    Somber Echoes is a myth-infused 2D Metroidvania where you play as Adrestia, a fallen tribune navigating a haunting sci-fi world to stop her sister from unraveling reality. With fluid traversal, deliberate swordplay, and striking visuals, it offers a focused and stylish experience. While the combat and story can feel a bit thin, it’s a memorable, atmospheric journey worth taking.

    If it featured more visceral and tight combat, Somber Echoes would be an excellent Metroidvania with its awesome game world to explore.
