The battle system is turn-based and centered on good use of combat abilities. There are no random encounters, with players always able to see a group before they engage it. There are characters to talk to, shops to get new equipment, secrets to find, resources to collect, and plenty of enemies to fight. The party will move across a variety of landscapes, ranging from cities to open areas to cursed temples and more. The universe is initially familiar but adds more surprises as the game progresses,Ĭhained Echoes mixes exploration and combat well. The good news is that the major characters, mainly party members, have well-defined personalities and that the dialogue is good. But peace is fragile and an unlikely party of heroes comes together to try and preserve it, while nobles conspire to re-launch hostilities.Īs with most JRPG narratives, it touches on big themes, like responsibility, the devastation of war, and the power of found family. A prologue allows players to experience a major catastrophe that ends a long war. The story takes place in a world called Valandis, which mixes fantasy and steampunk elements. The title is a classic Japanese role-playing experience with a cool universe. I played it on Steam on the PC and it is also available on the Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4, and the Xbox One.

And at the end, I will face a powerful boss, so I need to be as prepared as possible before I get there. Beyond it, another section of this desecrated temple awaits. I need to deal with them to find a mechanism that will allow me to open the gate. There are presumably more undead and ghosts waiting for me in this dungeon. Sienna, my clad-in-red thief, quickly dispatches him using a classic attack, The third member of the enemy group, another zombie, attacks, and deals some damage to Lenne, but he will not exist long enough to repeat the feat.
Glenn and Kylian use their own close-quarters skills to eliminate an undead soldier. But this turn I use her to launch a fiery spear attack, dealing just enough damage to a ghost to destroy it.
Lenne has my cleric mark, which means she is mostly responsible for mass heals and resurrections.
