Shining Force Refrain
SCORE: 59
How does Sega stay in business? They make
bad decision after bad decision. They continue to trample the legacy of
the Shining series with horrible games like Shining Force Refrain. This
is an action adventure role playing game like the Tales games. Shining
Force Refrain also has dating that encourages sexual deviancy.
The issues families will have with Shining Force Refrain are violence,
bad language, nudity, lack of attire, enticement to lust, magic, and
more. The main character has the soul of a long dead dragon within him.
He can transform in battle and fight with you. We see the enemies in the
field, go to them and it triggers a battle circle where we fight.
The extremely long cut scenes can be skipped in Shining Force Refrain.
Shining Force Refrain can be played in the original mode or the refrain
mode. This game was originally on the PS3 and it shows. The American
voice actors are average at best. The lack of emotion from them almost
put me to sleep. Battles in Shining Force Refrain get really boring too.
Shining Force Refrain looks like a PS3 game. We have two major attacks
and magic. The shield break attack can be very handy to getting an enemy
defenseless. The story in Shining Force Refrain is standard normal
Japanese role playing cliches that have been used so many times that it
shocks me if anyone buys this game ever.
Characters can swap costumes and dress differently. Why are bikinis
needed for the female characters? That does not scream battle against
monsters to me. The areas are a bit small in my opinion. Shining Force
Refrain starts with a tutorial and that comes up every time we come
across something new.
Shining Force Refrain was not translated when it was on the PS3. We did
not miss anything though. After playing it on the PS4 I can say that
with complete and total confidence. Don’t buy this game.
