Shining Resonance: Refrain is a must play for any fan of the genre, and the Refrain story makes it worth a buy for those who already played the JP-only original.

Refrain is a fun title with good combat, interesting characters, and some great voice acting that accompany a great translation.

Shining Resonance Refrain is the kind of game that can put on a solid performance, but it’s also abundantly clear that it doesn’t quite have the pipes to hit the high notes; it’s a good game, but not a great one.

The game is somewhat flawed and unambitious, for sure, but it’s still solidly made.

While the story is good, it’s nothing mind-blowing, and the repetitive gameplay, lack of variety, and frustrating lack of travel options might turn some gamers off.
