The spiritual successor of Suikoden from the original creators is here! As with all kickstarter games you have to check your expectations at the door because sometimes you get a banger like Bloodstained, but then sometimes you get whatever Mighty No. 9 or Shenmue 3 were. In this case it's looking somewhere in the middle as we're averaging a 77% through 35 reviews thus far. The game launched for backers and early access members with some glitches that will be patched soon, but unfortunately that's also affected some of the reviews. Opinions on the story and characters seems mixed and expressed disappointment it doesn't quite live up to the likes of Suikoden 2, but the core gameplay seems to be solid. So yeah as long as you keep your expectations in check you'll probably find an enjoyable JRPG here. Also apparently the Switch version is very rough so beware there.

God is a Geek - 9.5/10
Like last years Sea of Stars, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes feels like so much more than just a throwback JRPG. Its a modern game through and through, injected with the elements and mechanics that helped make the genre so phenomenally successful in the earlier years of console gaming. The abundance of heroes simply means theres an abundance of different playstyles and party builds to mess around with, and the music and storytelling combine to create a truly memorable experience that absolutely will stick with you when its over. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is simply a wonderful way to underline Yoshitaka Murayamas lifes work.

Wccftech - 8.5/10
While its premise, story beats and main characters echo Suikoden II a little bit too much, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes manages to stand on its own with a compelling tale, excellent characterization, classic JRPG gameplay and great presentation, which make it easy to look past some of its shortcomings, such as balancing and minor gameplay issues. The world of Allraan may never get into the spotlight again due to the unfortunate departure of its creator, but it is undeniable that it couldn't have been introduced to JRPG fans in a better way.

Game Informer - 8/10
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a good reminder of why the RPG genre left some parts of its Golden Age behind. Its also a testimony to what makes the genre special and the power of good storytelling to move and inspire. Admittedly, rigid adherence to archaic structures makes those first impressions tough to look past, but a creative battle system, extensive party customization, and top-notch writing make up for the retro jank.

RPG Fan - 8/10
Indeed, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a JRPG through and through. But does it live up to its most obvious inspirations? Absolutely not. It lacks the heart and soul of the series that most obviously inspired it, and its messy around the edges. But its not all bad. The base building, character recruitment, and vibes, as the kids say, are right on. So, while Hundred Heroes might not have lived up to my admittedly sky-high expectations, if youre looking for an old-school JRPG experience with some modern conveniences, this is the place to go. Just dont expect greatness like I did. Youll just be disappointed.

Noisy Pixel - 7.5/10
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes emerges as a commendable homage to the beloved Suikoden series. It excels with a rich narrative full of intricate character dynamics and an engaging war story, supported by a vast character roster and beautiful, modern-traditional art design. Strategic gameplay elements add depth, though the games tendency to autopilot and underutilized open world might not satisfy players seeking a more interactive RPG experience.

IGN - 7/10
One you get past its slow start, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes mostly succeeds in weaving the stories of multiple countries and characters together into a sprawling epic. Its turn-based combat system operates smoothly, even if other modes like its strategy RPG battles can encourage simplistic strategies over critical thinking. And while collecting and experimenting with its titular hundred heroes can be entertaining, you wont get to know the majority of them because of how much screen time they need to share with this bloated cast. Still, theres plenty of satisfying side quests and castle building to fill in the gaps, which makes Hundred Heroes eventually feel worth the journey.

NintendoLife - 6/10
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is the epitome of a flawed gem-the kind of game that does a lot of things right and we're sure will command a dedicated legion of fans, but has legitimate problems that are tough to overlook. The expansive narrative, gorgeous spritework, and addictive combat all help make it an easy recommendation to any classic JRPG fan, but bear in mind that it can feel dated in its design philosophy and that the Switch version has a lot of performance problems, at least at launch. If you can get past those issues, this is an enjoyable and immersive RPG that mostly achieves what it set out to do.

NintendoWorldReport - 5/10
Were I not reviewing the game I would have put it aside after a few hours and never thought about it again. Eiyuden Chronicle comes after scores and scores of excellent and successful turn-based RPGs from which it could draw inspiration. Instead, it neglects so many of the lessons learned throughout the years in favor of outdated, tedious gameplay.

I would like to watch Dragon Ball in honor of Toriyama, but Ive heard DBZ is some Americanized junk meant to increase run time, hence all the memes about recaps and such? And that theres a much better version of the show?

Is this true or should I just watch DBZ? And/or whats the best place to watch it legally? Attack on Titan was all on Hulu, which was nice.

Its all on crunchyroll now after our migrated from Funimation.

Not a fan of the English dubbed version that's on there. It's the redubbed version they did a few years later so its obviously missing the Bruce Faulkner music that was in the original Toonami versions and the replacement music is just bad.

The Japanese version is fine though with all the original Japanese music

There is Dragon Ball KAI which cuts the filler out of the Frieza and Cell sagas (Buu saga is mostly untouched) but I don't think it's streaming anywhere and the way they made it wide-screen was chopping up the original footage so you only see a portion of it.

I would recommend just watching it in Japanese on Crunchyroll and If you find the filler is too much just pull up a filler guide but hey just find what works best for you

Or SS23 as I mistyped in the poll XD

Was playing the PS4 and PS5 versions simultaneously so got both platinums. Brotato is a.....I guess you'd call it a Vampire Survivors clone? Except you play as a Potato. There's like 40 different types of potatos you can play as with different starting stats and unique attributes. You have to clear a run (20 waves) with a good chunk of the classes and there's a good chance all the miscellaneous trophies all pop along the way. It's fun enough, but it did start to get a tad tedious near the end when I'm just clearing run after run as the enemies aren't all that varied.

I really enjoyed this fighting game. I can't say I'm all that familiar with Tsukihime and all its spinoffs and alternate timelines and realities or whatever, but I liked the characters in this one and going through their individual story modes and just playing the game. The combo system is simple enough that you can pull out insanely long strings without too many complex inputs and look cool doing it.

The platinum isn't too complex beyond finishing everyone's story mode to unlock the boss rush mode at the end of the story and completing that, as well as earning S Ranks in time attack, score attack and survival. One trophy does ask you to go through a story mode on Hard with rounds set to 5 and never lose a set, but there are some characters with spammy projectiles that makes it easy enough.

If I had to guess I'd say it'll goes up to the debut of Armored All Might

and the 2nd opening for episode 2

keep it going

oh but MAL lists this as MHA: Memories for these 4 episodes and separate from season 7 despite how Crunchyroll has it sorted.

I wonder if they count towards the 25 episode count though

I enjoyed that S7E1 of MHA used the 1st opening again granted it was essentially a full series recap
