Take up your sword, channel your magic or board your Mech. Chained Echoes is a 16-bit style RPG set in a fantasy world where dragons are as common as piloted mechanical suits.

❤ Innovative Combat System

The combat system is the standout feature, praised by players for its innovative mechanics and strategic depth. The core of the combat revolves around the "Overdrive" bar, which fills up as characters take actions. This bar is divided into yellow, green, and red zones - when in the green zone, characters receive stat boosts and reduced skill costs, but the red zone doubles damage taken and skill costs, putting the party at risk. To prevent the cursor from entering the red, players must use skills from specific categories suggested by the game, creating an engaging tactical puzzle.

❤ Skill Customization and Progression

Character progression is centered around a unique skill system, rather than traditional level-based advancement. Players acquire "Grimoire Shards" by defeating bosses and completing certain activities, which they then use to unlock and upgrade a wide variety of active and passive skills for each character. This allows for a high degree of customization and experimentation with character builds. Further progression comes from improving equipment and slotting powerful "Gems" into gear, providing additional stat boosts and abilities. Thorough exploration is rewarded, as many hidden areas and optional challenges offer valuable Grimoire Shards and rare crafting materials.

❤ Mech Combat and Aerial Exploration

The gameplay also features "Sky Armors" - powerful mech suits that allow for aerial combat and exploration. During certain battles, players can board their mechs, which have their own unique skill sets and combat mechanics, providing a welcome change of pace. The mechs also enable players to revisit previously explored areas from a new aerial perspective, unlocking additional paths, hidden treasures, and challenges.
