Chained Echoes review
Exceptional
by MrSpanky

Lovely, just lovely.

A classic in the making and a hidden gem for future generations.

Old school pixel art RPG at its best. Beautiful artwork, wonderful music, lots of characters to recruit, mechs to fly around and tune and countless secrets and puzzles to find.

Full of homages to Chrono Trigger, Suikoden, Xenogears, Final Fantasy 6 and all the great JRPG that made our childhood memorable.

Base difficulty is quite challenging and you will need a solid party combo.

This was a phenomenal title. While I have some gripes with the story, since I am extremely picky with story telling, it was, for the most part, exceptional. I think this game is worth sinking your teeth into if you like JRPGs.

9/10
Took a while but it grew on me. I liked the retro RPG feel with some nice extras like battle switching, weapon/armor upgrades, crystals, and sky armor.
