Led by Suikoden series creator Yoshitaka Murayama before his death, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has been deemed a spiritual successor to Suikoden, the beloved 1990s RPG series. We gave Hundred Heroes a 7 in our review, saying it "mostly succeeds in weaving the stories of multiple countries and characters together into a sprawling epic" despite a slow start.
