A 2,5D metroidvania with platforming elements, set in a sci-fi world inspired by Greek and Roman mythologies. Somber Echoes takes place on board of the Atromitos spaceship that's overrun by monsters. We explore, climb and deal with enemies using a futuristic spear.
Somber Echoes is a metroidvania set in a universe combining elements of Greek and Roman mythologies with sci-fi. The game was developed by Rock Pocket Games - a Norwegian development studio whose portfolio includes such projects as Shiftlings.
In Somber Echoes we play the role of a heroine named Adrestia, who wakes up on board the spaceship Atromitos. A mysterious cataclysm turned this ship into a habitat for monsters from another dimension. To make matters worse, the protagonist's twin sister - Harmony - intends to destroy the Universe. Our character has no choice but to move forward and try to find a way to put an end to the problems before things completely get out of control.
In Somber Echoes we watch the action from the side. Adventure leads us through diverse, futuristic locations on board the Atromitos. Individual levels are connected with each other, creating a kind of extensive labyrinth. While traversing them, Adrestia jumps on platforms, performs wall runs, avoids traps and terrain obstacles, and faces various monsters, including powerful bosses.
The protagonist uses a spear, which she throws at enemies and with which she fights in close combat. The heroine must constantly be on the move, avoid attacks and parry them, as well as launch quick counterattacks. As Adrestia progresses, she gains new powers and skills that allow her to face increasingly greater challenges, as well as reach hard-to-reach places.
Somber Echoes runs on Unreal Engine 5.
