This is just a slice of nostalgia. Great story, great team members. It left me wanting more, but also satisfied. quick hit list: Pros: + Great combat. The mechs feel like Xenogears (that's why you looked at it). +Kicking Soundtrack. I put some of the songs on my Spotify rotation. +Diverse party who all have a function. Double ++ for a lizardman berserker caster. Tragic backstory and hella fun to use. +feels like a classic SNES rpg but with modern comforts. By the late game you can get or go anywhere you need/want to. +Kickass boss fights. They'll challenge you just enough. +Lots to do, from sidequests to gear and item farming. +Overall story is great. the writing ranges from great to OK. It keeps you involved. Cons: -The crystal system for weapon and gear upgrades is jank AF. I learned how it should work, but that was far in. You could break the game if you know what you need to do early. It's like FF8 Junction system jank; tricky but easy to break if you know what you're doing. -Great cast of main characters, but some are just better than others in combat. to each their own. -Encounters, even just regular ones, can F you up. It wants you to know the games systems. You need to do regular upgrades to feel safe/strong. This goes back to the crystal system.
Biggest cons are - 1. The sky armor fights are terrible. Wish they didn't exist. 2. Navigating the crystals, combining, removing etc. is a huge pain in the ass. 3. Finding certain paths, areas to climb or jump over is sometimes extremely difficult. 4. Side quests are oddly placed. Besides those 4, the game is still a really engaging story and a great successor to fans of Chrono Trigger. You can clearly see the inspiration from games like CT, FF9, FF7 and others in the game.
This wasn't a game, it was a journey. It was a great one from its graphics to QOL to story. EXTREMELY UNDERRATED. If you feel like playing a JRPG you should for sure play Chained Echoes. Everything is perfect, though the story might feel grand and some part of it might not make sense sometimes and there were some parts I weird about, that being said there were also great plot twists and the characters felt so alive(well at least for me). Overall this is a great game id love to recc! 8.8/10
---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS The game features beautiful hand drawn 16bit sprites. The whole game is absolutely gorgeous. The one thing I have a bit of a nit pick is that I wish that the character portraits had more reactions to what was happening, having them be just the single face didn't do much when it comes to more serious aspects of the game. Otherwise I think the backgrounds are amazing and kuddos to the people who created them. One thing I forgot to mention. I wish this game would tone it down with the flashes, I went to the options to disable it but it just replaced the white flashes with grey flashes. ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't The gameplay is one of the focus points of this game but also one that disservices it the most. The combat is incredibly deep and somewhat varied. It features a party swap system that I'd never seen before and makes your whole party very dynamic. However, the issue is that the enemies are way too difficult. They're very spongy and take way too long to take down. Sometimes even knocking out one of your party members in a single turn. I had to turn the difficulty down to go past some enemies and I honestly kept it in easy just to enjoy the story. If this team makes a new game I would recommend making the enemies easier and the bosses harder. A lot of the time the enemies were extremely more difficult than the bosses themselves. I liked how your characters gain levels via GS, while it's ok, it really had me focus on HP due to the enemies being difficult. The shard system is a good idea that even though it works, it was way too bothersome to have me, as a player, deal with it whenever I got a new party member or a new weapon. Simplify it or get rid of it altogether for the next game. I also wish that the skill menu was scrollable so I could have more than 6 skills per character. But it was fine honestly. I mostly kept a healer at all times in my party spamming AOE heals. The sky armor sections are fun honestly. I really like their combat mechanics with the gear system. I think that the way the gear upgrades is fine, however a lot of the times I felt like it was a waste of money because I'd find better gear than my currently upgraded gear and replace it. Thank you for adding an optimize button in the equipment system. ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf The audio is great, I never felt like it was off or odd, it managed to blend in correctly and it improved the game in the right way. ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☐ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma This is not a game for children. Maybe teens can appreciate it but I think there might be some complex topics. However, I think adults and teens can enjoy it just fine. ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer The only time I felt like it's sluggish was right after booting up the game and starting a dialogue, it seems like it's loading some library into memory to process the text and it freezes for two seconds but never happens again until after booting up again ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☑ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data Nothing to comment. It's a 2D sprite game, not going to be too big. ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☑ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls Like I commented before, I really think the difficulty needs to be reviewed, as I don't think this game lands as an extremely difficult game, but would of a casual JRPG with very fun combat. ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☑ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding Sometimes I had to grind for materials and money to keep my healing items and party fully upgraded, but in 10 minutes you can be maxed out because if you transition screens the materials respawn. ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☑ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life The story is the best part of this game. I won't spoil it or to into great detail but it makes sense in the universe it's trying to set itself up and doesn't disappoint. The biggest highlight of the game. It seems like most thread points are wrapped up. I think the story makes sense, and clearly points to a sequel, some games have some problems wrapping up the story but this was done tastefully. ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☑ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond It took me around 35h and I did most of the game content. It felt just right. Congrats on the developers :) ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money For 25€ it felt like a great price for the experience. ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs Didn't have any bugs. ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10 Well worth your time if you want to experience a great JRPG made in Europe. ---{ Author }--- ☑ https://vojtastruhar.github.io/steam-review-template
After completing Chained Echoes and getting all the achievements, I consider this one of the best turn-based RPGs I've ever played. The combat is interesting and stays challenging up until the end, there is plenty to explore and hidden secrets to uncover, and the story is well-written and at times emotionally moving. I'm really impressed with this game, you can tell the developers made it with a lot of heart. The only aspect I would change is the crystal system, because it gets cumbersome when you have dozens of crystals that you want to sort through and manually combine. You can use auto-combine, but it's not the same. I also would've appreciated an endgame crystal merchant to make collection simpler. Thankfully, you don't necessarily need to dive deep into the crystal system, except maybe in the endgame stage. If you like classic Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest type roleplaying games, give this one a chance. I definitely recommend it!
