Bought it a few years ago for my PS4, on a whim, and fell in love with it. But last summer I put it on my Deck and realized its the perfect way to play it.
Chained Echoes is a throwback turn-based RPG unabashedly inspired by games like Chrono Trigger and FF6. Its story and characters are complex but accessible, its gameplay is thoughtful but fast-paced, and its exploration is very rewarding. Visually, youd believe the sprite sizes and overall field of view were designed specifically for the Deck's screen size, had the game not come out before.
I work at a summer camp, and break out my Deck whenever I have downtime. Chained Echoes was my "Summer game" last year, and it was a perfect choice. It brought back memories of childhood, chilling with my cousin during summer break and watching her play through, well, Chrono Trigger and FF6 on her snes. Its was such a comforting feeling.
So if I could make a humble recommendation: put it on you Deckand play it over the course of this summer.
