Good Work... But... This is not a Good Game...
Reviews for "Echoes: Act 1"
shame
i really wanted to like this game nice graphics and its rare to find a game with good voice acting but the scenes went on forever and the game play was just walking forward slowly shooting it was so dull
Frustrating!
The story is ok
The plot is stupid
Voice acting is ok
Script is not, too much dragging, not much of importance.
Controls are awkward
-sprinting is slow
- jumping forward can be triggered without tabbing the button twice.
-Sometimes, Dem runs the wrong way (not likely to be a lag)
-After being knock back (fighting with Diabolus) the weapon changed
-Controlling your soldiers should've been easier (hotkeys perhaps?)
Gun is so extremely useless (knife is more powerful & I beat the game with it)
Can't zoom out in combat mode
Diabolus is sometimes invincible
Your friends can't die, but you can. So I never feel anything for them. Hell, I let them do all the work.
A pause button, or a time stop during strategy mode for an easier management
When Dem is dead, stop pulling the camera back to him in strategic mode, it's already frustrating enough when you can't give any commands in strategy mode but moving.
Command options in strategy mode
These things better be fixed in Echoes 2
Not "great", "wow", or "very good"
The game is solid, there is no problem when the technical aspect pf this game. But the problem lies in the game play. There is little strategy involved with combat. All you do is stand in one spot incapable of vertical movement. so there is no dodging, or avoiding bullets.
The story is a snooze, I know i dont want to sit around and sift through brick after brick of pointless chatter. Its not even like its interesting to read, half the screen is filled with box after box of dry chatter that just keeps coming and coming! God its so frustrating to have half the screen filled with this crap. Can I just get back to the vanilla flavored action?
The graphics where nothing to be admired, the super small figures running back and forth shooting smaller specs of light at each other is a strain on the eyes and makes the player really regret even clicking on this game. the was no life the the picture boxes on the dislodge bricks, they where all middle school art class caliber anime renderings.
Its not all negative though, i thought the strategy part was fun, but again there is no point to it really when you only have two directions to move. No troop flanking, or something of that sort, just brute force.
I am not going to spent any more time on this, and it frustrates me to see these other reviews saying that this game is so amazing and a master piece when it no where neat either! It is simply a game and that is its only redeeming quality, come on citizens of new groudns have some damn scruples.
Boring
I almost fell asleep during the cinematics ( and waiting during the gameplay)
