You and an AI mech named Magus explore a dystopian landscape in the year 2222. A catastrophic poisonous rain event known as Tears of the New Moon nearly eradicated the human race — survivors fled to the underground city of Amasia. To survive, the player character known as a “Drifter” must sell AO Crystals, which can only be harvested from the polluted outside world. To travel, you’ll drive around in a vehicle called the Cradle Coffin, which you can customize.
The game will also have a unique PvP option, wherein playing online will support encounters with others plays on their own missions - you might collide head to head while trying to gather precious supplies
SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is a generic third-person extraction that challenges, engages, then bores.
Synduality: Echo of Ada presents an ambitious concept, trying to blend PvPvE gameplay with mech-based combat in a dystopian world. While there are some things that shine, like the strong visual design; it just doesn’t offset how extremely slow and grindy the early game is.
If you give it a chance, SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is an interesting game. It will still be a repetitive game, but it ends up becoming addictive. Its unique world and the desire to discover more about it can make up for the high grind and frustration - especially at the beginning - of losing everything because you were too ambitious.
SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is an interesting take on the extraction shooter model. Unfortunately, extremely slow pacing and some frankly bizarre design decisions may turn people away.
Getting to the best part is a grind, but if you put in some hours Synduality Echo of Ada eventually reveals itself to be a high-tension, mech-based extraction shooter.
