Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a truly memorable experience that absolutely will stick with you when it's over.
A joyous adventure and fitting swan song for one of Japan's great RPG directors.

This game gives us the Suikoden vibe we were wanting, the cast of heroes you call to your side. The epic story of war and loss, the turn based combat is fun. It's a gorgeous game with many interesting characters. Having this gamemeans a lot from my childhood.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has had a rocky road to release. The latest (and, sadly, final) game from legendary Suikoden creator Yoshitaka Murayama is a beautifully executed JRPG that feels both modern and nostalgic. Above all else, it's a game where the developer's passion for the genre is evident in everything from the storyline to the battles.
Indeed, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a JRPG through and through. But does it live up to its most obvious inspirations? Absolutely not. It lacks the heart and soul of the series that most obviously inspired it, and it’s messy around the edges. But it’s not all bad. The base building, character recruitment, and vibes, as the kids say, are right on. So, while Hundred Heroes might not have lived up to my admittedly sky-high expectations, if you’re looking for an old-school JRPG experience with some modern conveniences, this is the place to go. Just don’t expect greatness like I did. You’ll just be disappointed.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes emerges as a commendable homage to the beloved Suikoden series. It excels with a rich narrative full of intricate character dynamics and an engaging war story, supported by a vast character roster and beautiful, modern-traditional art design. Strategic gameplay elements add depth, though the game’s tendency to autopilot and underutilized open world might not satisfy players seeking a more interactive RPG experience.
Whether or not you’re a fan of Suikoden II, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is just about worth your time. Unfortunately, almost every high point in Nowa's adventure is met with a painful low, making for a disjointed experience bursting with forgettable minigames and characters.
This game is just a little bit better than Suikoden 4 just because the battle system in that game is so bad and tedious. Storywise, this game is even worse than Suikoden 4 (which also has a mediocre story). Nothing in the story grips you and the characters are very forgettable. It's a shame since I was really looking forward to this game.

Switch Version- horrendous, very choppy when traveling around. Menus have a few second delay and loading times take longer then they should. The game isn't a AAA heavy graphic demanding game so this should and can ne optimized better. They allegedly are working on a patch that may improve the switch issues, but I wouldn't trust them. They made multiple promises to backers the past that never happened or didn't provide a satisfactory resolution.

Summary Our story begins in one corner of Allraan, a tapestry of nations with diverse cultures and values. 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.
