Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising | Review in 3 Minutes 

I gather there’s ~160 quests including story ones, so it’s not toooooo overwhelming to grind out the side stuff It’s a bit broken though with the perma-upgrades from the food ^^’ each teleport to the lake point in the first dungeon gives you enough money for 2 stat ups, so can shoot up critical rate to 100% quite easily

I'm sitting at 100 quests, most of them I got through quite quickly because I tended to just run through the dungeons instead of just going and farming certain items, so I tended to have the exact items I needed and breezed through dozens of quests without having to delve back into the dungeon aside from quest specific items.

Still impressive considering this is just a side project funded by a stretch goal

What perfect timing. I just 100% this a few hours ago. For the record, I loved this game. The grind wasn't terrible, at least I didn't think so. I maxed out my level about the same time as I hit the endgame, so the grind felt like it served a purpose. The post game was a grind, as most post games are want to be, but that was in the service of getting that wonderful 100% fix I so desperately need. The combat was fast paced with two combat settings and multiple difficulty settings, it is as challenging as you want it to be. The link attack system is great, especially when you get a little something special after you complete all that side questing. Combat just feels good. All in all, I'd recommend this game to just about anyone. Especially if you have Game Pass. It's free, so why the hell not try it out.

I love this game I've never felt bogged down doing any of the quests. I enjoy the dungeons so much that lots of side quests were done before I got them. I would give this game an 8.5 out of 10. I don't understand when people say a game is TOO repetitive EVERY GAME is REPETITIVE. IMAGINE LOOKING AT A NEW Sonic, Halo, or Crash, Title and saying they're repetitive. A gamer buys a sequel to a game because they loved the last games Play Mechanics! I can imagine these people saying "I don't like the new Sonic game because he runs fast and its SOO REPETITIVE". SMH that's a stupid and lazy way to give games a low score when they deserve higher ones. 18 hours into this game and I could play 10 more. Excellent game and a worthy prequel to what I hope is a great RPG coming next year. Peace and Be well to all gamers!

I have been waiting for this and while it doesn't seem to have that polish it still sounds good to me especially since we are going to get another better game later on so I am happy to support

Sounds like Inspector Gadget for GBC, where the bulk of the game is spent as the titular character since Penny and Brain are so squishy.

Do I need to play anything before playing this game?

All you had to do is follow the damn train CJ!

I don't like the paper cutouts in 3d spaces thing but Kangaroo man is a good boy and needs a treat!

"Included with Xbox Game Pass" continues to be one of my favorite phrases in modern gaming.

I'm loving this game, love a grind.

So...sounds like a good game to play in between larger game releases (kinda like Dusk Diver, Astral Chain, Ender Lilies, etc)...probably will pick it up later when i have the extra cash as the art style and combat somewhat reminds me of Vanillaware's 2D beat em up rpgs and I've had fun with those...might try the main Suikoden like game when it comes out as well (hopefully on Switch as well since i feel like it will feel best there for me so i can take it around and either play it on my chair, bed, couch, etc).

I think it looks like fun, if a little generic. I do really like the visuals and the length. 100+ hour RPGs are just too much, IMO.

Hmm the grinding sounds pretty bad... it's on gamepass though so no loss if i don't enjoy it.

As I get old, this is the only gaming channel I keep watching (rightfully so). Thanks!

I love Suikoden and am looking forward to the new product.

Rad job

Enjoyed it for a bit then got bored. Thank goodness I didn’t pay for it, but could have used my points for a better game.

Amy not doing 3MR anymore?

It's pronounced A yuu den

So it's "Dust" without the furries, gotcha

I kinda like everything about this game, but the title. Why this sort of japanese games MUST have these forgettable, untidy names?

I had more fun with Rising in almost 30 hours than with my 1000/1000, 200 hour playthrough of Elden Ring.

I really don't think we should be bunt dabbing the marshmellow frosting in this beehive. Not without rocking the big noodle sock with a grape launcher, am I right?

I love this game, But I thought the gameplay is turn-based so a bit disappointed. I want turn-based jrpgs

The characters look a bit too much like cutouts for my taste. Maybe some of the lighting tricks that games like Broken Age used would've been good.
