As an avid JRPG enthusiast, this game scratched all the itches I could have ever asked for from the spiritual successor to Suikoden. It's a bit rough around the edges at times, but it's more than charming enough, and the pacing is more than acceptable. I've heard a lot of complaints about it being too similar to Suikoden, but at the end of the day if the spiritual successor to Suikoden WASNT like Suikoden it would have been dead in the water.

It's a great experience, enjoyable story, and nostalgic throwback. All with maybe TOO much side content.

The game exists as a conduit to introduce players to the world of Eiyuden Chronicles. The gameplay is mediocre, the pacing is rough, and the sidequests are repetitive. However, the story and character writing are great, and leave you anticipating what part they will play in Hundred Heroes.

Meh game, but worth the play for story alone. It's cheap and on GamePass.

Straight-Lerping Hover Eagle. 5 Stars.
