✦ AI summary
Players consistently criticize the game for excessive mandatory grinding that gates story progression, with a combat system that relies more on stats than skill and devolves into repetitive button-mashing of single combos. The difficulty curve is poorly balanced and not adequately communicated to players, forcing them to grind for hours even on easy difficulty, while the story and characters are seen as clichéd and fail to compensate for the uninspired gameplay. Most reviewers recommend avoiding the game unless you're a desperate JRPG completionist willing to wait for a major sale.
Originally released in 2014, Shining Resonance is a unique JRPG with greatly enjoyable lore, an innovative combat system, and interesting mechanics. Refrain adds bonus content and additional playable characters. Had a great time through multiple playthroughs. Worth a look, especially for JRPG fans.57 found this helpful
Great soundtrack, somewhat interesting story and setting, but the fight system is not really good2 found this helpful
[i]Shining Resonance Refrain[/i] is a repetitive hack-and-slash ARPG with dating sim elements. Although the graphics are outdated, the game remains pleasant to look at thanks to the attractive character designs by popular illustrator Tony Taka. Grinding is necessary to gather crafting materials, empower your party, and level up to defeat bosses. The worst part is that benched party members do not receive XP, making the "Image Training" Aspect practically mandatory to get through the late game. If you don't mind grinding and anime tropes, and you enjoy cute anime waifus, this game is for you.1 found this helpful
- Boring story, boring dialogues. - Unclear side quests' instructions. - Visual Novel game when characters talk. - Too much grinding requirement to play. - No fast travel. - Repeatitive side quests. No wonder the game usually has big sale.1 found this helpful

Dragon song awakes steel and music intertwine hope rings in the note
