Developed by Amusement Vision and published by THQ, Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon arrived on the Game Boy Advance in 2004 as a role-playing game.

It is part of the Shining Force series. The series also appears on other systems with Shining Force II (Genesis) and Shining Force (Genesis).
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
- you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
- you are looking for something to play with friends
- you only have a few minutes at a time
What playing Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon is like
Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.
Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
