Rabbit and Bear Studios’ Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has seen a long journey since its 2020 Kickstarter (including the passing of director Yoshitaka Murayama), but is now finally playable. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch version has some issues, including a bug preventing a major character’s recruitment.

, 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.

Rabbit and Bear Studios’ Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes launches next week, nearly four years since its Kickstarter went live. As a spiritual successor to Suikoden helmed by the series’ creative leadership, it’s highly anticipated, especially among old-school RPG fans. However, even before its release, the developer has confirmed it’s “moving forward” with a sequel.

After a long wait, is finally coming soon. A turn-based RPG by legendary director Yoshitaka Murayama, has been in development since 2020 — although it's arguably been decades in the making. With gorgeous 2.5D graphics, a lush score, and a cast of characters as diverse as its title implies, looks to be a total throwback to the golden age of turn-based RPGs, a rarity in the modern era.

505 Games have released a chunky overview trailer for the heavily Suikoden-inspired RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes – which means it’s time once again for me to share that one Suikoden story I have about how I bought Suikoden 2 for PS1 but got bored and traded it in, and now PS1 copies of Suikoden 2 regularly sell for hundreds of pounds, and why, why, didn’t you keep that in your sock drawer, Edwin, instead of your prized vintage copy of V-Rally, current average eBay price £3.99???
