The protagonist, Yuma, has the ability to transform into a powerful dragon in combat. However, after a certain amount of time he can lose control and go berserk, so there’s a risk you’ll take when turning Yuma into a dragon.

 

Shining Resonance is slated for release in Japan on December 11, 2014 for PlayStation3 .
