    This is an enjoyable adventure that doesn’t do anything particularly remarkable, but will entertain those who like action, RPG and platforming and want to know more about its universe.

    A short game that doesn’t outstay its welcome, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising was an enjoyable, if slightly repetitive, experience that serves as an ample teaser for something bigger.

    Eiyuden Chronicle Rising show great ambitions and keeps most of these promises even if it gets lost at times. A good introduction to the new universe by the creators of Suikoden, Rabbit & Bear.

    You know what you’re getting into with Rising. There’s treasure to be found, a town to be restored, and new friends to make. To that end, my recommendation is based on your reaction to that premise. Are you thrilled by the prospect of elevating a town to its full potential? Do you relish the thought of digging up treasure with a growing cast of companions? If so, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is just what you’ve been looking for. Otherwise, I suggest you proceed with caution.

    Nice retro-modern visuals can’t prevent this bitesize action RPG from the bloat of tedious filler, making Rising a weak appetiser for the forthcoming Hundred Heroes. [Issue#16, p.152]

    If you can stomach its disappointingly dull quests, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a solid enough action RPG. Some pretty visuals and a cosy JRPG vibe do a lot to mask its flaws.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a two-dimensional action game built on the precepts of Japanese role-playing. It is an enjoyable "JRPG lite" that doesn't require a great deal of commitment, and presents an interesting and enjoyable universe in which you want to linger. A game that doesn't do anything wrong, but doesn't do anything particularly remarkable either, and which serves as a prequel to the eagerly awaited Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

The animations are not the best but get the job done. This is being touted as a spiritual successor to the great Suikoden. Unfortunately, this game doesnt even come close. The main character is also very one dimensional and the supporting cast dont fair much better. Give this one a pass.… Full Review »

    Protagonista que de buena es tonta con unos compañeros que, con el intento de dar profundidad a sus historias, te intentan conmover con algunos hechos que les ocurrieron en el pasado que no dejan de ser o sacados de la manga o simplemente aburridos.

    Misiones secundarias que bien podrían haberse ahorrado porque madre de Dios que insufribles que son, 160 o más misiones de ve ahí y tráeme tal.

    Combate simple y al que es fácil de adaptarse pero ya podría evolucionar un poco porque es siempre lo mismo.

    Copia y pega de diseños de enemigos a lo largo de todo el juego.

    Exploración aburrida y mayormente sin recompensa.

    Y por último y los más importante:
    Donde mrda esta la historia, no cuentan nada a lo largo de esta, y al final del juego te quieren colar a presión lo que en 25 horas (si te aburres los suficiente para hacer misiones secundarias) no han querido.

    Basura completamente vamos.

    Ahora, el juego se ve bonito, pero hasta ahí.    … Full Review »
