Prices are per version and are not interchangeable, and neither are the reviews: conversions in this era were often built by a different studio than the original, so a score earned on one machine says nothing about how another plays.

The Sega Genesis version
A competent but familiar shooter that costs more than most US carts.
On the Genesis this game is Sol-Deace, a horizontal shooter from Wolf Team published by Renovation Products in North America in March 1992. It began on the X68000 as Sol-Feace.
GamePro liked the Genesis version's detailed visuals, pumping soundtrack and stage design, but found the power-ups less impressive than those in Thunder Force III and disliked how short the game is. Sega Pro previewed it as an 8-megabit cartridge.
What the press said at the time
| Sega Pro Issue 36 | September 1994 | 56% |
“It’s tough to top the classics, but Sol-Deace comes very close. Despite these minor quibbles, Renovation’s latest will be a contender when the ‘92 shoot-’em-up award rolls around.”
“A CD conversion without the sound quality. Otherwise, there's very little difference between the two formats. A very average shoot"em-up.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Genesis cartridge renamed the game Sol-Deace. A period preview said it would come on an 8Mbit cart and lose the CD-quality sound and between-level animations of the Sega CD version.

The Sega CD version
A playable, straightforward shooter that adds voiced cutscenes but does not push the hardware.
This is the Sega CD version of Sol-Feace, developed by Wolf Team. It came out in Japan on 12 December 1991, one of the two Japanese launch games alongside Heavy Nova, then in North America on 15 October 1992 and in Europe on 2 April 1993. In North America the original Sega CD held it in the box, and the European unit came with it too. The Genesis cartridge is a different release, called Sol-Deace; here the cutscenes between stages have full voice acting.
Mega Tech called it a very decent shoot 'em up that is very playable, though it does not put the hardware to much use. Electronic Games called it a solid side-scrolling shooter for its sound effects, graphics and fast action, and credited Sega for making it a pack-in. Computer and Video Games judged it not a total waste of money.
What the press said at the time
| Electronic Games January 1993 | January 1993 | 87% |
| Computer + Video Games Issue 124 | March 1992 | 89 (86, 90, 87, 88) |
| Sega Pro Issue 24 | October 1993 | 44% |
“Sol Feace is all around a very good shooter, and Sega should be commended for its inclusion.”
“Sol-Feace, apart from being Wolf-Team's first Mega-CD game, is also a very decent shoot 'em up. Although it doesn't put the hardware to much use, the game itself is very playable. Worth checking out.”
“All that technology, memory, all thai speed and what do they do with Ihe Mega CD? A horizontally scrolling shoot em up.”
“If you’re kidding yourself that your Mega CD’s being used at all, then just replay Sonic 2 and see what the standard piece of kit is capable of - then go back to this and ask yourself is there’s really any change. … Not bad, but not a Mega CD game,”

Before you buy
Check that the case and manual belong to this game and that the disc has a printed label; at this tier nothing more is needed. The US loose disc sits below the middle for North American Sega CD games. The European disc usually costs somewhat less than the US one, and a Japanese disc usually costs well over double loose and about the same complete. Match the disc to the console: US for a North American Sega CD, European for a European Mega-CD, Japanese for a Japanese Mega-CD.
