Hundred Heroes is still a year away and while you wait for it you can play action-packed Rising and learn all about its world and the characters.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising offers easy fun. It may be simple, but it works, and even if you go back to the same areas a lot of times, it doesn't get boring.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a fair stab at bringing something for the fans, a game that did not have enough time to be fleshed out, so had to bulk the journey out with its stamp collection, but overall, it’s a fair game, nothing too good or bad, just a game that I did enjoy for the most part, but tries to hinder that enjoyment with some questionable and generic quest padding.

O jogo é super viciante, não percebemos o tempo passar, bem facil platinar.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a game that is honest about what it offers, but also very aware of its limits. It works best when accepted for what it is: a modest spin-off, light-paced, and with contained ambition, designed to accompany rather than to lead.Among its strengths are agile combat that hooks you at the start, a pleasant art style, and a charming narrative tone that makes the experience easy to digest. It is a game that doesn't cause friction; it flows well and rarely breaks. The problem is that almost everything good it proposes falls short: the combat becomes automated, missions repeat shamelessly, town progression becomes mechanical, and the music is so unremarkable that it’s hard to ****’s not a bad game, but it is one that is far too comfortable. It never takes risks, never surprises, and never quite takes off. It gives the constant impression of playing a prelude, a "meanwhile," rather than an experience with its own identity.

Very similar to Trine, except less polished. Its only worth it if you are a hardcore fan of Eiyuden Chronicle.

Undemanding and decidedly enjoyable, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a light-hearted and often cartoon-like Action JRPG which is really fun to spend your time with. Of course, you don't have to have anything against going back and forth a thousand times in the same places, to do the same things again and again, because in this case appreciating it would be quite difficult. The visual quality is really impressive and I really liked the mix of backdrops in (very rich) 3D and two-dimensional pixelated characters, and I can't get the music out of my head. In short, a good game: not essential but absolutely enjoyable.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising has a slow and snore-worthy opening hour, but hiding behind that repetitive introduction is an incredible blend of high-octane 2.5D combat and rewarding resource gathering gameplay. The icing on the cake, though, is the Marvel Cinematic Universe-worthy parade of character cameos and appearances that promise some of the many faces you'll be battling alongside (or maybe even against) once Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes comes out.

this game is just a simplistic low budget introduction prequel to eiyuden chronicle hundred heroes and it is a very enough game

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising has made a substantial effort to use a rich narrative with charming characters to create a genuinely wholesome world. However, the side quests serve as a barrier, as they entail the monotonous affair of gathering materials. Hopefully, Hundred Heroes will not fall prey to the same shortcomings as this introduction chapter.

Taken as a spin-off ahead of the long-awaited Eiyuden Chronicle, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising offers great world-building and characters. That said, the repetitive gameplay mechanics do get in the way of making this a great action RPG that can stand by itself.

I truly wish Rising’s gameplay systems were more engaging, as the story and characters had me genuinely engaged. There’s nothing about the game that’s particularly bad. But outside of the story, there’s nothing that’s particularly exceptional either. The flood of backtracking and busy work feels ripped right out of a classic JRPG, but not in a good way. If anything, this game makes me cautiously excited for what Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes will do.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising has flashy combat and gorgeous visuals, but the repetitive gameplay loop really holds it back.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising was supposed to be a simple introduction to the Eiyuden Chronicle world... but instead it becomes a tedious exploration of a TON of secondary, unnecessary quests. In the end, the beauty of its world as well as the simplicity of its design are not allowed to shine as they most certainly could.

Just some simple but fun side scrolling beat em up action. Its got a good number of quests and its fun to rotate to characters and use different moves as well.

As a Kickstarter reward it's good, well dragged. However, it is a fun game. A good game to cheer up the hearts of those who await the Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

Good- Colorful and sharp visuals convey a modern retro aesthetic. Enjoyable combat with a decent amount of depth and options. Fun interactions between the characters with a good setting and lore. Lots of optional content. Gorgeous environments that feel different Bad- Pacing is a bit uneven (starts and stops at key moments). Side content is a bit samey. You will be revisiting the same locations constantly. Low difficulty diminishes the combat as a whole. Levels lack secrets or other routes. Thoughts- Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising fulfills its purpose, providing a solid if very straightforward experience that may or not make you averse to stamps when it’s all over. The combat and exploration won’t match up with some of the very best in the genre but it’s easy to get into with a decent amount of depth and some satisfying feedback. Overall, it’s a decent time-waster that may surprise some before they pine for what more could have been.

I absolutely love the presentation. The pixel art is amazing, the backgrounds are awesome, the effects are good. It's a shame that the game itself just isn't very good. The game is way too hand-holdy. Tutorial windows pop up constnatly. Characters talk to you too often for too long, with nothing important really being said. I played for about 2 hours and maybe 15 minutes of that was actual gameplay. But even then the gameplay isn't that good. Controls are floaty and slow to respond. You get potions saying they heal 500hp yet your health bar doesn't even show your HP, you have to pause and go into a menu for that. The gameplay loop is very tedious. Get a quest, go 1/3 of the way into an area to finish it, come back out. Get the next quest, go 2/3 of the way into the same area you just did, come back out. And you guessed it, for the next quest, you finally get to go all the way to the end of the area and fight a boss.
SummaryEiyuden Chronicle: Rising combines a thrilling adventure through ancient ruins with the tale of one town’s rise from the ashes. Drawn by lenses and other treasure in the nearby Runebarrows, our heroes learn that the town is struggling to rebuild after an earthquake and decide to help. Along the way, they’ll resolve disputes between eager... Read More
