There are two unique elements to the Shadow Hearts games. PlayStation 2 Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Year: File size: 1. For nearly every combat action and for some mini-games, the player is presented with a 'Judgment Ring'. This is shown as a circular field that has a radar-like line that sweeps through the circle a single time.
There are several colored areas on this field. To successfully complete an action, the player must hit a button as the line passes through the area. For direct attacks, there are one or more of these areas, and as long as each area is hit properly, the player can attempt to make multiple attacks within the same turn.
For most offensive and some defense spells, there are areas that must be hit before a last larger area to successfully complete the spell. Most other actions have just one single area to be hit. For attacks, offensive and healing spells, there is also a narrow red area at the end of some sections; if this area is hit, then the attack, spell or item benefit is slightly increased; however, it is possible to miss these areas easily and fail the movement.
There are generally a number of ways the ring can be altered willing and unwilling in the games. Special items or persons can widen the size of the marked areas to decrease the chance of missing the mark, or even add a new zone for an additional attack. Equipable items may alter how the Ring behaves, trading off with another statistic; for example, one may be able to increase a character's speed in battle attacking more often at the cost of having the Ring sweep faster.
Monsters may inflict Ring status changes, such as increasing the sweep speed or reducing the visible size of the ring, which can be cured through spells, items, or restored after the battle is completed.
Some gamers complained about the Judgment Ring after the first game, claiming it made the game too hard. To appease them, the second and third games have the option to turn the ring off completely.
As a trade-off, doing this prevents the player from performing critical hits, strikes, and other special effects, essentially creating a large handicap in exchange for the reduced difficulty.
In addition to the usual Hit Points and Mana Points for each character, there are also Sanity Points SP , which decrease every turn the character is in battle as a representation of the character's exposure to the horrific and maddening creatures or can also be drained by enemies. When a character reaches zero Sanity Points, that character becomes 'Berserk'; the character will perform random actions on random battle participants including the player's party with increased bonuses until either some Sanity Points are restored or the battle ends; if the latter occurs, all players, regardless of the Berserk condition, will completely recover their Sanity Points.
