His project raised €163,222 (about $174,219 as of this writing) for the promise of a pixelated JRPG that captures everything people love from the best the SNES and PlayStation era of the genre has to offer. Though much of Matthias Linda's early development came from cutting his teeth on unfinished RPG Maker homages, roughly 4,600 people put their faith in the developer. Many developers have tried in recent years but few so rarely stack up.
I’ve already ordered a physical copy.Attempting to harness the nostalgia of past generations to craft a gaming experience that feels familiar yet new is a monumental task. Hopefully Chained Echoes is a success and we can see future projects from its creator. Every single element of Chained Echoes is full of loving attention to detail. It’s more ambitious than the common indie throwback JRPG, but has many of their modernizations. But, you know a video game is fantastic when your biggest complaint is the character portrait art.įans of old school 2D JRPGs, who would like something made today that resembles the great Super Nintendo and PS1 classics, need to play Chained Echoes. The character portraits also lack the creativity of the rest of the game’s design. The character portraits have that common indie “child’s attempt at anime art” appearance, and I’m not a fan. My only complaint is about the character art and design. Colors are vibrant, and some of the designs are wonderfully intricate. The pixel art looks great, with gloriously detailed backgrounds and bosses. It has a great variety, while still sounding nostalgic and fitting for the JRPG genre. Chained Echoes looks and sounds beautiful.
