So Phantasy Star II - Shilka's Adventure is this weird little text adventure spin-off from the Genesis era—basically a side story where you play as Shilka, a bored rich girl on Motavia who decides to spice up her life by turning to crime. Not exactly the hero’s journey you’d expect from a Phantasy Star game, right?

It’s all menu-driven, with that classic late-80s Sega aesthetic—blocky text, simple choices, and a surprising amount of personality for something so stripped down. You’ll pick dialogue options, decide whether to steal stuff or talk your way out of trouble, and slowly unravel why someone with money to burn would go full outlaw. The writing’s got that old-school charm, even if the translation’s a bit rough.

Honestly, it’s more of a curiosity than a must-play, but if you’re deep into Phantasy Star lore or just love obscure Sega oddities, it’s a neat time capsule. Just don’t expect much action—this one’s all about the story.
