Review: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Story Expansion: The Chapter of Seign

With the initial announcements of the DLC expansions for Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, I admit that Seign’s didn’t spark my curiosity as much as the other two. That’s nothing against Seign’s character, of course! He’s one of the game’s more fleshed-out and interesting people. Instead, my lukewarm feelings regarding The Chapter of Seign stemmed from the fact that the story expansion covers the period during the events of Eiyuden Chronicle as opposed to being a prequel like Marisa’s or focusing on a less covered character like Markus. It’d need to be a stronger DLC than The Chapter of Marisa to justify its time frame and my investment.

Imagine my surprise discovering that The Chapter of Seign manages to be a stronger DLC outing, if only slightly. I ended up more invested in this expansion’s overall plot than the first DLC’s and genuinely enjoyed the all-too-brief time playing it. This enjoyment stems from the DLC not only delving into a story event only alluded to in the main game but also introducing new characters to further flesh out Eiyuden Chronicle’s world-building. Plus, The Chapter of Seign brings a tangible reward back to the main game upon completion.

Overall, there are not many negatives regarding The Chapter of Seign. As far as the current two Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes DLC expansions are concerned, it’s the stronger one if only by a slim margin. I enjoyed it more than I initially thought, enough to lament it being far too short. Grace, in particular, is an excellent addition to the cast, even though it’s disappointing that she joins the main game so late. While I’m still unsure if it is worth the current price, The Chapter of Seign is one DLC I could see picking up at a discount. It’s certainly a step in the right direction for Eiyuden Chronicle's story expansions. I can only hope that the third and final one will be even more of an improvement.

Score: 77/100
