Is Shining Blade still worth playing in 2026?
A Sega tactical RPG, Shining Blade has Rage and his companions fight a threatening Empire in an epic fantasy context, blending turn-based battles, bonds between characters and the relationship simulation specific to the modern Shining branch. The careful art direction, the tactical system and the gallery of heroes appeal to fans, in a JRPG kept Japanese. The language barrier and the measured pace limit access. An estimable pick for fans of Japanese tactical RPG and the Shining universe on PSP.
