Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is an RPG featuring an enthralling universe and an atypical, hyper-dynamic combat gameplay.

Embark on a journey through an enthralling universe, on the verge of collapsing following the fragmentation of planet Mahera.

Play as Chado and his companions, traveling through the celestial islands on their flying ship. After a crash-landing on one of the most hostile of the celestial islands, you find yourself in the middle of a conflict involving multiple kingdoms. However, this explosive situation might find a peaceful outcome, with Chado's new-found unique ability to perceive and communicate with the Shiness, a mysterious spirit imbued with magic.


You play as Chado, a young and adventurous Waki able to communicate with a spirit from nature, the Shiness, and who masters the element of Earth. You will helped by Poky, an engineering genius able to repair anything mechanical, who is able to manipulate magnetic fields and electrical currents. Kayenne is a powerful Shelk warrior, who harnesses the psychic gif of Telekinesis; with this power, he may interact with the environment remotely, or paralyze enemies in battle. Askel is a fearsome mercenary, whose whip is destructive in combat, but is also useful during exploration to retrieve items normally out of reach. Finally, Rosalya use the Fire element to disperse darkness, reveal hidden items or enemies, or inflict heavy damage during combat.

Complementarity between the members of your team will play an important role, as much during exploration as in the dynamic, 1 versus 1 combats of Shiness. Once in the arena, it's up to you to adopt the best timing for chain punches, kicks, magic attacks and destructive combos. During these duels, your companions can intervene to replace the lead fighter, or help them when required. Task your teammates with healing you when your health is down or to cast a spell to boost your strength at the start of every fight, and wisely use the Elemental affinities of each characters to weaken your enemies.

Key Features:

  • Travel through an enthralling and interactive world with 5 companions, and develop your characters.
  • Hyper-dynamic combat, mixing magic with fighting games combat mechanics (hits, combos, parry, etc...)
  • Develop 2 skill trees (physical attacks and magic) and unlock new talents and spells
  • Explore a vast world with multiple environments, that you will interact with thanks to you and your companions' special powers and skills.
