Look, don’t crucify me, but as a teen, I sold Suikoden 2. I didn’t care to keep it in my library, and that’s despite being a turn-based fanatic. I couldn’t tell you what my thought process was when I came to that decision, but I regret it. Not only because, as a collector, it hurts knowing that I relinquished such a gem, but because it’s tied to dear memories. Stupidly, I allowed the valuation to cloud my judgment. it’s true that Konami plans to re-release it and the first in a po...

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a retro-JRPG throwback that delivers with great characters, an engaging story, and fun gameplay progression.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has had a rocky road to release. The latest (and, sadly, final) game from legendary Suikoden creator Yoshitaka Murayama is a beautifully executed JRPG that feels both modern and nostalgic. Above all else, it's a game where the developer's passion for the genre is evident in everything from the storyline to the battles.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a robust remembrance of JRPGs from a bygone era. Despite some of the more archaic design elements of that generation seeping through the cracks, this spiritual successor to Suikoden offers a comforting and familiar experience that feels inherently nostalgic. Between engaging characters, a diverse world, alluring combat, and more, Hundred Heroes is proof that this sub-genre is timeless, even at its roots.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a spiritual successor to the Suikoden series, even helmed by the game’s original creator. It follows Nowa, a fresh recruit ready to prove their worth. As war brews on the horizon, political machinations start to unravel as Nowa and his team are set to save the la

There is no doubt that the vision Rabbit & Bear Studios had behind Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes yearns for JRPG classics - with Suikoden at the heart (and history) of many of the team. This has many benefits, with a world fit for a grand adventure, and a combat system beaming with countless intricacies, but with that anachronism comes some roadblocks too.

As an aggressively old-school role-playing game, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes suffers in areas like combat, side quest design and balance but makes up for it with the story, extensive cast and strong presentation.

My review of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is quite late, but that's partially by design due to performance issues with the Switch version. 505 Games has now released a patch to address them. Did it do the trick?Read More

If there’s one thing that can be said about Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, it’s that fans of role-playing games from the late 1990s will instantly connect with it. A lot of the same characteristics that made up the classics of the genre from that era are here in a big…

And two: the amount of micro-managing of a team is an absolute headache. Just sorting through equipment is annoying, especially when paired with a less-than-exciting but unfortunately necessary upgrade system that makes maintentance even more granular. That isn't even considering the actual swapping in and out of characters, their positions on the battlefield to maximize effectiveness, their abilities, and which runes to give them based on their roles. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a game with over 100 characters. It's inexcusable to not streamline menu, UI, and party management in a wa...
