Recenzje Chained Echoes

Świetna gra dla fanów starej szkoły jRPG i tytułów takich jak chociażby Xenogears. Małym minusem dla mnie jest zbyt duża ilość grywalnych postaci przez co historia niektórych z nich jest potraktowana drugorzędnie.

Bardzo przyjemna i wciągająca gra, jeśli ktoś lubi Golden Sun i tego typu gry to to się świetnie odnajdzie.

Na pozytywa to sobie ta gra zasłużyła. Bardzo solidna pozycja. Ale przeglądam komentarze i nijak się z niektórymi zgodzić nie mogę. Grafika - kwestia gustu, a o gustach się nie dyskutuje, ale po prostu nie mogę odgadnąć, dlaczego ta grafika jest podobno piękna. Jest przyzwoita. Żadnych wodotrysków, czy innych bajerów tu nie ma, które można określić mianem pięknych. Podobieństwa do innych jrpg - często wymieniany jest Xenogears, zapewne za sprawą mechów. Xenogears miał nietypową mechanikę, która pozwalała odpalić combosa przyciskając kombinację przycisków. Coś jak w Tekkenie. Gdzie tu podobieństwa? Zresztą walka w Xenogears była moim zdaniem dość słaba. Ekstremalnie ciężko było tam nabić kasę, za to ceny były wywalone w kosmos. Siła Xenogears polegała na klimacie. A ten był mocarny. Muzyka - Xenogears miał moim zdaniem najlepszą muzykę wśród wszystkich jrpg, w które grałem. Na drugim miejscu Final Fantasy VII. Chained Echoes im nie zagraża. Fabuły nie oceniam. Mój angielski nie jest na wystarczająco dobrym poziomie, aby wydawać tu werdykt. A po polskiemu się w Chained Echoes nie naumieli. Rozgrywka - no i tu będą kontrowersje. W grze nie ma randomowych bitew. Nie otrzymujemy też doświadczenia (co jest ewenementem w rpg). Dostajemy za to SP, dzięki którym możemy podkręcić odblokowane umiejętności. Ma to swoje plusy i minusy. Po pierwsze nie grindujemy aż tak bardzo (co nie znaczy, że możemy w ogóle tego uniknąć - stwory rzucają itemy niezbędne do rozwoju broni). Po drugie swoboda rozwoju postaci nie istnieje - umiejętności rozwijają się hurtowo u wszystkich, po walkach z bossami, czyli walki poboczne mają dla rozwoju znaczenie raczej marginalne. Jeśli dodać do tego notoryczne komunikaty: nie mogę teraz tam iść, lub to niewłaściwa droga, zaraz widać, że swoboda poczynań gracza jest iluzoryczna. I to jest największa bolączka gry. Na plus - gra wygląda na długą. Po 12 godzinach cały czas się rozkręca. Przypomnę - gra jest dobra. Przypadła mi do gustu o wiele bardziej niż Octopah Traveler 1, ale śmiało można jej zaśpiewać "nie dokazuj, miła, nie dokazuj. przecież nie jest z ciebie taki cud".

One of the best JRPG since a while. First of all its not a remake or remaster. But orginal product. Word is deep. It has history and waight to it. In main story you get some of it and rest is found in books some talks. So If you don't want to you will get only basic to understand the plot. If you want to dig deeper you can. The main plot is more then just local group of children will save a word. It's more japanese stile with religion politics and psyhologic aspects. I would say its most similar to Radiant Historia. So preaty them good. System of progres and battle is fresh. Nothing totaly new. The lv up system is chrono cross with skills that lv up ala ff7, there is a system of sloth similar to that of materia from ff7. But its hard to have something that was not somwhere else its been 36 years since dragon quest 1. And if you dont have a special gimmeke tool in your console that makes game that platforme uniqe, its hard to do something new. Here its mix of mechanics that worked in other games and combained are working well in this game. The grafic is well a mix point for me. Its great and beautifull when it need to be. But we soon can see lack of variety. Just like on that 16bit jRPG when we need to save space thers only so many NPC you can make from the sets we have. And the number is big enouth to not have one npc model for like shop ovner npc villiger, but small enough to start asking if this one guy have 3 twin brothers. Those 4 brothers look great but in 2022 we have smoe more space. Word and dungeons are diffrent and with they own character. And even if some are simiar its probably cose in real life most caves are same so you can and should reuse assets there. Music is good as you dont hear it. And that means its imersive and dont disturb in enjoying the word. It is there to help me with getting that that gigant monster is boss, duh, as here is the boss theam not regular battle. Areas have they uniqe and matching with environment but its not Nobuo Uematsu. You wont be having ringtone from it but work and while not on my playlist i can fink of people that will be lisining to that music for some work or to relax. The music is vast so any one will find something for they best song Over all best jRPG of 2022 and one of the best for quiet a lot of time. With fresh word, story and characters that are naive but thought-provoking at same time. A turn bassed battel mechanic that is mix of many ideas that somehow works together and are easy to get hard to masster. I think that it should have a playce next to chronotrigers Final fantasy 6s and dragon quests 3 on our shelves

A masterpiece. Great battle mechanics, great story, great art, great music. As good as FF7 if not better

Dawno nie zagrałem w tak udanego jrpg. Mieszanka Finał Fantasy, Suikoden czy Xenogears wyszła całkiem fajnie. Czuć moc dawnych konsol, czasów snesa, nintendo i psx. Doskonały pokaz, że nie wszystko złoto, co nie wyprodukowane na Unreal Engine. System nie jest niczym odkrywczym - ot zaporzyczenia z wielu kultowych japońskich rpgów, ale... To się po prostu w Chained Echeos dobrze sprawdza. Fabuła bardzo ciekawa, liniowa, ale to w żadnym razie nie przeszkadza w zabawie. Jestem pewny, że kilka razy da w mor*ę nawet największym wyjadaczom, co to sądzą, że są w stanie wszystko przewidzieć (takim jak ja) . Zakończenie ciekawe, a masa (celowych) niedopowiedzeń pozwala mi pomarzyć o kontynuacji albo DLC. Czy kupiłbym następną część lub wspomniane DLC? Bez wątpienia! Niestety na chwilę obecną, po zakończeniu wszystkiego brak regrywalności, ale ma to się zmienić z trybem new game +. W moim mniemaniu 9/10

Absolutnie najlepsze jRPG 2022 dla mnie i jedno z najlepszych w jakie gralem w ostatnim czasie. Swietna historia i zwroty akcji - goraco polecam to dla mnie AAA+++ ;-)

One of best RPGs I ever played. 90h passed like eyes blink and I completed major of achievments. Before this game I just finished original (not remastered) Final Fantasy VII, and I notcied quite big influence of that game to Chained Echos. You can feel this is FFVII like story with very nice and challenging battle system.

Marvelous example of what a great JRPG should be. Captivating story, compelling gamemplay and memorable soundtrack is all you need. While playing the game i had the same feeling when i was playing Chrono Trigger more than 15 years ago. This is a must play.

[h1] Chained Echoes [/h1] "Take up your sword, channel your magic or board your Mech as you follow a group of heroes on their journey through the war-ridden land of Valandis." [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Chained Echoes might look like your typical JRPG game, but the fact that it was made by one person from Germany changes the perspective of some gameplay details. Standard thing - you have a party of unique characters (who join you throughout the adventure) with unique abilities that you level up. You also get access to sky armor, which is made for encounters with bigger enemies. You also upgrade abilities for them and their gear. The unique part about battle system is that you get an overdrive system, which means that you have to stay in the green zone to dish out more damage and take less damage. Sometimes this system can get annoying, but you can use an override item to quickly deal with the nuisance. The other annoying thing lies within the gear upgrading system, crystals that you put into armors and weapons, but after a certain point in the game it gets better. One huge issue I have with the crystal system is that the UI for upgrading it is clunky and convoluted. The other big issue is the skills, some of them are straight up useless and you can feel there is just too many of them. [h1] Graphics and Music [/h1] The pixel art looks gorgeous, the areas are distinct and have their own enemies. Sometimes the enemies look ridicoulous - you fight a shashlik (lmao), but they somehow fight into this fantasy world. The sky armors have a couple of different frames which you can colour, which is really nice. The music is ok, it's nothing special but it serves it purpose pretty well. For me there are no standing out tracks. but I really like the sounds of skills. [h1] Story and characters [/h1] The game has a couple of protagonists which you stick to mostly for around 20-25 hours, after that period if you manage to do some quests some new characters join. For the first part of the game the characters are ok, they are doing their job, but there is no one really standing out positively or negatively, which might be good for some people, I didn't mind at all. When it comes to the story it is vast and expansive, reads like a book which I found cool, but the beginning might be rough with all the exposition. Sometimes you can get lost, but the more you play the more the world starts to get coherent. The story itself has a lot of twists and turns, I really enjoyed it. [h1] Summary [/h1] pros - gorgeous pixel art - addictive gameplay loop - alot of cool skills to pick from - sky armor design - expansive story cons - alot of useless skills - terrible crystal merging UI - when you move down camera is awkward, sometimes you don't see enemies and that starts a fight [h1] Grade[/h1] I give this game 8/10, its mostly targeted to fans of old school jrpgs, some may dislike it, some may find it really good, it really depends on what are you looking for in these types of games. I had a lot of fun with it and I'm going back to finish it and to fight all bosses. Wish me luck!
