    Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising has severe repetition, killing its momentum. Characters are likable & grow, presentation is top notch, and its gameplay structure has a certain satisfaction. However, the main story is overshadowed by filler for minimal reward. Combat takes too long to become enjoyable & grinding is required to upgrade characters but doesn't impact actual game difficulty. This is a decent 15hr story turned into a 35hr completion slog for those who choose to do it. Proceed with caution.

    Great kickstarter stretch goal game serving as a prequel to the much larger rpg coming later.

You're looking at 10-20+ hours of gameplay depending on how fast you are and how focused on the main story or side quests you are. That being said, I love it! I am not put off by side scrollers, and I loved Odin sphere so the marionette style of characters are charming. I love gathering materials and the simple but fun battle style.
    This game was an award to the backers for making a stretch goal, an appetizer to tide us over until the main title is finished. I think it's lovely that they did this for us, and for a game put out in such a short amount of time I can't complain. The environments are great, the soundtrack is good, and it's definitely something that you can find yourself just committing to for the weekend in order to finish it.    … Full Review »
