Fantastic art and a speedy, clever battle system propel Chained Echoes from one exciting moment to the next.
Like clockwork, a wink-and-a-nod '90s RPG homage pops up just as soon as I've put down the last one. The era's enchanting style and sense of adventure occasionally leads my judgment astray, and I end up playing a modern PPG built from the tired throwback playbook of Excessively Repetitive or Painfully Wistful. Invoking the sentiment of games like Xenogears or Final Fantasy makes for an easy enough hook.is more than that.
It's a delicate make-or-break few hours for these kinds of games, but Chained Echoes' small novelties and delightful"remember when?" tributes keep tricking me into just one more hour. Entering Farnsport as its people host a festive bash à la The Millennial Fair appeals to the part of me that cries over passing mention of Chrono Trigger.
That's no knock on Chained Echoes being too brutal, though. Sometimes you just really wanna see how swish a new skill looks, and things go to hell. As enemies lined up to deliver their first few butt-whoopings, I found myself miserably confused by the overdrive system and irritated by UI elements that didn't immediately click. Chained Echoes plainly lays it all out, but my habitual overthinking refused to let the system be as simple and uniquely compelling as it is. The crux of combat boils down to keeping a little arrow in the upper left corner within the safe zone, green, slotted between orange and red.
