good game

Combat is tough at first with every fight a potenial loss. But you learn more about the mechanics and how they work and it becomes chalenging rather that leathal.

Slaps Harder Than Existential Dread

Let me tell you a tale. A tale of swords, sorcery, airships, and deeply relatable anthropomorphic lion-men who deliver side quests and sarcasm in equal measure. That’s right, I’ve been playing Chained Echoes, and it’s as if someone threw classic Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and a spicy webcomic into a blender, hit ‘puree’, and poured out a pixelated cocktail of emotional trauma and top-tier gameplay. At first, I thought this was going to be another charming indie RPG where you save the world with the power of friendship and improbable hair physics. Boy, was I wrong. This game hands you a bouquet of flowers one moment, and then smacks you with the funeral card the next. It’s like the writers woke up and chose emotional violence. Let’s talk about the furries. And no, not in the “look what the internet dragged in” way. These anthropomorphic NPCs are legit. They’re warriors, shopkeepers, sages—basically full-time employees of Emotional Damage Inc. One lion-looking guy gave me a mission to retrieve a relic and then casually dropped a line about how his entire tribe was slaughtered in the war. Sir. I just wanted to know where the inn was. I came for the 16-bit nostalgia, and I stayed because a fox-man monk told me to embrace the chaos of war while petting a squirrel. Also, there’s a bear who runs a library. A bear. Who. Runs. A. Library. If you don’t think that’s the pinnacle of game design, you’re playing the wrong genre, my friend. The combat? Crispier than a chicken wing left in the fryer five seconds too long. Turn-based but snappy. Strategic but not in the "let me spend an hour min-maxing" way. Every fight feels like a tactical slapfight between drama students on Red Bull. And don’t get me started on the mech battles. They straight-up let you pilot Gundam suits like it’s casual Tuesday, and you’re late for your giant-robot Pilates class. Oh, and the humor? Imagine Monty Python got locked in a dungeon with Edgar Allan Poe and they wrote dialogue together while
