Shining Tears

The game is presented using hand-drawn 2D graphics and backgrounds. For battles the players may choose from 8 unlockable companions, each with their own unique powers, strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, the co-op system lets two players cooperate in battles, pulling off special combo moves and leveling up their characters together. The companion you pick changes Xion to the opposite 'soul', dark or light, due to the nature of the Twin Dragon Rings, with correspondingly different powers. In single-player mode the player has their companion AI to help them out of tight spots.
