The only concern that I had when it came to the graphics was that it was very easy to get lost. There are also some areas that have amazing looking dynamic backgrounds and there are other areas that have a lot of good looking movement such as flowing water or ultra moves. Chained Echoes uses 16-bit style graphics and many of the areas including buildings and sprites look really good. Those are two games that I really enjoy so I figured Chained Echoes would be no different, but my experience with the game ended up being even better than what I was hoping for.įor starters, the game looks really good for a game of this size. Again: Keep in mind this is very much pre-alpha.When I first heard of Chained Echoes earlier this year, it struck me as some sort of ambitious crossover between the likes of Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem. We tease quite a few features but do not really show them off. And the Dualshock layout has not yet been implemented.

There are no real options in the Demo.The GUI for these, also when exploring the world, is just placeholder stuff. And there aren’t that many dialogues just yet. The dialogues were written exclusively for the Demo.You will still have fun (at least we hope so) but especially the Overdrive system will be way more complex in the final game, offering multiple stages of Overdrive and Overheat. The Combat System is not yet fully finished.The system is, more or less, in place already but for the demo we had to cut it out and change the balancing. There is no progression system in the demo.Here are also some additional details about this pre-alpha demo of Chained Echoes. 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. Deck13 and Matthias Linda have released a free demo for their upcoming SNES-style JRPG, Chained Echoes.
