Rabbit and Bear Studios’ Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has seen a long journey since its 2020 Kickstarter (including the passing of director Yoshitaka Murayama), but is now finally playable. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch version has some issues, including a bug preventing a major character’s recruitment.
There’s also a bug preventing access to War Mode, the grid-based combat system. The developer told IGN, “We are aware of issues surrounding the current version of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes on the Nintendo Switch, and we’re addressing them as a maximum priority. We are diligently researching technical improvements for Switch performance issues, aiming to release this patch at the earliest possible opportunity.”
Rabbit and Bear will address the above progression blockers in Version 1.0.4 (noted to be “nearing completion”). In the meantime, Version 1.0.3 is available and fixes several issues relating to stability, optimization, game balance, and more. The full patch notes aren’t available, so stay tuned for further updates.
Along with the Nintendo Switch, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. You can read our review, where we praised its aesthetic, old-school elements, and story-telling, though its main protagonist, Nowa, combat, and enemy balance could use some more refinement. Though it’s early days yet for the title, the developer is “moving forward” with sequel.
