Apr 21, 2024Lovely characters, stylish 2D HD graphics and a catchy soundtrack - it could have been so nice if performance weaknesses and accumulated interruptions hadn't noticeably spoiled the experience.

Edge MagazineMay 16, 2024These smart updates to the classic RPG formula mean the wilfully archaic design choices that remain in place stand out all the more. [Issue#398, p.110]

Apr 30, 2024Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a game that requires your familarity with nostalgia to fully appreciate many hours needed to finish it. Fans of jRPGs should be happy, but everyone else need to understand: there's absolutely no guarantee you will enjoy it.

Apr 21, 2024Maybe Hundred Heroes doesn’t have me ready to run outside screaming about miracles, but I’m plenty satisfied and ready to go back and fill in some old, classic JRPG blind spots. Well, after I replay Tierkreis.

Apr 21, 2024There is - or at least, I want there to be - a great game here, with combat that structurally emulates what made Suikoden so memorable and recognisable and a world filled with countless varied characters.

Apr 22, 2024Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes is a good, deliberately old-fashioned JRPG with all the pros and cons. As a love letter to Suikoden it hits the mark despite some uncertainties, but the biggest problem at the moment are the bugs we encountered during the review, some very serious and impossible to ignore. Wait patiently for the bugfixes.

Apr 21, 2024Whether or not you’re a fan of Suikoden II, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is just about worth your time. Unfortunately, almost every high point in Nowa's adventure is met with a painful low, making for a disjointed experience bursting with forgettable minigames and characters.

May 21, 2024Eiyuden Chronicle exists in a difficult to navigate space for fans of Suikoden. It includes pretty much everything that made the Konami RPG series special, but fails to deliver its feeling of desperation and somberness. JRPG fans will likely enjoy it more than Suikoden fans. [Recommended]

Apr 21, 2024Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has some old school habits, and they can be difficult to live with at first, but once you settle into those quirks, it's a story you'll struggle to put down. The sense of journey is magnificent, as you march across snowy valleys, lush jungles, and dusty deserts, sweeping up buds along the way. And you regularly partake in moments that'll genuinely surprise, forever keeping your quest from getting stale. Expect one-on-one fights, cinematic song, and races of some description. If you're a fan of Suikoden, it's a no-brainer. And if you're a fan of JRPGs or struggle a bit with old-fashioned things, I'd still urge you to give it a shot. It's a really lovely hang.
