Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising Review

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. The study foresees a delivery for 2022 and another for 2023. By 2023, we have Chronicle of Eiyuden Hundred Heroes there for this year, Eiyuden Chronicle Risingwhich we will discuss next.

We put ourselves in the shoes of JC, a treasure hunter who left her home to face her family’s rite of passage. The rite in question concerns nothing more and nothing less than find a treasure greater than its predecessorin this case, JC’s father.

Continue this quest we arrived at New Nevaeh, a mining town that recently suffered a series of earthquakes and ended up being quite affected. The streets are nearly in ruins and the town needs all the help it can get to deal with the treasure hunters. In addition to all the damage caused by the earthquake, a series of very bad-looking monsters began to appear in the mines.

With this premise in mind, we started with the development of the game, which leads us to meet many charactersenough charismatic everything is said. Some will even join our group and help us in our search.

The gameplay of Eiyuden Chronicle Rising

The gameplay of the game is simple but addictive. You control JC at the same time as the members of the group, each attacks with a different button and you can combine them to make combos that will subtract a lot of health from enemies. PFor example, JC attacks with X, Garoo with Y and Isha with B

. We will also have charged attacks and other skills the only ones we need to get. In effect, title matches are meant to be fastthey are very precise, we can kill quite powerful enemies in seconds, if we do it correctly.

As the saying goes, the city is in ruins and that means many things, good and bad. Something positive is the implementation of the stamp system, every time we lend a hand to someone in town, they will give us a stamp. The more stamps, the more improvements we can acquire and the more buildings and population we will see in the area.

Side missions are basically raceswe spend a lot of our time going to x site for x gear or to kill x enemy. The feeling is partly addictive due to the component of acquiring character upgrades and constructing buildings in the city, but on the other hand, it feels very open to the world of 2010.can be quite boring.

In the game we have dungeons and exploration areas, which are full of materials, enemies and of course treasures. At times, enemies can ambush us and more monsters than normal will appear. There are also parts of the areas that we will not be able to access until we acquire the necessary runes.

In Eiyuden Chronicle Rising we have a rune system, each adds an elemental power to our attacks. We can also use them in our equipment to better resist the attacks of this element. For example, in a dungeon we see how a huge stone, called an elemental pillar, blocks our path. The pillar is made of rock from the fire element, since you have to equip yourself with a fire rune to be able to break it.

During the adventure too we will find several mini-gamesquite simple I must say. One of them is fishingwhich consists of correctly pressing a series of buttons, within the time limit given to us. Another of them is gadgets that work with lenses, which serve as a means of teleportation to vast areas of exploration. In this minigame we will have to move different squares to connect one part to another, making a path as if it were a cable.

During our exploration, we will also encounter, very occasionally, with some signs, which are used to save the game and to teleport

among the other signs of the region.

Enemies can tire you out a bit

Enemy variety isn’t exactly the game’s strong point, basically they are the same but with the power of the zone elements. For example, in the snow we have the same basic enemies as in the forest but they attack us with ice moves. Across the board we have the typical slimes, another flying enemy, and another more tanks. Yes, it’s true that there are some that you don’t see in other areas, such as golems, yetis or Cerberusbut it would be nice to see them more often.

The design of the monsters itself is very strikingThey also vary a lot from zone to zone, visually ice slime is very different from earth slime or normal slime, for example. Something that can tire you is that there are enemies that can throw you or push you and sometimes once they throw you they won’t give you a second to get up and that’s it .

The boss fights are quite fun and beautiful, although we will also have to repeat some of them to obtain materials.

Graphically it’s very nice, catchy soundtrack

If I had to sum up the graphics and art of the game in one word, that would be great.. The graphics are very pleasing to the eye, they are very pretty. 3D scenarios with 2D character models are something that manages to fit together and enter into a perfect symbiosis.. The lighting interacts at all times with both the scenery and the characters, and the blurring and other visual effects are very well balanced.

Emphasize that the game is developed with Unity and, in view, he knows how to take advantage of it. In this final build, we don’t see any out of place textures, there’s nothing extra pixelated and overall the game looks really beautiful.

As far as the soundtrack and overall sound theme goes, the game fulfills. Each area we explore has a musical theme that perfectly knows how to enter your head. In the city, the soundtrack will change as we get stampseach time being a happier musical theme than the previous one, reflecting that the city is increasingly alive and full of color.

The duration of Eiyuden Chronicle Rising

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising It’s a game that even though it’s not too long, it can make you something long. He took us about 18 hours to finish itmake secondary (not all) and a few extra things.

There are situations that could be dealt with in seconds and take longer than necessary, for example when completing a goal. Several posters appear on the screen, then a fade to black and then another poster that shows us the next objective. The game could save 90% of the posters it shows uscould gather several in one, for example, what we accomplished in a mission.

Another point is that of the missions, which are repeated again and again, artificially inflating the duration of the title.

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising Final Rating

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising It’s a good start for the series. from the Chronicle of Eiyuden. He is fun and addictive although sometimes it can be somewhat repetitive. Graphically it’s very nice and it’s fun to play, with very fast fights and a catchy soundtrack. Although the saga has room for improvement for the second installment, it’s a good start.

Remember that the game went on sale May 10 and will be available on all platforms.
