Eiyuden Chronicle Rising it’s him new side-scrolling action-RPG from NatsumeAtari and Rabbit & Bear Studios. Rabbit and bear studio fue founded in 2020 and are the creators of the new IP Chronicle of Eiyudenwhich was funded by Kickstarter. We are planning a delivery for 2022 and another for 2023. By 2023, we have Chronicle of Eiyuden Hundred Heroes and for this year, Eiyuden Chronicle Risingthat we were able to test thanks to 505 Games, its distributor.
Emphasize, as always, that this this is a preliminary version and does not represent the final quality of the title.
We put ourselves in the place of JC, a treasure hunter seeking to fulfill her family’s rite of passage, which is to find a treasure greater than her predecessor. I’m looking for that we arrived at New Nevaeha somewhat poor town which has recently suffered a major earthquake which caused something strange in the mines, rich in treasures and minerals. Since monsters started to be seen around Of the place.
During our stay in the city we will meet different characters with an interesting journey some will even join our group.
Simple but effective gameplay
Playable, the title is simple but addictive, we attack by pressing a buttonX in the case of the Xbox controller, also you can leave it pressed to make a more powerful attack and a jump attack. Too we have a special ability by pressing the right trigger. If we have someone in our group, we can attack with botheach has an assigned button, our character hits with X and our partner in the demo with B.
You can chain the blows to each other to make special attacks. Too, each character can interact in a different way with the environmentfor example, it is necessary to have X character in the group to be able to break a rock which prevents us from passing.
The environment of New Nevaeh
New Nevaeh is the town where we first arrived. It’s split into three parts, at least as far as we’ve been able to test it. The square, which is the central meeting placethe residential districtwhere the villagers live and foreigners’ quarterwhere treasure hunters who seek wealth in the mines gather and camp.
As they say, people recently suffered a powerful earthquake and is almost in ruins. One of the mechanics of the game is rebuilding the game.. We should help locals collect materials for reconstruction and little by little we will have access to different stores and services.
We will build things as useful as an inn or the blacksmith, where we will also acquire improvements that will allow us to have more skillsfor example, as indispensable as the double jump.
Too we have a box they give us as soon as we arrive, which we have to fill with tampons so that when finished, let’s get a great reward. We will get stamps as we help the different characters in the city.
We have secondary missions, from what we tested, a bit simple. Collect x quantity of wood, find a lost cat, collect a type of flower because it has x advantages, in short, simple subjects.
Too we can teleport at any time to different points on the map of the site map itself.
Dungeons, simple but fun
At Eiyuden Chronicle Rising we have dungeonsin this previous version we were able to try two of them, El Gran Bosque and La Cantera. Dungeons are simple but fun. Once inside we won’t have much difficulty moving forward, from time to time the monsters will ambush us in which if we will have to be more careful.
During our expeditions, as long as we have the necessary tools, we can go collect minerals, cut down trees, pick mushrooms and others. We will also have different paths available that we can follow that will lead us to treasures, more powerful enemies and even final bosses.
The boss is fightingwe repeat, as far as we have tested, they don’t have much difficultyall the more so if we have the help of several members of the group, although they are entertaining.
Also in dungeons we can save the game and teleport through certain signsyes, we will not be able to teleport outside the dungeon we are in, although we can at the entrance.
If we leave the dungeon, the enemies, and even the bosses, will reappear and we will have to defeat them again. count that heAmbushes are random and the items are different each timeprovides replayability to dungeons.
The variety of enemies is… well, not very variable. In one dungeon and another we have the same enemies but with a slightly modified designyes it is true that once in a while someone makes a move that their alternate version doesn’tbut it’s not very different, we will see if this changes in the final versionwho also will have many more dungeons.
Eiyuden Chronicle Rising is graphically exceptional
the title is developed with the Unity engine and in general it looks very good, 2D models and 3D backgrounds will always be a good combination. Depending on the region, we have very beautiful shots thanks to the lightingWhat it is well cared forwe see how influences 2D models at all times and gives us a touch more perspective.
In terms of textures if there are any, especially the closest ones, it could be improved and some depth effects that aren’t quite well measured or targeted, but in general, the balance is positive.
in the theme sound
The soundtrack of Eiyuden Chronicle Rising it’s good, a bit repetitive at times, but nice, it’s also one of those that ends up getting into your head and staying there for hours a day. These are instrumental themes that sometimes they remind us of certain musical themes of Denyso many eyes, or ears, in this case.
Ambient sounds are consistent and very well made and implementedthe wind moving the grass, a current of air coming out of the mouth of a cave, steps, jumps, etc.
PC socket
The version we were able to test is the PC version of To smoke. pc port is ok, configuration options are rare, you can touch the basics of textures, resolution and effects. Speaking of resolution, the title does not support ultra-wide resolutions. We had no performance issues or bugs, i.e. quite fluid and solid.
Final evaluation
At the end, Eiyuden Chronicle Rising it ends up being a very fun and enjoyable gameinvites and encourages you to play, to continue to progress, it is a game that is not difficult to play and that knows how to hook the player with his mechanics. Rebuild the city, search for treasures, level up, collect resources, we always have something to do. Graphically it’s beautiful and it’s pleasant for the ears.
The title has its issues such as some upgradable textures, somewhat similar enemies and simple mechanics but the good ends up weighing much more than all that, it’s a highly recommended game.
Don’t forget that the game should be released this year and will be available on all platforms.
