Somber Echoes is a bit rough around the edges, but there is a lot of fun to be had with what this game has to offer. My review is after obtaining 100% achievements in 9 hours. Pros: - Combat is excellent. Attacks feel appropriately weighty, enemy attacks are properly telegraphed, and sniping enemies from across the map with the spear was never not satisfying. - The game looks excellent - Plenty of secrets to find and backtrack for - Movement is unique. There is no traditional double jump, instead you get an omnidirectional air dash - Frequent save points that double as fast travel points - An endgame feature that tells you where everything you missed is - Multiple endings with different final boss fights (which can all be viewed with one save file) Neutral: - Very easy outside of a couple of late game boss fights - No corpse runs or resources lost on death - No character builds or equi
I was pretty torn on this game. I very much enjoyed the first 75% of the game. It was shaping up to probably be a good solid B tier game. The end game absolutely ruined it for me and probably brings it down to a C tier game. It's really not a terrible game. It has some good things but the end game really ruined the fun for me. Positives: The game is quite immersive and has great atmosphere and art direction. It uses a very unconventional setting that helps make if feel unique and actually pulls it off quite well. A Sci-Fi, ancient greek space station with some lovecraftian vibes. Sounds crazy but really it worked quite well. Character progression is well paced and rewards you well for finding hidden areas and completing platforming challenges/puzzles. Upgrades feel meaningful and are pretty regularly paced. There was a stretch in the later part of the mid game where it felt a little
Somber Echoes blends fantasy, Greek mythology, and sci-fi themes into a large, interconnected world to explore. Featuring fluid animations, tight controls, memorable bosses and impressive sound and visual design, this Metroidvania delivers a deep yet engaging experience for newcomers and veterans alike. If you’re a Metroidvania fan, it’s a buy – If not, it’s a pass. 📝 Main Pros, Cons, and Suggestions, followed by the Review: 🟩 Pros: + Difficulty feels just right (subjective) + Controller, Steam Deck, & ultrawide monitor support + Voiced narrative delivered through environmental lore, gradually unveiling the story + Fast travel and interconnected districts ease the frustration of the limited checkpoints + Expansive open world where each district boasts unique aesthetics and secrets to uncover + Combat is challenging, emphasising blocking and reflecting, rewarding those with perfec
If you are lucky enough to read this review.....Somber Echoes caught me with my guard down in the best way possible. I expected Blasphemous in space and instead i got a masterfully narrated greek tragedy (Do you remember the Ulises 31 TV show?) with astounding visuals, AMAZING combat encouraging perfect parries and projectile deflecting all together with a lot of mobility ( Aether zapping is the best FRIGGING THING EVER). I cant wait to discover everything the game has in store! What a time to have video games as a hobby when a indie surprise feels more satisfying to play than a lot of titles with a MUCH more resourceful studio behind them. Now i dont only want you to buy this game....Buy a copy to your friends, mother.....EVERYONE and recomend Somber Echoes. Post Scriptum: Im not a bot.....Or a paid stooge, so stop reading and buy the game already!
TLDR, if you absolutely NEED a new metroidvania this checks that box, but honestly, you're better off just replaying Shadow Complex or another, far better title. I was initially sold on the trailer showing off the movement tech and indeed the movement is fairly solid. But that’s about where the good ends. What starts off as a standard metroidvania quickly devolves into mediocre and ends poorly. A lot of the other Steam reviews accurately suggest this as a 6/10 game. It’s not good, it’s not really that bad, but it’s unfortunately a solid framework/skeleton with varying degrees of execution. At the outset, the game does the common metroidvania practice of dumping you into it and letting you go on your way, but it never evolves past this. Some games prioritize exploration rather than guiding you where to go, but this one feels like it goes too far in that direction, often leaving you run
I tried to enjoy Somber Echoes, but it simply isn’t for me. The combat and encounters are too simple, and exploration, which is a main focus, is hindered by numerous obstacles that make traversing the landscape frustrating. Climbing onto some ledges or specific points requires a level of precision that feels unnecessary and aggravating. The issue lies in how platform heights are just within the player's jumping ability, making it frustrating to barely reach them. While traversal around precise ledges and small Lightstream points generally feels good, missing a jump by a small margin often results in falling into an electric trap, resetting the player at a checkpoint. The game is incredibly detailed, but to a fault. It’s easy to bypass interactable objects simply because they aren't easily perceptible. For example, I once missed a crane-controlling console because it blended too well int
