Engaging and nostalgic 2D-HD art style
Deep, turn-based combat system with party customization
Adheres heavily to retro mechanics, which may feel dated to some players
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a JRPG that embraces a classic turn-based formula reminiscent of the Suikoden series. Critics praised the game’s compelling cast of characters, nostalgic 2D-HD visuals, and a deep, engaging combat system. The story successfully weaves multiple character arcs, but some found its adherence to retro RPG mechanics and a slow narrative pace less appealing. Technical issues on specific platforms, especially the Switch, also hampered the experience, though fans of traditional JRPGs will appreciate its depth and charm.
