    Echo Generation is a charming RPG, specially if you like TV Series like Stranger Things. However, it is also a bad balanced experience.

    It's okay, interesting art direction but overall it's just a fetch quest game with some turn based fighting that's dependent upon timing.It's okay, interesting art direction but overall it's just a fetch quest game with some turn based fighting that's dependent upon timing.

    This is a cute Paper Mario like game with an interesting blocky aesthetic, as if everything were constructed from legos. The storyline isThis is a cute Paper Mario like game with an interesting blocky aesthetic, as if everything were constructed from legos. The storyline is very quirky. At its heart, it's a paranormal kid's adventure, sort of like Stranger Things, except the whackiness is dialed up to 11.

    There are some real annoyance that bring the game down a bit. Combat follows the Paper Mario model of playing little button minigames to perform attacks. A lot of these minigames for powerful attacks are somewhat annoying though, and not worth performing over more reliable moves. They also don't give you time to read what you're supposed to do. By the time you read what the enemy's attack minigame is, it's already too late to perform it. Enemy bosses tend to play out the same, except with more hit points, usually in increments of 50. It's easy to cheese the game using items. Overall the combat is a bit lacking and repetitive, and poorly balanced.

    When you get new party members they start at level 1. Healing is limited in this game. After almost every battle you have to run back all the way home to rest in bed, so the only real choice for party member is the cat, who can heal.

    I like what the developers were trying to accomplish here. The game is charming, and a nice attempt overall. It reminded me a lot of the Costume Quest series, which is one of comfort games.
