Even the bonus dungeon after completing the game was just the castle from the end of SF Neo. I am going beyond this the developer chose, instead of creating completely new terrains, they recycled countless areas from SF Neo, only choosing to rename the areas (okay, MOST of them - they decided to keep the name of Cantore Village for some reason). I don't mean that simply from a gameplay perspective, although in essence, it's pretty much the same. However, I will not give it the same score because it is TOO much like Shining Force Neo. As for Shining Force EXA, I should give it the same grade in theory, if only because it borrows so much from SF Neo. I gave Shining Force Neo a solid review because it was a decent game that was ultimately satisfying, even with its flaws.

To sum it up, Shining Force is back in full force, so to speak. However, developer Neverland decided to bring the word back in a new action-based subseries, which includes Shining Force Neo, Shining Force EXA (being reviewed here), and the upcoming game for the DS, Shining Force Feather.

The series also sometimes dropped the word "Force", replacing it in such games as Shining Tears and Shining Soul. Many sequels and side-stories followed, and eventually, the series expanded beyond the strat-RPG genre to include direct action-RPG gameplay, not dissimilar to games such as Secret of Mana and Diablo in delivery. It has been considered as one of the gems of the Sega Genesis library (and a popular entry within the selection available on the Wii's Virtual Console channel). It had many solid elements supporting it: a memorable cast of characters, a strong focus on strategic planning, RPG aspects, and a chipper soundtrack.
