Alter Echo, is a hack and slash game. You control your character in the third-person view. Your character can transform into different creatures. There is the human form; where you fight with your sword and slash at enemies. There is the gun form; where you turn into a robot-like creature with a gun that shoots lasers and launches grenades. And there is a stealth form; it's like a lizard and you have the ability to crawl on certain surfaces and you can also turn invisable in stealth form.

There is a long tutorial that teaches you how to use each form. A cool power in this game is that you can freeze time, when you have enough energy orbs. While time is frozen, your enemies are unable to move, but you will be able to execute deadly combo attacks with whatever forms you have.

Pros:

+freeze time

+cool looking combo attacks

+good music

+good sound effects

+nice graphics

+three transformation modes

Cons:

-cheap shots from enemies

-gets difficult fast

-becomes repetative

-linear gameplay

overall an average game. Freezing time and doing

combo attacks are fun, but very difficult to pull off.

I was also very annoyed by the cheap shots from the

cpu enemies.

I first saw this game about a month ago, not really knowing that much about it. I looked around & saw some very good reviews, & so I got it.

I must say that this is one of the most original games I've played in a good long while. The screen distortion effects, time dialation concept (not too unlike "Bullet Time" effects) & just the whole game in general was well thought out, & even more brilliantly executed.

I hightly reccommend this game.

I agree with the comments of the 'Freeze and Slash' review above, and have only a few things to add. The game has a bit of platforming, requiring you to switch between forms, but there is rarely much complexity to it (stealth/lizard form can climb on visually marked tracks, sword/human form can jump, gun/giant can shoot obstacles). The game requires some shifting between forms, but players can often get away with using one chosen form for the majority of combat, with the exception being boss battles. Overrall, a fun game, but one that could have been better.

p.s. Buy the Gun Form's creature grenade upgrade at some point in the middle of the game, you need it for the final boss

Honest reviews on Alter Echo

I bought this because of it's different game design. Over all it's a typical linear-action/adventure game but it has some jewels. It's challenging an only 'easy' if you use the health cheat code. Ounce you master the Time-Dilation mini-game its fun and needed if you want to beat the finial boss.

The end of the game is intensely-awesome because so much of the game-play changes. You end the game with a 3 part boss fight thats hard, But when you beat Paavos you get to "Finish Him" with what looks like a 2 minute Ultimate Technique!!!! (Ninja Gaiden Black)

The box and the title page was not original and was actually from somewhere like Hollywood video. Bad quality. Came in when it was supposed to. But I cannot even resell this if I wanted to.
