By dint of sword, and by way of magical objects known as "rune-lenses," the land's history has been shaped by the alliances and aggressions of the humans, beastmen, elves, and desert people who live there.

    The Galdean Empire has edged out other nations and discovered a technology that amplifies the rune-lenses' magic. Now, the Empire is scouring the continent for an artifact that will expand their power even further.

    It is on one such expedition that Seign Kesling, a young and gifted imperial officer, and Nowa, a boy from a remote village, meet each other and become friends. However, a twist of fate will soon drag them into the fires of war, and force them both to reexamine everything they believe to be right and true.

    Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes is designed to bring players a modern take on a classic JRPG experience. Get ready to lead 100+ playable characters through a war-torn world only you can save.    … Expand

    Murayama and the rest of the fine folks at Rabbit And Bear did it. They've created a masterwork. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes may have one foot firmly planted in the past, but make no mistake, its other foot is lunging forward into the future.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a worthy title on the JRPG genre and a faithful successor to the Suikoden series, offering an intriguing story with a wide and variate cast of characters alongside a extensive content resulting in plenty of hours of fun to play.

It has an excellent story and characters, a challenging and fun combat system, as well as a vast amount of content to explore, all wrapped up in a package with great graphics and soundtrack. It is a must-have title for fans of the genre.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes mainly delivers what the developers promised. It's a mostly very classical JRPG experience with beautiful graphics and great music. But while fans of the 90's JRPGs might get anything they love about these classics here, they also get nearly everything, that they might hate about them.

    On its own, Eiyuden Chronicle is a very successful game, a throwback to the golden age of the genre. However, it is a great risk for both players and itself that it does not offer anything new by swimming in completely guaranteed waters. Especially when you consider that Suikoden I & II HD Remaster is coming out soon.

    Despite boldly declaring “the JRPG is back” and then doing absolutely nothing new with the genre, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a decent, traditional JRPG that will tickle anyone who adored the classic PlayStation titles of the late nineties. Its modern affordances in visual design and voice acting bring this nostalgic adventure into the present day, but it is let down by sluggish, repetitive combat and some missed opportunities when it comes to utilising its massive roster of characters. Fans of Suikoden will likely already have this pre-ordered — for everyone else, check this out if you’re looking for a nostalgic romp and don’t mind a few speed bumps along the way.

    Even hardcore fans of the Suikoden series will have a hard time finding a reason to play the spiritual successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. The protagonists are bland, the challenge of the combat non-existent, its story uninspired and the myriad bugs a constant source of frustration.
