    Eiyuden 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]
  2. Eiyuden 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.
