My Hero Academia returns this Saturday with the highly anticipated premiere of its seventh season. The latest season of the mega-popular superhero action anime is set to adapt the “Star and Stripe” arc of Kōhei Horikoshi’s original manga. That means the arrival of America’s No. 1 Hero, Star and Stripe, in Japan to aid Izuku Midoriya and his classmates in their battle against Tomura Shigaraki and the Paranormal Liberation Front.
Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes Review
24.04.2024 - 09:59 / thesixthaxis.com
First days on the job are always hard to deal with, but Nowa is absolutely thrown in the deep end at the start of Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes. Our hero is drafted into a joint military operation between their nation and the Empire, but before too long they’re raising an army for the resistance against imperial invasion. Along the way you’ll meet and recruit more than one hundred heroes (hence the name) to bolster said army.
Here lies the first problem with the game, and I’m gutted that I’ve reached grievances this early. The number of heroes sounds impressive, and it is, but it means losing depth with the characters. A handful of characters are fleshed out, such as the main trio and select others, but many of them are essentially just one-dimensional caricatures. I’ll fight anyone over Francesca though, as she is one of the most accurate depictions of a healer I’ve seen.
To play, Hundred Heroes is mostly typical JRPG fare complete with turn-based battles, lots of numbers and copious amounts of gear and items to manage. The battles follow a bar along the top of the screen letting the player know the current order of actions including the enemies, so you’re encouraged to use the turn order to avoid damage by eliminating or otherwise stopping enemies before they can attack.
Battles allow a party of six characters divided between two rows, with the enemies having the same configuration. Your characters have different attack ranges, so you need to be cautious of the placements within your party as if you have someone on the back row with short range, you aren’t going to be able to hit a single thing – something I definitely didn’t do on at least three occasions.
You select all of your party’s actions before playing them out in order with the enemies acting at their points in the sequence. Once you confirm those actions, it locks you into those choices until all turns are complete, which even includes healing and other defensive skills. Misjudge things and fail to keep an eye on those life bars and you will end up with some knocked out heroes before you know it.
Certain encounters will feature gimmicks to help you, such using a character’s turn to activate traps or manipulate the battlefield. This shakes up the combat considerably, giving some fun ways to take down the enemy. However, some of these gimmicks are not well realised, becoming more of a frustration than anything genuinely helpful – looking at you, Magical Girl hammers.
All party members can be augmented with Rune-Lenses to give them spells or boosts to their stats, and these can be changed at the stores where you buy them and select other places in the world such as your home base. As your characters gain levels, you can equip multiple Lenses

Another Crab’s Treasure Review
You’ve heard of the Lands Between, but have you ever considered the Sands Between? That’s not a joke, that’s a genuine area in Another Crab’s Treasure, and I don’t think anything sums up the exact vibe that this game is going for better than the name of that one area. This is a love letter to and a sendup of so much of what FromSoftware has done, all wrapped up in a very cute crab protagonist just trying to get their home back, and a deeply unsettling message about pollution that we all already know, but don’t often get to play through.

Another Crab's Treasure Review (PS5) | Push Square
Another Crab's Treasure might not look like a soulslike action RPG, but it is one. Take out the dark, oppressive nature of FromSoftware's output and replace it with SpongeBob, and you're more or less there. Purposely juxtaposing the established tropes of the genre, this title offers a fresh, more lighthearted experience without sacrificing the level of challenge you'd expect.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Switch Review: Nostalgia At Too High A Price
, developed by Rabbit & Bear Studios and published by 505 Games, is a game that knows what it wants to do. A love letter to the series with the promise of more modern technology to produce it (even while deliberately sticking to the same familiar aesthetics and systems) sounds good on paper — in execution, however, it's a lot more of a mixed bag, with some downright maddening or baffling decisions that hamper an otherwise decent game.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Review (PS5) | Push Square
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.
