Chained Echoes is a 16-bit style JRPG that has gone a little bit under the radar this past year. If you’re a fan of 90’s JRPGs then you should definitely try this game out.
However, even though the game is great, it’s surprisingly complex and treats you like an adult. That means it won’t explain each and everything about the game and its mechanics and will let you find it on your own.
In my opinion, that’s a good approach because no one wants to be treated like a 9-year-old (especially bratty 9-year-olds). But it has left some gamers baffled about what to do at certain parts of the game.
To help clear the confusion, we’re going to answer some FAQs about Chained Echoes and will add more in the future.
