[ Guide ] Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes – Where to Recruit Every Characters

True to its name, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes does indeed have about a hundred characters to recruit. With so many characters to recruit, it obviously gets confusing and difficult to keep track of everyone.

As such, here we have prepared a guide, going through every character in the game and where you can find them. Some characters will join you automatically or only after a single conversion, but some have specific conditions to fulfill in order to show up. Note that characters may not be available in specific story segments, but as long as you see a recruitment splash screen, they are already recruited and will be available once the story brings them back.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a great homage to classic JPRGs. If you are still on the fence about it, we gave the game a 7/10 in our review, and said, “Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has a lot going for in echoing the classic. It has an eye-pleasing timeless visual, a well-written and intriguing story, and excellent music, but sadly marred by pinches of poorly thought-out elements that should have gone through more playtests.”
