And we’re more than a year away from the release.”

Why take it down? The thing is: Yes, it shows off Chained Echoes but it does not represent the final quality of the game. We thought about taking it down as soon as Gamescom ends, but we wanted to give everyone a chance to give it a try. “We will take down the demo around September 7th. From today and until September 7th, PC gamers can head over at its official Steam store page and download it.ĭeck13 and Matthias Linda explained why they’ll be taking the demo down on September 7th.

This demo is based on the game’s pre-alpha build, and will give you a small glimpse at what you can expect from it.Īccording to Matthias Linda, this free demo will be available for a limited time. You can just use the same 5 or 6 characters for the entire playthrough and never worry about the others).Deck13 and Matthias Linda have released a free demo for their upcoming SNES-style JRPG, Chained Echoes. Additionally, some characters were cool conceptually but pretty useless in game. The main mechanic that brings the game down for me is the crystal system being complete RNG and the crafting system. Mechanics/Battle system: 7/10 (The overdrive system is a fun and unique system, didnt have any issues with it. Polish: 10/10 (Experienced 0 bugs during my entire playthrough) Amazing world building, twists and detail put into this game) Story: 10/10 (honestly a highlight considering how lazy some indie games are when it comes to story and just putting together something boring and predictable. I highly recommend this game to any fan of the genre, and without going into any spoilers, hope that with all the rich world building and open questions a sequel gets announced.

I have become, in recent years, one of those gamers that just wants to throw myself into the game, have fast action and don't care too much about story but Chained Echoes managed to bring back the old me that loves a gripping storyline, characters and sitting through cutscenes. After completing the game and 100%ing the achievements, I can say that this is one of the best JRPGs I have played in quite some time.
