<\/strong>Head into battle with your own turbo-charged squadron in this crowd-funded Pok\u00e9monesque sequel to the the Japanese designer\u2019s classic Suikoden series<\/p>\n

While the joyously flexible role-playing game Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em> dominated this year\u2019s Bafta game awards<\/a>, winning the award for best game, there remains a strong nostalgic appetite for plainer, more traditional RPGs. Conceived by Yoshitaka Murayama, a writer-director who made his name during the original PlayStation years, Eiyuden Chronicle<\/a><\/em> <\/a>raised \u00a33.6m on Kickstarter in 2020 to become the third highest-funded video game ever on the crowdfunding site. It\u2019s a sequel to Murayama\u2019s classic Suikoden<\/em> series in all but name: a rip-roaring adventure featuring a group of mostly young people tangled in the friction and chaos of two warring neighbouring states.<\/p>\n

As with Murayama\u2019s work from the 90s, follows a familiar pattern as you guide your party from settlement to dungeon, your progress regularly interrupted by capricious random battles through which your characters become incrementally more powerful. After a pedestrian prologue, the game unfurls deliciously. Its gimmick is its Pok\u00e9mon<\/a><\/em>-esque meta-quest: to woo and recruit each of the 100 or so titular heroes to your cause. They begin as a tiny party, then develop into a squadron, to finally become a makeshift army. Every warrior, healer and member of support staff has a name, a personality and an arc. Recruits are encountered across the world. Some enrol the moment you approach; others require cajoling. But the thrill of completing the collection turbo-charges the game\u2019s more conservative, dated appeal, as the recruits can each be slotted into your main six-person team, and directly controlled in battle.<\/p>\n
