WE ARE BACK! GOLDEN AGE OF JRPG'S - Chained Echoes: Review

Summary: A story-driven JRPG where a group of heroes travels around the vast continent of Valandis to bring an end to the war between its three kingdoms. Take up your sword, channel your magic or board your Mech. Chained Echoes is a 16-bit style RPG set in a fantasy world where dragons are as common as piloted mechanical suits. Verdict Chained Echoes reminds me that even a small team of two people can make a hit JRPG game like this...then AAA title companies take note:

Nostalgia is a powerful thing, so powerful that the once bygone era of 16-bit video games is now back and currently an oversaturated market more than ever. Every once in a while though, you find a gem worth playing. This time, it's titled Chained Echoes, a nostalgic 16-bit JRPG game in a fantasy world where Dragons and Mechas exist. Chained Echoes takes place on the continent of Valandis, a land teeming with magic and rich history, currently ruled by three warring kingdoms: Taryn, Escanya, and Garvos. Mostly set one year after a massive catastrophe resulting in heavy casualties for everyone, which forced all three kingdoms to sign a peace treaty. This is where the main characters come in, to stop an impending resurgence of the war and if possible, end it for good.
