Review of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes — Murayama's Final Masterpiece!

SUNDABET - Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a JRPG game created by the legend Yoshitaka Murayama (creator of Suikoden I&II) and Junko Kawano (Suikoden I&IV).

This game was the last game that Murayama worked on before he died some time ago. Eiyuden itself is highly anticipated by fans, especially fans of Murayama's previous work, namely Suikoden.

This latest JRPG game is the number 1 Kickstarter game in 2020, of course its presence is really eagerly awaited. Before Hundred Heroes is released, gamers can play its spin-off, namely Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, which was released in 2022.

On this occasion, Gamebrott was able to try Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes first. What is the game Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes like? In this article we will discuss our experience playing one of the most anticipated JRPG games this year.

The story opens with politics

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Presents a very interesting storyline. Telling some time after the prequel, Eiyuden Chronicle really describes Murayama's storytelling style.

This game begins with the story of a young boy named Nowa who is a villager who wants to go on an adventure. Nowa herself really reflects the character of the protagonist with her nature of wanting to intervene to help people.

At the beginning of the story, we were shown a little about the political situation in the world of Allraan, which is the name of the continent in this game, such as the existence of the League of Nations and also the Galdean Empire.

Of course, we can't explain in detail to avoid spoilers and keep the surprises for the players. But of course the expectations of gamers who think the game's storyline will be like the previous projects of these two legends will definitely be met.

Gameplay

In terms of gameplay, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes presents battles that are quite simple but full of calculations. The initial battle is quite challenging. And of course, the random encounters that are present really reflect JRPGs of the past.

For combat gameplay, Eiyuden of course uses the classic SUNDABET daftar system where players can attack, use skills (Lens or Runes), Defense, Team Skills, and also Items. Each round the player will get 1 Skill Point.

These Skill Points can be used to activate the skill lens to attack. However, not all lens skills use SP, for lens elements of course you will use MP to activate the skill.

Gimmick Battle Makes the Battle Not Monotonous

Not only classic battles, Eiyuden also presents several quite fresh fighting features, namely Gimmick Battle. This gimmick will be an option when using the Attack menu which aims to make the battle more lively.

There are many types of Battle Gimmicks ranging from taking cover behind rocks to avoid enemy attacks, taking treasure boxes protected by monsters, and many more. This is an interesting feature and makes the game less monotonous.

There is a 1v1 Duel

What is synonymous with Murayama's games, especially the Suikoden series, is 1 on 1 battles. And in the Eiyuden Chronicle game there will be several duel battles like this.

The combat is also quite simple with players choosing to attack, defend, or use special attacks. Even though it is simple, the battle feels very tense and epic.

Exploration with Puzzles

Exploration of locations in the game doesn't just run smoothly. Sometimes we have to turn around or do something to continue our journey, such as pressing a button or solving a puzzle to open a path.

In several locations there are also shortcuts that make travel easier if SUNDABET players register and log in so they can get in and out more easily. The game is also not stingy with save locations, where in one location there are several save points that can be used by players.

Old JRPG Style World Map

There are many things that really describe classic JRPGs and of course one of them is world map exploration. In this game we can explore the world map with chibi characters like previous JRPG games.

A much needed feature is also present in this exploration mode, namely the feature of moving the camera. Players can rotate the camera and look around to find locations or adjust the comfort of viewing the world.

Fun Minigames!

Eiyuden Chronicle also presents many minigames that players can play. This minigame is also not boring and indirectly makes the author forget that this is an RPG game.

Some of them are fishing, Beigoma (peak), and also card games. Players can access this feature after running the storyline and meeting certain characters.

The author himself really enjoyed the minigames presented and spent quite a lot of time playing spinning tops and card games because of the excitement of these two games. And of course this minigame has a storyline that is no less interesting.

HD 2D graphics and sprites

Of course, as one of the creators of the best classic JRPGs, it doesn't seem strange that Rabbit & Bear Studios chose 2D graphics. The choice of graphics brings more of a JRPG atmosphere and a nostalgic vibe, especially to fans of previous works.

Interestingly, this game was developed using the Unity engine so that 2D movements and backgrounds can look very HD with the right graphic settings. The author is quite happy to see this beautiful graphic.

The Detailed Characters and Environments Are Exquisite

Eiyuden Chronicle presents very good graphic details where the characters are very alive, especially the characters who have a role in the story. Environments such as cities and other locations are also quite lively and cool.

Apart from the characters and environment, the skill sprites when fighting also look very beautiful where each sprite is done with great care and doesn't look out of place on the screen. This also applies to enemy sprites when fighting.

And also 1 on 1 battles show cooler character graphic details with extraordinary animation and fight choreography. Coupled with the cinematic shooting of the fight, it certainly makes the feel of the fight very interesting to look at.

Conclusion

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes presents an Epic JRPG adventure that is fun to play. The author himself really enjoyed this game and was carried away by the storyline.

With very detailed 2D graphics, lots of characters, and pleasant music, this game deserves to be one of the best RPG games this year and is definitely highly recommended for playing.

There are not that many flaws in this game. One thing that is quite visible is the same NPC sprites walking together in the city and looking quite strange if they pass by these NPCs.

In our opinion, Eiyuden Chronicle is truly one of the JRPG games that must be played in 2024. And this is Murayama's last work that can be enjoyed by gamers around the world. We highly recommend the games at SUNDABET Slot if you like playing JRPG games, especially the Suikoden series because this is a very good Spiritual Successor.
