Every time you boot up Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, you're met with a dedication that reads: "With our appreciation to all JRPG fans", which we take as a declaration of intent. Hundred Heroes is a triumphant return to the golden age of esoteric PS1 JRPGs; equipped with a few modern conveniences but designed for an old-school mindset. Visually stunning, with an incredibly vast cast of voiced characters to collect, the game nails the tension of a political thriller and epic of war, but the pace of play, and — at times — lack of direction, can sometimes grate.
'Graphics Mode' and 'Balanced Mode' are also on the way.
Sure hope they can work out the performance issues on PS5 and take care of some of issues with the draw distance of things like shadows.
"Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a throwback JRPG that hits all the right notes with its epic story and spectacular grand battle system."

Review - Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is packed with stuff to do; a very polished product that just deserves to be played.
