Shining Resonance Refrain coming to Switch this winter

Sega’s Shining series is back after more than a decade in mothballs. Shining Resonance Refrain is a remaster of a PlayStation 3 title that was originally released only in Japan. The game will come with dual audio featuring the Japanese and English voiceovers.

As the name suggests there’s a brand new ‘Refrain’ mode which mixes up original game.

With real-time action combat, it will be important to utilise each party member’s unique abilities and strengths while deepening relationships with each character. Through events and dates, get to know your party members to unlock their full potential on the battlefield! Depending on the bonds of the characters, “Resonance” may occur between them, providing a new level of support, leading to victory.

Master the B.A.N.D. System

Dragoneers wield Armonics, ancient weapon-instruments, in order to perform mystical and powerful Rune Songs. Once you build enough BPM (Battle Performance Mana), your party will be able to perform a session through the B.A.N.D. system. Depending on which song you play and which character you set at the centre, your party will be able to indulge in various beneficial effects. Certain characters may even perform the song in a special costume!

Draconic Launch Edition

Those who pre-order Shining Resonance Refrain on PS4, Xbox One X, and Nintendo Switch, will receive the game in a collectable metal slipcase, featuring character artwork of Excella, Sonia, and Kirika. For more information please visit shiningresonance.com.

We will be getting the game here in Australia with the collectible case. It’s probably not something you should delay preordering if you’re keen.
