Bionicle: Maze of Shadows
2005 Strategy
Angelique is a surprisingly deep strategy title that marked the debut of Ruby Party’s now‑famous series, with Koei handling the publishing side. The game drops you into the shoes of Angelique Limoges, an ordinary high‑school student who suddenly finds herself thrust into a royal selection process. Guided by nine distinct Guardians, each with their own abilities and personalities, you must balance court intrigue, resource management, and personal relationships to prove you’re worthy of the throne. The original experience was later reborn on the Game Boy Advance, arriving on March 21 2003 with a fresh handheld interface that kept the core mechanics intact while adding a portable charm. It’s a unique blend of romance‑driven narrative and tactical decision‑making that still feels fresh for anyone who enjoys a good queen‑quest.
In Angelique (GBA), the cosmos is overseen by a reigning queen whose power is fading, putting the entire universe at risk and demanding a new monarch. Seventeen‑year‑old Angelique Limoges, a student of the Royal Smallney Girls' Academy, is singled out when she alone witnesses a mysterious rider on a horse soaring across the sky, marking her as the Queen’s chosen candidate. The other contender is Rosalia‑De‑Catargena, and both are whisked to the Flying City – the Holy Land where the current Queen and her aide Dia await.
There, each candidate receives a plot of land to develop, racing to finish first and claim the throne. The nine Guardians can either boost their own realm or sabotage the rival’s, and bonds formed with these beings may blossom into romance, steering the ending toward love rather than rulership.
