The events that transpire on this battlefield reverberate through the political intrigue-filled narrative of warring nations and our heroes being caught amongst the chaos. Your troop of mercenaries have been hired to help liberate the recently overtaken kingdom of Wyrnshire on the continent of Valandis. Off the jump you’re laced into the boots of the main protagonist Glenn, an ace Sky Armor pilot and a key member of the Band of the Iron Bull. More often than not, an RPG is only as good as the tale it weaves, and I am happy to report that the story of Chained Echoes is one you’re going to want to bear witness to. Is drawing from a golden age of role playing games enough for Chained Echoes to stand up to today’s more modern standards, or is it best played with rose-tinted glasses equipped? The retro-inspired RPG comes from the mind of solo developer Matthias Linda. As if falling off of an airship or summoned with meteor Materia, RPG fans were jubilated when Chain Echoes dropped onto the Switch last December.
