Seven years of development and still going
Chained Echoesis a retro Japanese-inspired RPG set in a world of dragons and mech suits. It seemingly already has the scope of the 16-bit games that inspired it, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t post-release updates to come. Its developer is now working on a New Game Plus mode.
In terms of future content plans, “Matthias is currently working on NG+ and some smaller Quality of Life improvements,” says the post. “Anything else, may it be a DLC or a Sequel… honestly, we haven’t really thought about that just yet. Once we’re finished with patching the critical issues you’ve found, we’ll sit together and discuss possible options.”
Katharine was impressed with Chained Echoes when shedove into it pre-release last month. She was particularly taken with its combat system, where you’re choosing attacks partly to control an “Overdrive bar” that can either supercharge your attacks or leave your party vulnerable.
High praise from Katharine, who knows her way around thebest JRPGs
