There was a chess board battle in the Genesis game Shining Force II, is that what you're thinking of?

I remember one Genesis Game, I played it on Sega Channel. Anyway it involved selections of monsters and a fight on something chessboard like. It was isometric or top down. When you defeated an enemy they were added to your selection. There was a part in the game which allowed for merging of monsters in (a) big tube(s).. I remember a pink ooze being fused with some monstrous humanoid and the result being roughly that monster covered with the pink.
