Eiyuden Chronicles Rising is an action RPG town building thing, sold as a prequel snack for upcoming JRPG. I am surprised how much I liked this game in the end, seeing as it has pretty simple and repetitive fetch quests and simple gameplay. The action is indeed simple enough that you can play it as cozy city building following some story lines and all that, the plot is ok and characters are quite fun and memorable, which shouldn't come as a surprise since this is a prequel to a character-heavy JRPG. There some overarching quality in the game that makes it seem more like an indie title than anything, most being the graphics, they're quite messy and it's hard to tell things you can interact from backgrounds and worst of all it has foreground stuff blocking the view, which I absolutely hate.
