SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada Overview

SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is a third-person shooter published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Officially revealed in mid-2022, the game is part of a larger multimedia project, including an anime series titled SYNDUALITY Noir. Development updates have showcased the gameplay’s PvPvE elements, customization features, and the synergy between players and their AI companions.

Set in a dystopian future, the game takes place in the year 2222, following the catastrophic events caused by a phenomenon known as The Tears of the New Moon. This mysterious rain brought devastation, drastically reducing humanity’s population and giving rise to xenomorphic creatures called Enders. To survive, the remnants of humanity retreated to an underground haven while Drifters ventured to the surface to scavenge resources.

The central gameplay revolves around the collection of AO Crystals, a rare and vital resource. Players assume the role of a Drifter, tasked with exploring the hazardous surface while piloting a mecha known as the CRADLECOFFIN. Accompanied by Magus, an AI partner, players face hostile creatures, toxic rain, and the competitive threat of other Drifters.

The gameplay in SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada emphasizes exploration, combat, and resource management. Players navigate the surface world in their CRADLECOFFIN, a versatile mecha capable of traversing the harsh terrain and engaging in combat against Enders. The surface environment is perilous, marked by unpredictable weather patterns, toxic rains, and rival Drifters. To succeed, players must loot resources, battle hostile creatures, and carefully strategize their encounters with other Drifters, who may either aid or obstruct their mission progress.

The CRADLECOFFIN serves as the core gameplay mechanic, offering extensive customization options. Players can tailor their mecha with various body parts and weapon systems to suit different mission types and combat scenarios. Magus, the humanoid AI companion, plays an integral role by providing situational analysis, tactical feedback, and unique abilities to aid in challenging situations. The interplay between the Drifter, their mecha, and Magus creates a dynamic and strategic combat experience.

SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada Review

A Good Shooter With Balancing Issues

Game8 rated SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada a 70/100, commending its customizable Magus and mechs, dynamic environments, and well-designed combat mechanics. However, they pointed out issues such as overbearing Magus dialogue, the absence of safe zones, and limited story engagement. PCGamer gave the game a 58/100, describing it as a "misguided, hollow franken-game" despite some smart ideas. On Metacritic, it holds a score of 71/100, with critics praising its enchanting gameplay loop but noting it feels incomplete. Player reception on Steam is currently 6/10, with users acknowledging the game’s potential while criticizing issues like balancing problems.
