The creators behind the Suikoden series have revealed Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, a new crowdfunded RPG that's getting a Kickstarter campaign Monday, July 27.
As detailed on the game's official website, Suikoden I and II scenario writer Yoshitaka Murayama has teamed up with Suikoden designer Junko Kawano to form Rabbit & Bear, the studio behind what's being billed as a spiritual successor to Suikoden.
Paying homage to classic JRPGs from the original PlayStation, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes features a guild system, fortress-building, gorgeous 2.5D graphics, a massive cast of over 100 unique, pixel-based characters, and a "story of war and friendship" at its center.
"Eiyuden Chronicle is about war, or more importantly, the intention and feelings of the 100 heroes who fight that war from a variety of perspectives and for a variety of different reasons," Murayama said. "And of course the drama that can only occur when a group of different people from different walks of life come together and must wage a war of life and death.
