Before the Echo reviews

Before the Echo (zu for known as "sequence") Is a Music RPG with some new, and a Lot of well-used old Ideas. I recommend playing it with a Controller, but it can also be done without any Problems with the Keyboard. -Music: 9/10 very good Pieces, one/two more during but have been beautiful-gameplay: 10/10 the fights are very skill and strategy demanding the Menus are clearly structured and understandable-Aesthetics: 9/10 very nice Color choice and atmospheric backgrounds as well as Individual Characters, only the courted opponents might bother someone (me not). Story8/10 Initially quite simple (Waking up without Memories), but in the End very successful. Humor: 11/10 Many Good Dialogues especially with the Bosses, and wonderful Iteam Descriptions. Verdict: 9/10 Only problem of the Game is that if you want to have all The Iteams you often have to grin a little, which doesn't really bother due to the good Gameplay. Otherwise, a completely recommended Game that I like very much.

The Game is a very nice Mix of rhythm play with RPG Elements and actually has a good Story, which is relatively rare For a Rhythm game (the only other exception known to me is Elite Beat Agents, but that's a completely different Calibre ...). The Gameplay principle is quickly explained: From above, rhytmic arrows fall, indicating which direction to press. The first Innovation here is that there are three Playing fields at the same time. Each Match is a Battle against an Opponent, so there is a Defensive Field to ward off Damage to yourself, a Regeneration field around Mana And an Attacking Field to drop Spells himself. Since you can only "edit" one Field at the Moment, a very stimulating Multitasking Stress comes to a position Here. The second Innovation is the Spells. You can decide for yourself when which Spell should be used, which puts you on Top of Multitasking again. Spells and Equipment must be found or crafted. The Basic Ingredients for this must be obtained and then also pay for the crafting with XP. Therefore, the Game is sometimes a bit grinned, but was still prevalable for me. To Story I just say that the slightly Sci-fi is attached and I really liked it. She has just hit the right Mixture of Cliché and the Game just so in order to be stimulating enough but to look in again and again. Verdict: Recommendation for anyone who has what rhythm games left and can endure some Grind. PS: The Credits after the End of the Game are the Best I've ever seen. So more Developers should quit their Games.
