There's only one answer, and that's yes, Chained Echoes is brilliant. What's left is to look at the gameplay and whether it can entice players to remain and complete everything this ambitious JRPG offers.

The game world is gorgeous there's a compelling story and plenty to explore and do within the vast continent of Valandis. Let's appreciate for a moment how well-endowed Chained Echoes is for the work of a single developer.

But then again, nothing is impossible these days. What more could a genre fan ask for? Could we be seeing a new modern classic emerge? Considering the game is the work of a solo developer, questions would be raised as to whether it could accomplish that feat. We've got a modern title translated to fit today's hardware standards yet keep the nostalgia flame burning.Ĭhained Echoes is a JRPG with colorful, pixelated art, turn-based combat, a rich narrative, and meticulous attention to detail.

Even without playing, you can see from the visual theme, design, and overall aesthetic that the game includes the famous formula that jetted the genre to prosperity in the early 90s. It's evident from the outlook of Chained Echoes that the developer is an old-school JRPG enthusiast.
