Jakejames Lugo of The Koalition writes: Japan first got Shining Resonance exclusively on the PlayStation 3 back in 2014 but was never translated for other regions. Luckily for everyone, however, SEGA decided to release an expanded version of the original game with polished visuals and more content onto the PlayStation 4. Shining Resonance Refrain is the complete original experience with all of the previously available downloadable content, as well as a new Refrain mode that adds more playable characters and new dialogue to story events. Though this is a definitive version of Shining Resonance, some poor design choices, a mediocre story, and harsh difficulty spikes roughen up an otherwise fun role-playing game.
