“Briefly, the Change model runs like a dumpster fireplace and appears just like the trash inside stated dumpster. I’ve misplaced a number of hours of progress to display freezes and a crash to the Change house menu, and it’s solely doable that I’ve spent much more time than that simply watching loading screens or ready for the menus to cease hitching. The body charge jumps in all places, and slows considerably throughout the strategic battle battles which are as unattractive as they’re pointless. There’s sufficient of a multitude right here that I’m undecided 100 patches could be sufficient to scrub it up.”

“Hundred Heroes doesn’t carry out properly on Change both. Fortunately, there have been just a few patches that have been pushed out throughout the overview interval that alleviated some early points…As a Suikoden successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is probably devoted to a fault. Its battle story is best than these present in most Hearth Emblem video games, and its vibrant solid of characters are a spotlight. The turn-based battle system is without doubt one of the greatest I’ve skilled of its variety lately, too. It’s only a disgrace that frustratingly retro RPG design and missing quality-of-life options put a damper on the entire journey.”

“Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is the true religious successor to the Suikoden collection, capturing what made these video games magical and increasing on the premise a hundred-fold. It tells a well-written and verbose story of braveness and endurance, however adherence to some pretty brutal old-school design precepts means it will not enchantment to everybody.”
