Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes reviewed on Xbox Series S, also available on PlayStation, PC, and Switch.
One you get past its slow start, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes mostly succeeds in weaving the stories of multiple countries and characters together into a sprawling epic. Its turn-based combat system operates smoothly, even if other modes like its strategy RPG battles can encourage simplistic strategies over critical thinking. And while collecting and experimenting with its titular hundred heroes can be entertaining, you won’t get to know the majority of them because of how much screen time they need to share with the rest of this bloated cast. Still, there’s plenty of satisfying side quests and castle building to fill in the gaps, which makes Hundred Heroes eventually feel worth the journey.

Not bad for a kickstarter game. Konami needs to do better. They can’t even finish a half baked remaster of Suikoden on time.
You're that upset over an update?
If it isn't finished how do you know it's half-baked?
@@joshuamcneely3028 because its Konami. Look at the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection
@@sirmel11He's been upset because there wasn't any UPDATES!
Rabbit and Bear studios is far worse than Konami. Atleast with Konami you know what to expect. With Rabbit and Bear studios. It's just lie after lie.
Duel is not completely random; there's a hint in the dialogue about what the enemy is going to choose
this reviewer might not have played Suikoden series or forgets a lot of it
@@Ndoelicious after the stellar blade review the lack of professionalism is really showing on igns side and now on this game too
True, it’s very obvious the reviewer doesnt really know a lot about games. They should have made someone else review this game, someone who played this type of games.
@@King-2077 they dont hire RPG people. You can see that in literally all their RPG reviews. they used to back in the day. But most of those have been let go long ago.
Ikr this dude obviously don't anything about suikoden
If you grew up playing PS1 JRPGs, then this game is for you.
And if you grew up reading or watching IGN reviews, you know they're awful.
Sorry, what was awful about this review? @@manakakisaragi9121
@@manakakisaragi9121the game or the review is awful
If you played suikoden 2 this game is for you because that’s what it is
@@C-AntiquusUn the review, ign is well known for its bad reviews
That long wait for fast travel is nothing if you've played Suikoden 2. You already owned a fricking castle by the time you get the blinking mirror and Viki lol
Yeah not many understand doing Hix and Tengaar's side quest without the blinking mirror or viki for that matter lol
Haha miss this kind of feeling
Viki sometime teleport randomly haha. Just how old is she?
@Shigazane does she appear in this game
Vikis is a time traveller @@hafiz9825
its a kickstarter game from the original creator of legendary Suikoden 1 and 2 Yohitaka Murayama, who tragicaly passed away just before the game release, it didnt have resource like other big company game, so its pretty impressive, so far im loving it, taking me back to my childhood, im giving it 8/10 ..., hope there will be eiyuden 2 with more budget and bigger team ...
It's almost he waited until delivering his final game to please all the fans.
Playing it right now! Really feels like the original suikoden (2)
No, just no. It's a disrespect to Suikoden 2 to compare it with this game.
@@SeventhheavenDK no it's not. It's literally modern day suikoden 2. Quit being a negative Nancy.
@@SeventhheavenDKyou right. Suikoden 2 still superior in story, music and character design....
Its available tomorrow in America
WTF IGN expecting? 100++ characters with full backstory explained?
Please do a better research before posting a video, the duel was never random. There are dialogs hints for it
No mention of suikoden? No mention this game was specifically made for suikoden fans? Disappointing review.
IGN staffers were probably too young or weren't even born when Suikoden 2 came out.
@@abrilryandacanay2816 lol yeah
The reviewer, Jess Reyes, has honkai star rail as one of her recommended RPGs. Take that for what it's worth.
@@silva29 LMAO rlly? Star rail is the most overhyped garbage gacha out there. Its literally ALL visuals zero substance.
Honestly... All those characters gathering is just our pokemon reflexe. Gotta catch em all. 😋
Wait is there a humanoid capybara running a hot spring?! Sold
If you love Suikoden , then this game is a no brainer
It's a 9 for me
(2)
But you haven’t even finished it, or perhaps even played it…….
@@jksanrio you know Kickstarter backers got it early right? It's entirely possible for several people to have beaten the game. So the skepticism is unwarranted and feminine.
It's incredible for anybody who enjoyed Gameboy jrpgs like Pokemon red/blue. It's modern day suikoden. It's glorious.
Pokemon and Suikoden... those aren't even REMOTELY similar, lol.... no idea what you're even saying dude.
@jed1nat he's saying it's a fusion of formulas clown. Hyuck hyuck!
the early backtracking is not that bad you can put in low level characters into the party and level them on the way back its worth even if they arent your main party since they determine the strength of your field army if you are a fan of Fire Emblem you should give this one a chance
The duel for the enemy next action to take is based on their dialogue, if their dialogue is tempting us to attack they will use counter, if their dialogue feel like they will attack, it's attack, is not chances, Suikoden also like that.
After campaign is there anything to do? Like unlimited small missions or freedom to roam? Ex pokemon, beat the game but can still go battle and do things. If this makes sense 😅
For me this is so far my Game of the Year!
Such low standards 😂
@@SeventhheavenDK damn you hating in mad comments. Go play a game
Did the reviewer not play any suikoden games where this is clearly inspired by? Suikoden 1/2 are very close to this and are very much loved.
Should've mentioned that the whole game is a love letter and pretty much the successor to the Suikoden series. It's great.
Suikoden 2 is my all time favorite rpg, loving Eiyuden so far!
How is he doing so much damage 1:48? My characters were doing half that for that fight
is that normal mode? I'm playing on hard and at around lvl 13 at that point, doing 1/3 of the damage shown here
NG+ maybe
They played the pre-release version.. our's have day 1 patch so re-balanced version with nerfs & buffs
The soundtrack and voice acting in this game are amazing!! for me is 8.5 minimum and 9 maximum
It makes me really sad that this review references Pokemon several times and there isn't a single mention of Suikoden. Surely SOMEBODY at IGN has played a Suikoden game?! You've got to have somebody over age 20 over there, right?
Loving the game so far. No complaints
As a die hard fan of Suikoden 2 and never got over the amazing story line, is this game worth to pick up? It's very high in the price range so I'm still contemplating...
The blue dude better not betray me like Jowy did.
Any other games you want to spoil?
@@user-bp1be1yg2hI mean, Suikoden 2 is like a 25 year old game at this stage. The remaster seems to have fallen off the map, and if you haven’t heard of it you probably never will.
Jowy did not betray Riou, it was like they received one of the 27 true runes each and with Jowy had the black sword rune which has a diffrent path than the shield rune on how to end the Dunan War
@@lokiekiekodon't know man, killing the capital's mayor in a secret deal with the enemy then order units to kill you in battle sound much more like betrayal to me.
@@Wolf.moon23 that was part of the black sword's path , they had to kill Annabelle so there will be no walls againts Hughlands
This is much more like sequel to Suikoden 2 ❤
Is the switch bersion patched up
Did they fix the terrible localisation
Do you guys recommend the game for a Final Fantasy fan? This looks beutiful and fun
I’m upset it’s a 90’s RPG - IGN review
I'm upset because the score is not 10 - Guy in the comment section
im upset its 2024 - dumb guy
@@gordonatkins8190 It doesn't have to be perfect but most of this guy's criticism is just straight up whining and shows he knows nothing about the design nor its intended audiences.
3 Minutes into the video and your critics are: 1) Slow start because the story is actually told properly 2) You sometimes have to think for yourself about what you have to do 3) You have to actually play the game for a while before being able to fast travel (The map up to this point isn't even big)
You have to slow travel at the start of every suikoden
This reminds me a bit of how the remake for Star Ocean Second Story was done!
For suikoden 1 or 2, it will take a while too befoee you can do the fast travel and there aew also tons of cannon fodder but cool characters
MORE characters PLEASE 🤗
Best JRPG ❤❤❤
Um. No. Decent jrpg
@@Serendipity_GamingX Um. No. Amazing JRPG
@@Daniel-Unmeiten Um. No. Decent jrpg
@@Daniel-Unmeiten is that why it's user score has an average rating of 7.2??? Get off your high horse kid
Really great that this finally got released 🥰
suikoden 5 or this better ?
It's all a matter of opinion
dont count suiko 4 and 5, its bad, for this is better than 3, suiko 2 still better overal ..
I'd say, it's right below 2
@@clyde24skywalker WTF man, 5 was amazing?! The best one after 2.
after 6.
TLDR : It's a 7 according to IGN.
Ofc ifs a 7 by 7gn
Come on, what does a 7 even mean anymore.. if you gonna give it to 90% of the games..
Well the average user score is also a 7 so????? @moonnis4608
in steam they get 7 too
Is a 4 on switch
"pokemon with soldiers" ... oh ffs you really got someone who never played Suikoden to review this, huh?
Basicly the 3 aspect of battle is same as Suikoden do
You my friend clearly never played a Suikoden Game.
Lmao they deleted my comment about giving neutral 7 ratings is a cop-out since they're lazy reviewers
These people recommend gacha games. What did you expect lmao.
PC 😊😊 ... play smoothly with i7 10th gen with intel graphic @1080p
suikoden 6?
SETE IGN nossa vamo se mancar um pouquinho, pelo menos 7.5 merece. não terminei mas nossa
You already know the score
This isnt a game review its just someone saying what happens in the first 3 hours of the game and then saying 7. One of the worst reviews ive ever seen
Gimmick vs Nerthus was annpying. Picked 10 times in a row wrong hammer.
This new game kinda reminds me of Suikoden 1-2!? 😮
A decent amount of the gripes are, "the game did not hold my hand." So I'm sold, baught the game.
enjoy your rage purchase
I’m disappointed with 3 main character nowa, marisa and seigh without true rune like suikoden series.
The game has a lot of minor inconviences that does'nt need to be there.
Whyyyy is everything a 7?
Because you guys are laughing at their decimals? Why 7.9? Why 8.1? Why 9.5? Its your fault.
Why is everything mediocre?
Because 9 are reserved for GTA 6 and Elder Scroll 6, therefore, should put everything else in 7 to make a room for the king
reminds me of Suikoden series...
That’s because it is a spiritual successor, made by the same creator of the Suikoden series
You can't say this game doesn't give out Suidoken vibe.
Cause it is
Started playing but felt it was going to be an extremely slow start and bailed. Looks cool though
Game opens up around 8-10 hours, but its worth it
THE REVIEW SOUNDS LIKE HE IS REVIEWING SUIKODEN 2 LMAO
do NOT get this on switch at least not yet. its the most unoptimized crap since batman ak
Thanks for the heads up!
So an average Switch experience then...
So ...this is Suikoden basically?
yes from creator of suikoden
If you like Suikoden, then this one is for you
It's so obvious that this game was heavily inspired by Suikoden but the guy reviewing it doesn't seem to realise that lol
Why every ign review is a 7/10??
bruv 15 HRS just to unlock fast travel??? what?
Welp im not surprised
What happened to IGN.
new suikoden🔥
get a different reviewer, this guy doesn’t game
so far 8/10 for me.
love the game! but... no protagonists true runes or special lenses (or legendary power) is sad. soul-eater and bright shield runes were one of the things that made suikoden what it was meanwhile this game has lots of similarities from suikoden, but it manages to ignore or miss the one most important aspect of the game which are the ultimate powers.
On switch the performance was bad.. loading bfore battle 7 sec and after battle 4 sec... not worth to buy on switch
after beating the game.. out of 10... it was 4 out of 10 for me compared to suikoden 2
Attention all RPG game lovers! It's time to demand better reviews from IGN for RPG games. A true RPG game is all about exploring, discovering yourself, figuring out the best team and tactics for your party. The games from the Final Fantasy series in the 90s and early 2000s were challenging and exciting, providing gamers with a sense of accomplishment upon completion. Nowadays, RPG games have become too easy and unchallenging, losing their charm and originality. It's time for game developers to take inspiration from the early RPG games and bring back the excitement of exploring the unknown world and solving mysteries, like in the classic Pokemon games. Traditional RPG games should be designed to keep you engaged for hundreds of hours without finishing the game within just 30 hours. Let's demand better RPG games, ones that are truly challenging and engaging, and let's make sure IGN's reviewers are up to the task of evaluating them accurately.
This reviewer only play Final Fantasy thats why he doesnt know the vibe of suikoden. Teleporting to other villages takes in mid game you should recruit viki.
They gave it a 7
IGN gives it a 7 - Everyone disliked that
Nays
Shouldved been an 8.
We want GOTY material
7.0, really? For me it's 8.0
The one doing the review is a genshin impact player for sure🤣🤣🤣
been watching this review for 4 minutes, didnt understant anything...
Iyutan Chronicles
Hahahahah hype ka po!! 😂😂😂😂
Just googled, it's always you brain rot peenoise.
HaHAHAHAHA
Aye kabayan
Yan din tawag namin 😂
The game is a 10
9
u will try to censure this game too?
Like the old school Suikoden lol no one remembers all 100 plus characters haha 😂 classic
First
less comfortable to play on PS4
Thanks for the great review!
Konami punching the air right now 😂😂
Disappointing review. You not realizing that this was a modern day Suikoden is disappointing
Better than stellar blade
Everyone complainong about the ign score but it is an identical score to the avergae user acore so stop complaining
why does ign love 7, disgusting
Ign 7 = normal 9
because you guys are making fun of their decimals a few years ago? Making memes out of it? why 7.9? why 8.2? why 7.3? You guys deserve this, you complained before, now suffer.
@@rhovenom04 suffer YOU FOOLS! 🤣
@@danjarnutowski2331Starfield is now a normal 9 I guess
@@rhovenom04 wth
So boring prefer playing classic suikoden
Its literally the same made with the creator of the original 😂
@@King-2077 Just because the same creator doesn't mean it's going to literally be the same.... Hard to recapture old magic
Most worst is ign 💀
Let's talk about the crappy localization though. Dude is Noah...not Nowa.
