In the process of passing the player will visit many locations, each of which is fraught with dangers and unique rewards.Īs with any decent RPG game, in Chained Echoes you get to choose your character class. The plot is made according to the classic scenario for the genre - the main character, along with his allies, travels the world, performing various tasks and trying to put an end to the long-term war between three countries. Thanks to this, the developers managed to preserve the atmosphere of 16-bit role-playing games, harmoniously combining them with advanced gameplay solutions.

It complements the mechanics of retro games with modern technologies and systems. The setting of the game is stylized as classic RPGs and action games of the past.

Additionally, some characters were cool conceptually but pretty useless in game. The main mechanic that brings the game down for me is the crystal system being complete RNG and the crafting system. Mechanics/Battle system: 7/10 (The overdrive system is a fun and unique system, didnt have any issues with it.

Polish: 10/10 (Experienced 0 bugs during my entire playthrough) Amazing world building, twists and detail put into this game) Story: 10/10 (honestly a highlight considering how lazy some indie games are when it comes to story and just putting together something boring and predictable. I highly recommend this game to any fan of the genre, and without going into any spoilers, hope that with all the rich world building and open questions a sequel gets announced. I have become, in recent years, one of those gamers that just wants to throw myself into the game, have fast action and don't care too much about story but Chained Echoes managed to bring back the old me that loves a gripping storyline, characters and sitting through cutscenes.

After completing the game and 100%ing the achievements, I can say that this is one of the best JRPGs I have played in quite some time.
