This was pretty disappointing. Sure the game is impressive for being done by a simple person but that doesn't really help when it is not that enjoyable to play. At its core Chained Echoes is a beautiful and great sounding turn based JRPG with an intriguing world. But there are so many unnecessary subsystems tacked on in terms of party composition and battle it devolves into tedium quickly. The overdrive system would be a fun boss gimmick but as a constant companion it makes random battles a slog. Crystals and equipment upgrades are not really interesting and just serve to bloat the inventary and introduce way too much menuing. Sienna is cool, the rest of the cast pretty bland and the plot felt held back by a stiff script. Overall the game could have used some editing in multiple places to make it shine since there is some great potential hidden within. I'll at least keep an eye out for the developer's next project.
