Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes

What is Eiyuden Chronicle:

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes brings together Yoshitaka Murayama, Junko Kawano, Osamu Komuta, and Junichi Murakami—the key creators of the Suikoden series and other renowned games—to craft the kind of rich adventure that only JRPGs provide. Vibrant 2D pixel-art characters blend seamlessly into a 3DCG world, creating a fresh look for the genre that pushes the visuals a step beyond 2.5D.

Over 100 unique and charming heroes join forces with the game’s protagonists in a tightly-woven story about a war-torn continent. Through a unique system, players are able to expand the town that serves as their home base, opening new shops and managing the town guilds. The turn-based combat puts players in control of up to 6 fighters, providing immersive and fast-paced battles that vary up character formation and follow the action with a dynamic camera.

The game was funded through Kickstarter on July 27, 2020, soaring past its minimum goal of $500,000 and successfully raising over $4.6 million.

Story:

Our story begins in one corner of Allraan, a tapestry of nations with diverse cultures and values.

By dint of sword, and by way of magical objects known as “rune-lenses,” the land's history has been shaped by the alliances and aggressions of the humans, beastmen, elves, and desert people who live there.

The Galdean Empire has edged out other nations and discovered a technology that amplifies the rune-lenses’ magic. Now, the Empire is scouring the continent for an artifact that will expand their power even further.

It is on one such expedition that Seign Kesling, a young and gifted imperial officer, and Nowa, a boy from a remote village, meet each other and become friends. And in a great forest, a young woman named Marisa stands watch over ancient ruins from the runic age…

A twist of fate will soon drag all three of them into the fires of war and force them to reexamine everything they believe to be right and true.?
