A deeper look into Marisa’s journey
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - Story Expansion: The Chapter of Marisa shifts focus to Marisa’s past, acting as a prequel to the popular RPG. This DLC follows her and her companion as they embark on a journey to uncover secrets about the "Child of the Rune" and mysterious forces at play.
Limited new content
While Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - Story Expansion: The Chapter of Marisa attempts to flesh out Marisa’s background, its gameplay offerings are limited. The DLC has a runtime of about an hour and consists of only a few light puzzles, three areas, and two boss fights. Players looking for meaningful exploration or new mechanics might find the content lacking.
For those who have played the base game, this DLC might feel unnecessary. Marisa, Lenne, and Nil’s backstories were already explored in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, making the expansion’s narrative feel repetitive. Without new revelations or significant plot development, it fails to add much to the overall experience.
A redundant expansion for fans
Ultimately, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - Story Expansion: The Chapter of Marisa struggles to justify its existence. While it might appeal to die-hard fans of the character, the limited content and lack of meaningful additions make it an underwhelming expansion. Unless you’re eager for every bit of lore, this DLC is easy to skip.
