Our take on Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising
Rather than treating the settlement as a fixed backdrop, the game makes rebuilding the town part of its action-RPG structure. Ruin exploration and combat are paired with local disputes, reconstruction, and relationships, while the prequel story connects this smaller adventure to a wider setting.
What is Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising?
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an action RPG that takes place in the setting shared with Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and precedes that game’s story.
Heroes seeking lenses and other valuable finds enter the nearby Runebarrows, then learn that a town is rebuilding after an earthquake and join its efforts. They also settle disagreements between treasure-seeking adventurers and residents concerned about disturbance to the ruins. As the heroes learn why one another seeks treasure, their relationships grow.
