The game was put on Kickstarted in 2020 and was a big success.

In the beginning of the Kickstarter campaign the team of "Rabbit & Bear Studios" asked for a humble 570.000 Dollar to get the project started.

The Story of Eiyuden Chronicles

The 100 "Stars of Destiny"

Suikoden had originally 108 Stars of Destiny which were collectible throughout the game. They were individual heroes with different talents, some who could help you in active battle and some who offered passive buffs to your fortress and other stuff. The more heroes you found the bigger your castle grew or with 108 Stars of Destiny you were able to influence destiny and get an alternative ending.

Eiyuden Chronicles includes 100 heroes and added 8 additional heroes as "Milestones" in the kickstarter campaign.

You can already see the Suikoden vibes when you just take a look at the maincharacters. I guess the long time fans already know who the bad and who the good guy is.

Known heroes so far are:

Hero 001: Nowa

Hero 002: Seign Kesling

Hero 003: Marisa

Hero 004: Lian

Hero 005: Garr

Hero 006: Melridge

Hero 007: Mio

Hero 101: Perrielle Grum

Age: 18 years old

HOME: A noble family in one of the League's lesser nations

FAVORITE FOOD: Tomato and cheese sandwiches

A young woman descended from a collateral branch of one of the League of Nation's royal families. She's sharp as a tack, a go-getter, and full of fire. Where others mince words, Perrielle sharpens them for the kill—and people deride her for that lack of demureness. "She'd be a lovely girl," they say, "if she wasn't always braying."

Perrielle's father, whom she loved dearly, died when she was little. She came to realize that for all the presents he'd showered her with, he'd never offered her a word of praise. Now, she is driven by this one thing she can never have: her father's approval.

"Those prune-faced mules on the council can shove it. I work twice as hard as the boys, and get thrice as much done! Well, that's fine. I'll put in four or five times the hours, if that's what it takes to shut their stupid, wrinkled old mouths!"

Perielle seems like a very capable young woman. If only others noticed how hard working and intelligent she is. We can't wait to see what she can do!

Hero 102: Yuferius VII

Age: 27 years old

HOME: Impershi'arc

FAVORITE FOOD: Avocado sushi

A shi'arc guard captain originally from Impershi'arc, his people's desert nation. His strategic eye and masterful ability to mount a defense have helped him secure mercenary work in many a town.

Yuferius may look scary, but he's a capable, detail-oriented commander who makes sure to learn the name of every soldier who serves under him.

QUOTE:

"Wha—? Who gives a tooth if they try to flank us! We're ready for 'em. It's THEM's not ready for US."

How exciting! Yuferius looks like a walking shark attack! He's definitely going to be an interesting addition to your army.

Hero 103: Hildi

AGE: 21

HOME: A military family

FAVORITE FOOD: Sugar toast

Seign's right-hand officer, a capable aide with an incredible attention to detail. Sometimes, Hildi is so prepared that she's ready to carry out her orders before they're given. While she hails from a famous military family, a disreputable act attributed to her father has sullied their honor. She is determined to restore dignity to her house.

Hildi's hobbies include tidying, organizing, tidying, cleaning, and tidying. When she's in a foul mood, she chases the soldiers from the barracks and cleans the dickens out of the place—their personal effects included—so they are extra careful not to rile her up.

QUOTE:

"Everything has been arranged, sir. Otherwise I wouldn't be doing my job."

Anyone would be lucky to have someone like Hildi at their side on the battlefield. Just don't annoy her!

Hero 104: Maxim

AGE: 24

PROFESSION: Officer in one of the League's armies

FAVORITE FOOD: Roast beef

A second lieutenant in the army of one of the League of Nations' member states. He's earnest to a fault, and isn't shy about professing his idealistic views. Fortunately, his soldiers and friends see past that and recognize Maxim as a likable and honest man who just wants to achieve his very best.

QUOTE:

"I already know the secret to success. Care to hear it? It's quite simple: don't stop trying to succeed."

Maxim sounds like he'll make for a reliable ally, if maybe a little too naive? I guess we'll see in the final game
