Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 177 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (2,153 of 2,505 positive).
Players find it a charming but simple action RPG that serves as a prequel to Hundred Heroes. [1][2][3] Many note the game is short, taking around 10-12 hours to complete. [1][4][5] Some reviewers warn it is grindy with many fetch quests and repetitive gameplay. [4][6][7]

The game's main mechanic is extremely boring. You're basically farming a few very limited and constricted zones for materials so you can upgrade buildings in a town. That's the whole game right there. You can't plan ahead, you can't farm more to win some time, there are tons of gating systems in place to prevent you doing so. Ex. very limited storage bag for materials that you need to empty by leaving the dungeon …

This game is basically: “Hero, please save our town!” “Sure!” “Cool. First, could you gather 14 rocks, 9 pelts, 6 mushrooms, and emotional closure for the blacksmith?” And the worst part? I did it. Happily.

This game should be taken for what it is: an appetizer for Hundred Heroes. The game is short, a bit clumsy (meh animations, meh jump mechanics and feel), very very simple (I never died, nor did I ever need to heal during battle), with characters that might be amusing but are stereotypical. And yet, all things considered, it works (helped by the low price, of course): the story has that final twist that leaves you …

While I regret not playing this before Hundred Heroes, it still stands on its own as a charming experience. It’s the only platformer I’ve played recently, and I’m happy to say it was time well spent. The visual presentation is top-notch. While the soundtrack repeats a bit too much, the overall atmosphere remains very pleasant. The town-building mechanic is the real star here. The game effectively turns you into a …

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. The characters were charming, the side-quests felt fun and rewarding, and the combat, while simple, scratched a hack-and-slash itch I didn’t know I had. I also really liked re-building the town; it was very satisfying to help the townsfolk and see the town grow and flooding over time. The game isn’t without its flaws, though, and suffers from a sub-par story, poor pacing, …

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising sits at 86% positive across 177 opinionated reactions from 4 sources. Fresh or rotten — where do you land?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator platform Metacritic. Destructoid gave the game an 8 out of 10, and noted that while the rote dungeons, slow pacing, basic combat, and linear structure might underwhelm the newcomers, its personal, small-scale character-based moments, visual style, and low price more than made up for these faults. Game Informer faulted Rising for its dry story, undeveloped characters, bland combat, mandatory side quests, and hollow progression, writing, "Pretty visuals can only get you far, however, and Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising doesn't offer enough entertaining or unique content to keep it from being anything more…

60 of 332 · most liked firstThe creator of Fire Emblem left Nintendo to make his own studio, and games like Fire Emblem the way he wanted to. He was sued, but that lawsuit is now why games like Bloodstained or Mighty No. 9 or Eiyuden Chronicle can exist now, due to precedent. Oh, and Tear Ring Saga is great in its own right.

I love how it uses all the systems that I know from playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes like how you upgrade your weapons & recruit people. It’s just a super chill JRPG & I respect it. ❤️🫶🏻

So, if you're planning on playing Hundred Heroes I can recommend this one prior to it. It is a light introduction to its world and to some characters, though it is not necessary at all. It will help you understand some little optional details/references and characters on the next game, so 100% skippable. It will take you like 10-12h and around 17h with post-game content…

The stories just so slow moving the amount of backtracking you do is ridiculous.

If you're old like me and remember games like "Ragnarok Offline" or the newer "Dust: An Elysian Tail": This is quite comparable. It's a little sidescrolling hack'n'slash RPG that evolves solely around slaying enemies and collection ressources for quests. It's centered around a single town…

neutral · AI labelView post →Very nice character development and funny dialogue and amazing environment design and visuals, but the gameplay loop is one entirely of repetition and grinding the exact same areas, the exact same enemies, over and over in order to amass resources to complete quests and acquire stamps needed for game progression. Redeeming qualities are the various abilities, weapons and armour, and magic system, which are very well-developed and fun to use.

The game tries to be a platformer, a sidescroller fighter, and an RPG with resource gathering all at once, and ends up doing none of them well. The different characters you can switch between have too different ways of moving, and some enemies have a special ability that makes you unable to switch characters(while switching charcters is a requirement to do combo attacks in battle,…

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a simple and short JRPG. Takes like 10-11 hours to complete if you do every quest, and probably an extra 5-ish to 100% judging from what I see in the postgame content. Don't expect anything mindblowing with the plot, this is really like 90% zany villagers fetch quests and 10% actual story. 7/10, though if you don't like doing a TON of fetch quests (like at least 100 of them) I wouldn't recommend it.
