Anime adaptations of video games usually go one of two ways: they either work out or they completely miss the market. In the case of Chain Chronicle, we can say that the producers have done a solid job. The story works out, the characters are not complete clichés, and the artwork (which is especially important if you have a fantasy universe and/or lots of action scenes) doesn’t have to hide itself either.
