CJ always wish to get enough sleep at Residential area...haha! Basically this is 2.5D slash game. the game story is much more organized and at least you wonāt get loss in any mission. Beside that, the skills, equipment is easier to control. Ideal for those gamer who love simplicity.

It was a pleasant surprise for me. The characters are incredibly unique and the combat system is a 10/10. Yeah, the main story is weak but some of the dialogues are hilarious (e.g. there was a lady who wanted to string her husband up the eaves by his underwear). If you love this genre, you should definitely give it a shot.

A lighthearted prequel to [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1658280/Eiyuden_Chronicle_Hundred_Heroes/]Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes . Note for Suikoden fans : If youāre more interested in a Suikoden-like game, that would be Hundred Heroes. Rising, on the other hand, is not too much like it, except visually. It sets up some charactersā backstories, mainly CJ, Garoo, and Isha, who all appear in Hundred Heroes. However, if youāre not interested in a lighthearted, quest-a-thon, action JRPG, you can skip the prequel and still understand Hundred Heroes perfectly well. CJ arrives at New Nevaeh as part of a Rite of Passage for her family of scavengers, as she seeks a treasure even greater than what her father found before her in the townās quarry. Unfortunately, the town is in bad shape, and her conscience just wonāt allow her to say ānoā to the peopleās plights. Information ā¢ The Eiyuden Chronicle games are intended to be a spiritual successor to the Suikoden series. ā¢ Despite the point of above, the battle system of Rising is nothing like the Suikoden series. (Thereās a clip of the gameās battle system on the store page. There are probably plenty of videos on YouTube of Suikodenās. Explaining in text the difference between the two would be lengthy.) ā¢ There is no difficulty setting (except for post-game when āHard Modeā becomes available for re-fighting bosses). However, from my perspective, the game is beginner-friendly. While the boss battles are a bit challenging, as long as the player knows when to dodge and when to strike, they should be able to get through them. ā¢ A very quest-heavy game. Countless sidequests, along with the main quests. Sidequests are almost exclusively fetch quests (āgo get this item for meā quests). ā¢ There is a fishing mini-game. The player must hit a sequence of buttons without making a mistake. The timer is fairly generous, so most people should be able to do this without issue. ā¢ Donāt know if thereās a more official name for this type of puzzle, but Iād call them ācomplete the lineā puzzles. The player has to rotate tiles to complete a line for magic to flow from one point to another. Iām pretty bad at puzzles, but I found these to be quite easy, so people who like puzzles will probably think theyāre not at all challenging enough. ā¢ The game worked perfectly with my PS5 (DualSense) controller. I didnāt need to use mouse/keyboard whatsoever. Praises ā¢ Available in ten different languages with two variations of a language. Spain Spanish and Latin America Spanish? Well, isnāt that fancy. ā¢ Good music. Definitely JRPG-style sound effects. ā¢ Decent humor. The relationship between CJ and her reluctant spelunking partner Garoo is quite amusing; she wants to help everyone and he just wants to help himself. ā¢ Lovely anime art. Character designs have been inspired by Suikoden. ā¢ I really like the backgrounds to areas; some are pretty. There are even objects in the foreground to give it a more 3D feeling. ā¢ There are three sidequests involving procuring a cat. Complaints ā¢ Most sidequests are uninteresting, which makes doing a lot of them tedious and boring. My main motivation for doing them all was the Steam achievements and baqua (money). ā¢ I wish there was a way to more easily avoid enemies, because a lot of the sidequests have the player revisiting areas with super weak enemies and theyāre really just not worth the time. ā¢ Platforming is frustrating at times. Getting the characters to jump just right seems flawed. ā¢ Not a single dark-skinned character in the whole game. I know theyāre trying to make it like Suikoden, but thatās one of the things they shouldnāt be striving for. ā¢ Several achievements for Hard Mode, which makes 100%-ing the game less accessible to JRPG beginners. I definitely didnāt feel like fighting all the bosses again either. The story didnāt actually get all that interesting until toward the end, when more serious story plots and subplots are revealed. Overall, I feel mostly neutral about this game. It is just supposed to be an intro for the main game: Hundred Heroes, so Iām not taking it too seriously. I didnāt hate it, so itās getting a positive review.

I had such a great time playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising. Relatively simple combat (though not always easy), side-scrolling dungeon exploration, town improvement, and (sometimes grindy) questing/resource collection are paired with gorgeous HD-2D graphics and a lovable cast of characters. I frequently found myself admiring the vibrant colors and quality of the backgrounds in town and the movements of the character sprites, both during action and idle animations. I particularly loved Isha's floaty, ethereal style of walking and the way her blue braids swished around her when she moved. Story-wise, it's a feel-good tale of friendship, overcoming obstacles, and reconciling with the past. CJ, Garoo, and Isha became such a lovable trio to me. At one point, they put their hands together in a huddle as if to say, "GO, team!"āand I was cheering right along with them. CJ's unwavering optimism and sense of adventure, Garoo's gruff sarcasm that hides a big heart, and Isha's courteous, if abrupt, practicality made them all come to life so wonderfully. Even the NPCs in the town all had distinctly enjoyable personalities. To me, the combat was very unique. You start with only one playable character (CJ), but later have two and eventually three. Each party member has their own distinct weapon, movement style, and special skill. These weapons and skills also each have their own unique upgrade paths that unlock new and interesting ways of traversing the terrain and fighting enemies. Each character is controlled by a single button (e.g., X, Y, or B on a controller), which is used to switch to that character and also for attacking. The special skill button triggers the skill of the character that is currently active. These mechanics allowed me to strategize and experiment with different ways of approaching certain platforming challenges or exploiting enemy weaknesses. It was fantastic! I found the game to be quite addictive and powered through most of it during the course of a weekend. It was fun and straightforward to achieve 100% and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

A fun side-scrolling RPG. The story is based around a team of three people exploring a place called the rune barrows for treasure, and each one of them has their own reasons for doing so. The game world is fairly small, with just 5 main areas. Make no mistake, it's grindy as hell, you have to keep clearing out the same areas over and over again to find crafting components and quest items, especially if you want to complete all the side quests (which are mainly fetch quests). Despite the grind it's a lot of fun. The art style is pretty and the music is nice. The fast travel system is great and you can move around the world easily. The story is okay, it's not that deep but the characters are fun and have some good dialogue, although there is no voice acting. The game is fairly easy, but you can unlock hard mode on completion, and can then play new game+. I recommend this game for a simple, relaxing and fairly short rpg experience.
