So, is Shining Force Neo for you? Depends. If you were a fan of the Shining Force games on the Genesis and Saturn, probably not. This isn’t the turn-based strategy RPG you remember from those consoles. If you like the idea of an RPG that is really mostly an action game, you’ll probably like it. The fact is the franchise has reinvented itself fairly successfully. And while it does have some weaknesses, it is at its core a really fun and addictive play experience that will entertain for many, many hours.
