I saw that come up on the steam promos
i think theres like 2 of them? Do you need to play one before the other?
Rising is set before Hundred Heroes, bit is really more like a spinoff game. I haven't played the second one yet, but the first isn't a suikoden style turn based rpg, it's a sidescrolling action rpg. The combat is a bit simple and some of the side quests can be a grind, but I found it fun and pretty good especially the characters (of which there are only a couple you play as) and light town building aspect a lot of fun. It definitely sets up some lore for the main game hundred heroes and some characters, but I suspect it going to be skippable. Only took me like 26 hours to platinum so it's not a long play and is pretty cheap to grab
It were me I'd say give it a try but if you don't like it you don't have to feel like you can't skip it
