Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a dynamic action RPG with city expansion, in which we learn the story of several characters before the war in a fantasy world. Game was developed by 505 Games studio.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an introduction to another game set in the same universe, namely Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Game allows you to get to know the history of several characters, which in the continuation act as fully playable heroes, and combines it with sidescrolls, dynamic skirmishes and expansion of the city. Game was partly funded thanks to the successful campaign on Kickstarter and it was developed by Rabbit and Bear studio, which includes the creators of the famous Suikoden.
Plot
The game is set in a fantasy universe where humans, elves, beasts and desert people live side by side. Over the years, thanks to the alliances formed between them, they managed to maintain peace, although there were still acts of aggression. Rising, unlike other Eiyuden Chronicles, has several protagonists and focuses on telling the story of each of them before they take part in the upcoming war.
Mechanics
In this installment we focus on exploring the world and learning about the history of characters who will play a key role in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. However, there are also battles with various opponents, requiring from us a good sense of timing and dexterity, because they are quite dynamic. In addition, we will find here segments that allow us to expand the city.
Technical aspects
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising combines 2D and 3D graphics, which we observe from a side perspective, with a typical fantasy style.
Besides, the developers promise that by combining this part with Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, players can expect some minor bonuses.

IGN: 7 / 10 by Henry Stockdale
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a fun companion to Hundred Heroes, offering a bitesize action RPG that stands up on its own merits.
God is a Geek: 6.5 / 10 by Lyle Carr
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising has flashy combat and gorgeous visuals, but the repetitive gameplay loop really holds it back.
Game Revolution: 8 / 10 by Jason Faulkner
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a hearty appetizer for Hundred Heroes. I think Natsume Atari accomplished its mission of giving players a taste of what the world of Hundred Heroes has to offer, and I’ve gotten less enjoyment out of much more expensive games. You can’t ask for much more for a budget title that was created as a stretch goal for a Kickstarter project.
