The game's opening has you enjoy a massive festival from the perspective of an innocent attendee, numerous different thieves, and an incognito princess in the space of about half an hour. From the game's opening moments, we're treated to a dynamically paced storyline that takes full advantage of the game's broad cast. Top-notch writing, stellar combat, and a lavish pixel-art visual style define the Chained Echoes experience. As you might expect, combat is turn-based here, but the Overdrive system ensures that you're rewarded for constantly switching up your strategies and approaches. Each member of the title's ensemble cast offers a unique perspective on proceedings. The game tells a tightly constructed interpersonal story against the backdrop of a tense geo-political standoff. Released in late 2022, Chained Echoes is a loving recreation of old-school 16-bit JRPGs like Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger.
