Given that Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes serves as the spiritual successor to Yoshitaka Murayama's fantastic Suikoden series, the fact that it leans so heavily into classic JRPG tropes and mechanics should come as a surprise to no one. In addition to random encounters, turn-based combat, and a ridiculously large cast of potential party members, the game features one iconic yet highly limiting mechanic that some younger players may not be too familiar with.
