Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Review - Nostalgic JRPG Brilliance

Thank you for watching,

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes emerges as a commendable homage to the beloved Suikoden series. It excels with a rich narrative full of intricate character dynamics and an engaging war story, supported by a vast character roster and beautiful, modern-traditional art design. Strategic gameplay elements add depth, though the game’s tendency to autopilot and underutilized open world might not satisfy players seeking a more interactive RPG experience.

I've never been left more confused by a review than this one..

[morriganrenfield]

Personally I'm quite glad the protag is voiced. Unless its a game with no voice acting i never want that...and even then i want them to be a written character lol.

[rafe]

Complaining that the main character is voiced and has a personality is very weird. Also a 7.5 does not deserve the title “jrpg brilliance”

[ScottLufkin]

Isn’t just observing your character through the story kind of how every JRPG works? I don’t remember dragon quest 11 or any Final Fantasy where my choices mattered, for example?

[Donjuan]

7.5?!? How does that support “JRPG Brilliance”??

[inuart]

wait, 7.5? "a nostalgic jrpg experience that shoul be played by all fans of the genre" that sound very confusing for me

[mav_from_the_loo]

My respect for Noisy Pixel is down down down

[Shadowmyst]

Thanks! Big Suikoden fan here. Glad you also enjoyed the game.

Lol instead of rolling your eyes because your audience thinks your review is bad, have you considered the review might just be bad? You’re reviewing on a platform with comments.

Take the feedback and get better.

This review was so condescending lol

[TheSuperBeebie]

"It feels like you're experiencing someone else's story."

Have you ever played a video game before? Have you read any books? Have you watched any movies? We're always experiencing someone else's story. I'm baffled by this complaint in the video.

[tdotran]

I’ll wait for the physical release on the Switch. Game looks great. Thank you for the review.

[GamersReckoning]

2-4 encounters in dungeons? We must be playing a different game or you just ran straight past ever chest or hidden area. Also love the voice acting and the fact that there is so much and it so well done shows how far these types of games have come since the 90's.

Honestly it feels like the reviewer has no appreciation for the history of the genre and could care less what they are even reviewing here. Been playing it the past two days and grew up playing games like this and it brings me back to those days with adding a ton of quality features. For me it's a 9/10. Would be a 10/10 but there are some graphical problems like bad shadowing on the surroundings also there are a lot of load times.

Everyone has their own opinion but I hope more folks try this out. Especially if they have Gamepass on Xbox. Cheers.

Thanks for the review! Was hoping for something on the level of Suikoden 2 but modernized with new design sensibilities :(

[sombrego]

It's been reported by Kickstarter backers that there was an issue on an old build where battles were too rare.
I've been playing on the deluxe edition and I actually have a pretty decently high encounter rate.

Just wanted to share that info.

[otakamerd]

It’s just okay so not sure how it could be described as “brilliance” when other games on the market have this one beat lol

[fikmomo]

From your review it sound like suikoden 2 and 5 which is i dont understand why you make it sound like it bad. I cant wait to play all of those minigame tho

[teasjams]

"How can you ALLOW your players to rely on an auto battle system" ...and you lost me. Too many devs feel like it's their job to dictate game play, which in my humble opinion is a common and terrible mistake. The games I've enjoyed the most after 30+ years of game playing are the ones that give the player the freedom to choose. I for one am extremely glad they "allowed" me to used auto battle.

[countquackula]

If an RPG channel is giving this game a 7, I'm a bit concerned.

[Senumunu]

apparently the low encounter rate is a review build bug
they will fix it on release

[Sagasaurus]

I'm so on the fence. I feel like, given how rare a jrpg is is, especially a turn based sprite one, I really want them to be masterpieces. And more importantly, I want the stories to reflect the amazing stories that defined JRPGs.

It's tough seeing a new jrpg come out and it's all just okay and spectacle.
