The other four characters in your party of six include the sly but kind hearted thief Sienna, an undercover princess Lenne and her bodyguard Robb, and a noble lord Victor. He is accompanied by his mentor and friend Kylian as they venture out to find the source for a weapon of mass destruction. But I guess you can say the “main” main character is Glenn, a red haired boy adopted into a group of mercenaries who just happens to also be an excellent mech pilot. Since you end up gathering a team of multiple characters, there isn’t one central main one. The game is set on the continent of Valandis, where a raging war ensues among three kingdoms, and super cool advanced mech battle robots and dragons exist in the same reality. The characters fatefully cross paths in a narrative set piece that ultimately forms your starter party for the rest of the game. You play as several different characters, with different backgrounds and motivations, in various parts of the game world. I’ll just say it now: Chained Echoes starts off very slow and quite confusing, but stick with it. Originally started as a Kickstarter back in 2019, this indie pixel turn based RPG created by a solo developer is finally releasing on all modern day platforms. Matthias Linda’s Japanese-inspired role playing game Chained Echoes not only pays immense homage to the games we played under the covers when we were kids, but also brilliantly embraces some modern mechanics while honoring old ones. Many indie games nowadays attempt to capture the essence of retro old school 16-bit titles, but only a few are able to truly shine and stand out.
