Chained Echoes, the incredibly highly rated indie RPG that launched for PS4 last year, is getting a major update in the near future. Out now on PC, the game’s latest patch adds a whole new Game+ mode, allowing you to replay the turn-based adventure as your character progresses.

- Changed: Reduced bonus from Agility passive and Class Symbol bonus
- Changed: Double Steps and Drunken Master do not stack.

Sadly, we never got around to reviewing Chained Echoes when it was released – but the overall reception of the game speaks for itself. Based on what we actually played of it, fans of classic Japanese RPGs should absolutely check it out.
