- This review is one of the top five videos I've made.
Chained Echoes is an old school RPG reminiscent of older titles, but can it stand up to modern standards? Check out my review of this 2022 title.
I really like your review! The sound quality, they way you edited the video, the vocabulary used, references and short history lessons, is what made me watch the whole thing.
And yes, he was right to say that we should think of the games as we remember them not what they really are like. Did this with a few old games and was surprised how my brain made me remeber them as better than they were, in terms of graphics, mechanics and what-not.
I've tested the game on a very low end 2in1 laptop with Intel Celeron N4000 with 4GB RAM (SingleChannel) and the game ran flawlessly, of course. A very good game for even "potato" hardware.
Wish you great success in the following reviews you will do, and in life as well!
Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate it 🙏
This dev is maybe the best sprite artist I've ever seen, but his dialogue is elementary school quality and the music was pretty average. Doing this game as a solo project was a mistake, but give this dev a team that can cover his weaknesses and he'll make the next modern-day masterpiece.
Sounds like a really fun game - especially since you said there are similarities to fire emblem and ffta :D
I loved chained echoes quite a bit. Its a great first effort from a new dev. 7 maybe even 8 out of 10.
Massively overrated but it doesnt mean its bad. The claim is that its a masterpiece but i would hope being really good is good enough.
If this dev collaborated with a professional writer...i think we could actually get a masterpiece. Especially in the character and dialogue department. Just needs some punching up.
And on a 2nd attempt refining these already excellent RPG mechanics...could be onto something generationally outstanding.
Excellent video though. Easy sub.
Agreed. it's a good game. Great ideas, fun combat, nice art direction, etc. But it badly needs a good writer. It constantly suffers from, to borrow the term this video used, "nostalgia bait". Every corner there's like a reference to other games and other franchises. Every major event in the story had me thinking "Oh this is the X equivalent of X in xenogears/berserk/etc." I mean, there's a literal gundam in the game, lol.
@belldrop7365 absolutely right. To say its derivative is a given. Did i enjoy it despite this? Yeah. But it's not where it could be and its held back by the writing throughout.
Made by one dude and better then 95% of the games made by developers today
Love the content 🎉
Not exactly my genre but great review !
I'mnpretty sure all indie RPGs inspired by 90s RPGs are nostalgia bait on a fundemental level, regardless of how good the indie game is.
Instant like for just mentioning Chained Echoes. 10/10 game.
