King Solomon,but before this you must have win all of Solomon Trials.Solomon is tough,but after it's defeat he help you - Solomon give the best crest in the game - Melt Crest.
Other thing in the game are combo attack and magics.You can make a combo from 4 heroes ( the maximum characters limit).When the second,3rd and forth hero hits with magic or physical attack its make a more damage.The forth character may make a combo magic.
The other good idea in the game is the number of attacks and the judgment ring.It have a few types of this ring.The judgment ring is the thing which one are used in battles.When you missed a part of it you miss one attack or the turn - it is depedence of it's type.In the start you have one or two attacks and after find the best helper in the game - Soul Ring you can obtained a new bonus attack part of the judgment ring.Soul Ring don't give you only the ability for new attack,but you can talk with him.He is fun.
The other part of my review is the part of villains.The villains in the game are many,but i will tell the main.The first of them is Rasputin - another hero from the animation for Princess Anastasia.Other of the villains are the templar knight - Nicolai.The last villain is the character from the first game - his name is Kato.Everyone of them have there own henchmans and in the last battle with each they transform into demons,Kato in a God.
Graphicaly the game is not perfect,but it is beautiful nad cut.Every hero,every movement,every magic and ability is a lot of fun.Sound is nice for the ear,not like other role-playing games - repeative.The battles have not one,but a several musics.The gameplay is unique and fun.The judgment ring,the combos,the Sp points and the funny heroes.
I said play this game.Buy it,have fun and enjoy every second and every adventures with this cool heroes.
