SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada

“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.”

“Initially, the title is fun , we always want to go out to explore and, above all, we are greedy in collecting resources that will allow us to expand our base and buy more equipment. The problem, however, is that this cycle becomes less and less attractive as we continue with the exits on the surface.”

“Synduality: Echo of Ada is an extraction shooter poor in content and plagued by a pay to win system. The slow progression make a frustrating experience.”

“Synduality: Echo of Ada from developer Game Studio Inc. has the potential to be bigger and better than it currently is with the initial release. As it stands now, the gameplay is a bit bland with battles, the exploration needs to create more motivation to give players more meaningful substance, and bigger story pieces that could help players connect with the gameplay. Given time, this game could be outstanding.”

“A game that is unacceptable due to its structure, filled with all the wrong choices.”

“Bandai Namco takes advantage of one of its latest anime, Synduality: Noir. to create Synduality: Echo of Ada. A game that invites us to shoot monsters, enemies and other players while we travel on the back of our own mecha. The customization and preparation of each raid become an important part of the proposal while we get resources, fight and get money to improve our subway headquarters. With touches of roguelike and a lot of desire to keep us glued to the control as long as possible, the lack of content and automation make that in the end we are left wanting more.”

“SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada has some neat ideas that separate it from other extraction shooters on the market, but it can't fully shake off its repetitive nature and half-baked concepts. The fun loop of exploring a dangerous world, gathering resources and trying to survive the numerous threats trying to take you down goes a long way initially but eventually loses steam as monotonous grindy objectives rear their ugly head on maps without much variety. For now, SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada doesn't quite live up to its ambitions; but with its decent foundations and a bit of time to add, improve and tweak its interesting universe, it could grow into something special down the track.”

“SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada is a refreshing take on the extraction shooter genre. Utilizing its lore-rich gameworld and anime aesthetic, the game delivers on many of the key elements which make a great PvPvE experience. Gameplay and progression are satisfying while each run carries with it the edge of a potentially fatal encounter. While the game looks good and is fun to play, there are certainly glaring flaws when it comes to the in-game microtransactions and paid items being lost or stolen. Overall, SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada is a great game which I'd recommend to anyone who is a fan of extraction shooters and the anime aesthetic.”

“Synduality: Echoes of Ada is an extraction shooter that, while really easy to get into, might be difficult to stick with considering its bland art style and simplistic gameplay that ends up not having enough depth.”

“It’s really tough to recommend SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada. There’s really nothing worth investing in to keep you coming back into this extraction shooter. It’s interesting in concept but the flaws in its execution along with it being filled with some in-your-face microtransactions make it hard to even approach.”

“Synduality has some smart ideas, but the end result is a misguided, hollow franken-game.”

“Synduality Echo of Ada is the ultimate extraction experience - sanding off rough edges and putting a shine on the most exciting elements of the genre. Bundled together with cool mechs, customizable characters, and tight combat just makes this sweet experience even sweeter.”

“Synduality: Echo of Ada had the potential to carve out its own niche by being an accessible extraction shooter available on console. It’s not completely without merit, with its snappy gunplay making for an exciting PvPvE experience and the novel Magus system initially showing a lot of promise. However, a laborious early game grind, and monetization so egregious that I don’t see anyone but the most hardcore of audiences sticking around severely sour the experience. Whether Game Studio can course correct remains to be seen, but early signs point towards yet another live service title that runs the risk of having its lifespan cut short due to excessive grind and greed.”

“SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is an interesting extraction shooter that can evoke a varied experience. The developers should speed up the progression, but if you are looking for a game that provides a pleasant sense of danger - this will be a really good option.”

“SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is one of the most unique and entertaining online games that I've ever played. At the same time, it can be an extremely frustrating experience if you don't play it carefully so be prepared to keep your eyes peeled during every mission. 🤖”

“SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is an extraction shooter where players mine AO Crystals, engage in battles, and try to survive in a hostile environment. The core gameplay loop is engaging, offering strong customization options for both mechs and Magus companions, as well as a world full of environmental hazards that add tactical depth. The game’s replayability is bolstered by the progression system, encouraging players to return for more sorties. However, the narrative is lackluster, with no compelling plot to drive the player forward, and the PvP aspect suffers from unbalanced gameplay where new players are often thrown into the same map as fully equipped veterans, leading to frustration.”
