Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

I purchased the game on GOG, initially believing the localization issues couldn’t be as bad as some claimed. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The localization does a great disservice to the game, robbing it of the charm that made Murayama's work so special. The persistent bugs, alongside the flawed localization, turn what should have been a triumphant revival for Suikoden fans into a disappointing missed opportunity. It's truly disheartening.

With the patch fixing the botched localization I'm having a blast.

I love this game, makes me nostalgic back when playing suikoden series. If asked if satisfied, yes I am satisfied with this game. but is this game perfect? of course not. Too bad there are some bugs and the balancing of each character that looks lacking, especially magic and physical attacks. and unfortunately there is no unite magic even though it is very cool in the suikoden series. rating from me 4/5 Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Japanese Original: Thank you for creating one last great adventure, Yoshitaka Murayama, rest in peace. Thank you as well for bringing this to PC so that even more people can enjoy the spiritual successor to my favorite JRPG series of all time. Wonderful art style, classic story, nostalgic gameplay. English Translation: Pretend this is a successor to the Suikoden series, what do you get out of it? Ermagerd, Yoshitaka Murayama lolz ded. Oh what, you expected a genuine compliment here? One good hooray after accomplishing something unprecedented? Have a snide remark instead farthead! Genuine storiez are for chudz, sarcasm is all the rage these dayz. LoOk At Me, I'm ThE LoCaLiZeR NoW! Keep yo words outta my zone. Honestly, this is a good game. Will I look back 20 years from now and remember Nowa and Seign as fondly as I do Victor and Flick? Probably not, but the story as I'm playing through it now is a lot less genuine and heartfelt than the one I've seen translated from the original japanese, so once the mods come out that allow you to experience the game as Rabbit and Bear studios intended maybe I'll feel differently. Even in spite of all the modern dayisms that were peppered thoughout, I would still recommend this game over most other games that've come out in the past year.

One of the best traditional JRPG I have ever played. I just spent two hours in the very first quest. This is going to be one of those long rewarding memorable gaming experiences! This is so good and beautiful to even behold, that it made me write my first ever review on GOG. Good gaming!
