The first game, Shining in the Darkness can be compared to the early or the, in that the game is a 3D dungeon crawler with randomly encountered, turn-based battles. The next game released in the series was Shining Force, which can be compared to the, especially Shining Force's contemporary titles in the series, because of its turn-based strategy style with battle scenes acted out with. Other spin-offs include Shining Soul, which can be considered a Roguelike.

Over time though, the series has found a following and has carved its own niche, as there are newer releases not found on Sega consoles.
