Shining Resonance Refrain is the latest instalment in the long running a popular Shining series of role playing games. This time around there is a larger cast of new characters to unlock as well as plenty of other new features that help to keep the game play feeling fresh and engaging.

Opening a New Chapter

The action of Shining Resonance Refrain picks up where the last instalment left off and players get to follow the adventures of Yuma the swordsman and his large group of friends as they create mischief and mayhem as usual. The newly enhanced graphics help to make the characters really stand out and provides an extra dimension to the game, while the battle sequences are more engaging than ever with the added definition and depth that is just waiting to be enjoyed here.

Shining a Light

With its new characters and plenty of other extra features, Shining Resonance Refrain quickly proves that it is much more than simply a variation on a theme. While the game is sure to satisfy fans of the series and newcomers alike, the rather mismatched voiceover work is certainly nothing to write home about and is likely to turn some players off altogether.
