Chained Echoes has stellar combat, a great skill progression system that alleviates the need for grinding, an interesting narrative, a likeable cast of characters each with unique playstyles, and solid pacing. Really enjoyed the visual style and OST as well. The mech combat admittedly wasn't my favorite and the crystal crafting system felt pretty underdeveloped but neither really bothered me enough to take away from my experience with the game. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
