Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has a fantastic political-driven story, but it's bogged down by quality of life issues and performance problems.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes MSRP $49.99 Score Details “As a Suikoden successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is faithful to a fault.” Pros Cons It was only near the end of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes that I began to grow accustomed to its retro design. Throughout the RPG, I learned that I should pack as many healing and revival items as I could before a boss fight, but it still didn’t prepare me for what I was about to experience.
1 vs. 100 Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes follows Nowa, the resistance leader of the Alliance, as he gathers heroes from around the continent of Allraan to fight back against the tyrannical Dux Aldric and his Empire. What makes that story so engrossing is its constant shifts in allegiance between multiple parties. Some see the light and defect to Nowa’s side, while others betray the Alliance for their own selfish reasons.
Other non-battle characters can be recruited to help out with the Nowa’s headquarters, such as growing crops. The sheer variety of character types is reflected as they all hang around HQ, slowly contributing to the resistance force, and adds a layer of camaraderie and immersion to the experience. Teamwork makes the dreamwork Nowa travels all throughout Allraan in order to recruit allies to his cause while stopping Aldric’s henchmen from encroaching on various towns and dungeons. Sometimes, there’s no urgency in the plot; that’s Nowa’s cue to go out and recruit more people in order to move it forward. This gives plenty of breathing room in the game’s narrative between all of the political tension.Recruitable characters aren’t marked in any way on the map or field either.
Other battle twists make the core combat system even more engaging. There’s a system called Hero Combos, where certain character pairs will fire off cinematic teamwork attacks that deal tremendous damage to monsters if they’re both in the party. Hundred Heroes’ excellent mix of character sprite art and 3D environments make moments like that a dazzling sight to behold.
