About Shining
Sega’s Shining series splits into first-person dungeon crawlers, the beloved Shining Force tactics games, and the later action-RPG era ending with Resonance Refrain in 2018. The Force games are the peak.
Good to know
Start with Shining Force or Shining Force II. The eras barely connect.
