Chained Echoes is a 16-bit JRPG made by solo developer Matthias Linda and it's available for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox and PC. Taking inspiration from JRPGs from the 90's. This game is a love letter to all the classics that the 90s kids grew up with. Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger, Suikoden, Final Fantasy and Xenogears.

Loved that MMBN background sound in the Combat

Thanks so much for noticing that. I love the MMBN series and their OST just works for these pixel games.

Xenogears was the reason i got this game… and so far i’m happy with the game

@androidpaw Жыл бұрын

Xenogears is definitely a huge vibe from this. Not gonna lie. I wish they had more variation for the sky armors

Oh wow! What a time to be alive! I love those love letter tributes to the games of the past. They're mostly passion projects & labors of love! I'm not very versed with the genre but I did enjoy the heck out of "Brave Story" on PSP 😊. Very well-made video, Paw! Very thorough & entertaining! GG! 😃👍❤

Yo! Thanks so much Cake. Brave story is hella amazing. Most of the old school RPGs still hold up good till this day. You should try playing of the ones mentioned in the video like Suikoden 2. Banger classic. Totally appreciate you giving feedback Cake. Happy New Year in advance!

I really love this game a lot. I am currently about to fight the last boss - but I left the area to finish all the side stuff I missed just because I really want to stretch out the whole expirence. My only real beef with the game is that the Class statues dont seem to really add all that much, and I wish there were save options before cut scenes... But really that is just me being a picky weirdo. Probably one of the best turn based RPGs I have played ever.

That is true. One of the best implementations of unlockable classes was octopath traveler. Those classes added so much spice and flexibility to characters. Ngl I hated that one class emblem you get near the toads.

Looks cool!

Absolutely. The art style and the mechs just make this game a huge eye-gasm fest for those SNES babies

@AndroidPAW yea just started playing it on Steam this morning. Apparently it's free on Xbox game pass also. FFVI and Chrono Trigger are two of my all time favs so I am really enjoying it so far.

You should lower your music I almost can't hear you

@androidpaw Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. That's currently applied to my most recent video. I originally edited this headphones only so now I use speakers to find the audio voice to music ratio. :)

This looks superb. I hate that I get in my own way with games like this because everything looks unreal but then I see mechs and my enthusiasm dies. I have no idea why it always happens.
