Limited Expansion for Eiyuden Chronicle Fans
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - Story Expansion: The Chapter of Marisa is a downloadable content (DLC) that explores Marisa's backstory as a prequel to the original RPG. It follows her journey alongside her companions as they delve into the mysteries surrounding the 'Child of the Rune.' The DLC introduces a brief narrative that aims to deepen the player's understanding of Marisa's character and her past. However, it features minimal gameplay elements, including light puzzles, three distinct areas to explore, and two boss encounters, resulting in a runtime of approximately one hour.
While the expansion provides additional lore, it may not satisfy players seeking substantial gameplay or fresh mechanics. The narrative feels repetitive, as key aspects of Marisa's story were already addressed in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, making this DLC feel unnecessary for many. Consequently, its appeal is primarily limited to dedicated fans looking for every scrap of lore, while others may find it easy to overlook.
