Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

For all the old schoold Suikoden fans, this is for you. Great JRPG, provides many hours of entertainment.

So.....I originally wrote a very scathing review of this title and I stand by the majority of my reasons for that review. I can't recommend this game to everyone, but giving it a second try and seeing this for what it is, a flawed overly ambitious spiritual successor to an older title that forsake it's more serious tone for a Saturday morning cartoon vibe, with a good visual style, I began to find myself enjoying it. Yes, the interface is terrible, the inventory system is terrible, the lack fo character depth is terrible, the scripted duels is terrible, the fishing is meh, the card game is eh, and the top spinning game is horrendous, and I am sure I can go on about features I haven't encountered yet. The enemies hit way too hard, 2 shotting my party members constantly. All my mages are earth mages because they kiss it in every battle they fight in. Bosses have the hit point values of end game bosses from a Trails game, and dungeon length and complexity in some areas (Proving Grounds) is beyond the Pale for when they appear. Without a guide there is no way someone could find all the heroes or even half the town unlocks. And despite this, over time, I started having fun with this game. Once I took a deep breath and decided to just enjoy it as it is, I found a lighthearted fun adventure buried underneath a ton of bad design decisions. So I won't reccomend this game to most people, and definitely not at full price. Go Play 8 Bit adventures 1&2, Chained Echoes, Rise of the Third Power, and Ara Fell first. Then get this on sale for $25 and you can have a pretty good time after you slog through the first 15 hours to the first war segment, which IMO is when the game begins to be fun. Original review below for context: I don't think I have ever met a game so hostile to letting the player enjoy it. Do you like the sound of nails on a chalkboard? Because that is the sound you get hear for every single random encounter and hoo boy is that rate turned up in the absolutely massive dungeons that are huge for absolutely no reason. That isn't an exxageration. The third major dungeon the abandoned mines has five save points and dozens of screens and took about 2 hours to clear just on its own. Do you like eye exams? Well you get to enjoy an obnoxious screen flicker every single time you open the menu (after 1-2 second pause), that resembles a better or worse part of an eye exam. You will need to access your menu alot becuase you begin with an inventory that holds 30 items. Sounds generous? It isn't. You can't stack more than 6 healing items ( 1 per party member), and that 30 accounts for gear, runes, and recoveery items. If you are 2 hours deep into one of those godawful dungeons you better be ready to toss some gear or backtrack all the way home. Which you need to do anyways because the ONLY way to change runes is back at town. Time is precious and this game has hour long breaks between save points, the fishing game is tedious, walking speed is slow. Everything is empty and unpolished, the heroes have almost no customization or distinctive abilities. I am so incredibly dissapointed with this game given the price it asked for. By comparison, you could purchase Chained Echoes, 8 Bit Adventures 1&2, and/ or Rise of the Third Power and you will have such a better experience.

Fun game, the mini games are a total pain though and really needed a lot more thought, but the story is pretty good. The battle system can get a bit boring over time since you spend most of it in Auto mode, but it was still interesting enough and the character selection was nice if not overwhelming.

GoooD

這個遊戲實際上非常有趣，到目前為止我沒有什麼可抱怨的。
