Chained Echoes Guide
Chained Echoes Gameplay
Chained Echoes is a turn-based role-playing video game with 16-bit-style visuals and visible enemies on the map, triggering encounters on the same screen similar to Chrono Trigger.
The battles are turn-based with each character having a standard attack, special abilities, items, and a defensive stance. Party members use attacks and abilities that raise the "overdrive" meter, which has an optimal green zone where abilities are more effective, but it can overheat, requiring specific abilities to discharge the excess.
The game takes place in Valandis, during a multi-generational war between three kingdoms. Instead of leveling up, characters automatically level up skills through battle with added skill point rewards. The player will control up to eight characters, and the game is estimated to last for 30 to 40 hours.
