Perhaps it's cause I grew up with spyro which is a completion focused series but there's something satisfying about just thoroughly completing a game, especially quest driven ones. Currently all I have left to do in lego skywalker is free roam and I'm really enjoying it.

For a Kickstarter optional goal game I thought this was fine. It was given to another company to make while the suikoden, I mean rabbit and bear team, oversaw it. I thought it opened up enough to be enjoyable. Everything you need you always have enough money at the right time, upgrades and rune lenses add a lot to battle, fetch quests were fine since it shows you in the map exactly where to go to complete, etc. The game makes sure you can skip the annoying parts if you want to keep playing. I got all the achievements and it wasn't a task, went with the flow, so I appreciated that. Overall it was a nice game for the price that didn't take its self too serious. Eyuiden Chronicles: 100 Hundred Heroes is going to be completely different and polished for anyone that is worried by this game. This was just a nice little bonus.

Suikoden is my favorite game ever (FFXIV is my favorite MMO as the story is basically perfect. Post-Stormblood and end of Shadowbringers pull at your emotions. Endwalker has a character that is basically innocence personified but not in a way that makes you annoyed with them, but you come away wanting to protect from the world, it's all very well done) and have been waiting for something to fill the Suikoden gap (recruiting people to build up the castle, the war bits, all of it. Perfect). So Hundred Heroes is something I'm looking forward to very much. That said, I enjoyed this. One, tells me the art and animation should be quite good in Hundred Heroes and two it was nice to get some of the backstory of a few characters, I think, fleshed out as really can't rely on memory of Suikoden outside maybe the Jeane callback with Jeanne. Was Rising perfect? No, but it was enjoyable.

The quests were a little bland, the dialouges not that great, and farming for the gear upgrades got a little annoying at the end. But the combat was good, I did like the town upgrading and seeing how more and more people reached the town, the characters were interesting, the soundtrack good, the areas gorgeus. But the best of all was the worldbuilding, it explains how magic works, shows a little of the political landscape, and you get a hint of what might come in Hundred Heroes.

I'm excited for the LGBT representation in Hundred Heroes! In this game, it insinuates that CJ is attracted to women in some of the later fetch-quests. (She comments on how beautiful the women are and that she's nervous talking to them.) I hope it continues in the main game and that there are some non-stereotypical male LGBT characters, too!

I think the game's simplicity and relaxing atmosphere, mixed with fun combat, great visuals, and pretty decent music are its selling points. You're not out saving the world or rescuing some helpless princess, you're not fighting a dark lord or a Lovecraft nightmare, just helping a town, adventuring, and murdering Wispy Woods for the 73rd time. SIMPLICITY is that charm you feel. If you don't mind spending a little dough, there's a graphic novel of The Water Margin floating around, if you'd like to check out the original source material. There's also a podcast called Outlaws of the Marsh: a Water Margin podcast, narrated by someone who REALLY knows his stuff.

I feel the same about this game. Great review. I enjoyed the game despite its many flaws. I was also a Kickstarter backer who should have had this game on release. But since r&b, yetee, and their discord is so disorganized, I didn't get the game until a few days ago. I wanted to Hate it because of the compounding problems in the community. But I had fun. Also, I think they wanted to give the game away. But download codes for consoles cost money. So they were going to lose money just giving it away. So they made it 15$ to help recover the cost of the download codes for the consoles. (Vicarious information)

1:20 - Look at it this way. I think Beyond the Beyond is a hell of alot better than Golden Sun. First off, you get a complete game just by buying it once. Ok? Ahhkay! Second, Beyond the Beyond takes far less time to get to the damn point, whereas in Golden Sun you spend hours on end just watching party members and NPCs repeat themselves about crap you already know! Third, your characters in BtB are respected and credible heroes because people see their exploits and react accordingly, and your characters act like they know what they're doing. In GS your party consists of complete morons that are treated like crap by every NPC in the game, are dumb enough to allow a guy who literally enslaved an entire people (and is open and proud of this fact) to become their most important ally, and don't act like heroes at all. In fact, the guys you're fighting against most of the time have a more valid argument for doing what they're doing than your characters do.

The kickstarter page can easily be searched. If you're too lazy to read, there's videos on youtube regarding the monthly development of Hundred Heroes.

I absolutely loath quests that make you go back between the same two places multiple times just because you can't accept them all at the same time ad it seems like this game is a prime example of "how not to do it", at least in part. It's good that the devs decided to change some of these annoyances at some point, but I don't see why you couldn't do it right off the bat.

I’m having a really hard time finishing this one. Having the bulk of the story focused on side quests…I just don’t care about anything that’s happening…at all. I get that it’s just a little intro to the what will eventually become the main game…but I just wish the format was different so that it didn’t have to feel like a drag. It worries me a bit about the capabilities/focus of the developers. Why not just come out with a card game that would eventually be expanded upon in the main game….or a bullet hell, or something completely left-field that’s just easy to pick up and enjoy. Instead they’re taking the most forgettable and egregious aspect of rpgs (mundane side quests) and making that the focus.

Quests are meaningless and boring. Combat is simplistic, weird and boring. What's with all the enemies bouncing when you kill them? Destroys the flow and is completely unnecessary. I think people pay attention to this game because they're really desperate for any more of Suikoden in any form. It really doesn't bode well for the full game. Based on it, it seems to be made by a bunch of old timers from the PSOne days that are now completely out of touch and capitalizing on nostalgia.
