Leave a Review Lost Echo
Thank you to the devs for the AWESOME update!
These devs work HARD and it shows in the updated game with gorgeous graphics to show off the nice hardware on new Apple devices. They added a ridiculous amount of new graphical options, which easily makes this one of the better looking games on iOS. And it works great on both my iPad Pro 10.5 to my itouch 6.
I haven’t played in awhile as I was waiting for this update, but it seems they also made some slight changes to the story, puzzles, dialogue, etc. to make it even better. There’s lots of added improvements to play to make it easier for the player too.
And this was a free update: this is what you call some hard working devs who deserve your respect, and if you like adventure, sci-fi games then you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. These devs won’t abandon their game after initial release and that’s to be commended.
They are also currently hard at work at adding the second chapter. So MORE content to come. Support devs like these.Show lessDubs1
don’t bother
the company seemed to sink all their budget into artwork, none into story or user experience. it’s clear after five minutes of playing what your objective is, but you still have to spend thirty minutes going through the motions of letting your dumb character figure it out. in general on all puzzles, if you can’t guess exactly what the designers want you to look at when and in what order then you can’t make progress, even if the answer to a puzzle is clear, because the right dialog paths won’t be unlocked for you. the hardest part of this game is repetitively clicking through endless pages of monotonous dialog and monolog from characters you feel no love for at all. the graphics are pretty, but the game is shallow and not really pleasant to play. i uninstalled after an hour and wish i could get my money back.Show lessWyvernTiger
Really grew on me! But…
Quite enjoyable, unique storyline, though I’m not sure I could have finished it without referring to a walkthrough for a hint as to what to do next. (The hint gesture only lights up areas where you can take action, which is helpful at times, but not when needing a nudge for what to do next, or where to go.) As a tech writer, the mistypes (“costumer” instead of “customer”) and occasional poor English usage bothered me. For future games, the devs might want to get a copy editor to review the English text strings... will make translation easier too. I also felt a little mislead by the app icon and most of the videos I saw in the App Store; I thought Chloe was the protagonist and that I’d be playing as her. If you’re on the fence, though, go for it. It’s fun.Show less_sandra_g_
Greatest Game Ever!
I am always looking for a good adventure game that is worth the money that I pay for it. This game brings a lot to the table. It is probably MY FAVORITE ADVENTURE GAME that I have. I love mysterious games like this, so I really enjoyed playing it. I really think that you should buy this game. IT'S WORTH THE MONEY! The story is amazing, the graphics are amazing, and in the end, you won't believe what happened! There is something that is so enchanting about this game that makes you never want to put it down! I cannot stress enough how great this game is. Just saying, if you don't like the video preview, still buy it. There is no way that he preview can show how amazing this game is. The ending of this game made me shocked, almost as much as the end of The Sixth Sense! It leaves you with a heaviness in your heart from all the twists and turns. Great game, great story, great everything! I want to thank KickBack for creating such an immersive and incredible game. They are busy at work with the sequel, so I don't think they will be reading this. But if they are, they need to know that there will never be a game like this out there. Also, if they put up the sequel for money, I would still buy it! So, I really think everyone should buy this game!Show lessStormfall: Rise of Balur
Amazing game
This is one of my all-time favourite iPhone games. Its beautiful graphics make it fun throughout, but the things that stand out the most are the characters and the story. The character's interesting pasts and their personalities work together beautifully with the storyline. In many games like this one, the game is fun to play but the story is boring and doesn't seem to play out like it would in real life. With Lost Echo, the twists and turns throughout the game keep it interesting and entertaining. I was hesitant at first about buying this game, but once I got it I didn't want to put it down. Lost Echo is a great game for a great price, and I recommend it to anyone.Show less🌲🎍🌪
Spectacular Video Scenes
I have never before played a game quite like this one. When starting off, it seemed like an average game, average life, and I thought what is so special about this? Then Boom. First main video scene in slow motion just left me in awe, and through the course of the game were many other stunning scenes that showed the genius creativity of the people who designed this game. It has twists in the story that made me go oh wow, did not expect that! The dialogue made me feel like it was my normal life with normal conversational moments, while at the same time having this huge, secretive adventure. Not sure if I would rate this 12+ with some of the content, and I wish it lasted a lot longer. Cannot wait for the sequel!Show lessCarpHarp 4Love
Great story, drop the sexist jokes
I enjoyed the story line of this game, and the backgrounds were very pretty. The appearance of the characters themselves and their very unnatural movements left something to be desired. Perhaps what annoyed me most in this game is that is the, well, more or less teenage boy-esque jokes. Penis jokes, porn jokes, talking about women being hot or not (in other words, like objects) left a very sour taste in my mouth. As a female gamer, I do not appreciate this. I have rarely encountered it in adventure games I've played, and find it both disheartening and off putting- although I do not think the creators of this game intended it to be sexist (and alienating) in that way, I hope they change this in future updates to be more inclusive.Show lessRavioli123
Loved the game so much
The game was so addictive it made me play it all the way through (which is pretty long) without stopping. The game is so fun with a twist ending that makes your jaw drop to the floor. It has no secret prices or locked content. The puzzles aren't little baby riddles or connect the dots they are elaborate puzzles that take quite a bit of time to solve (unless you choose non-experienced gamer mode) so anyone deciding whether or not to play it you definitely should.Show lessSuper dooper fun
Awesome...
This is a dystopian, sci-fi story that's adventure combined with some interesting tests every once in a while...I'm guessing it's five hours of play for a slower guy like me that likes to understand the story...strengths are the intrigue and the story within a story within a story like the movie inception. I thought the tests were challenging. There's hints you can get by dragging down the middle of the screen and clinking hints. To do something click on your inventory click the item and touch the thing you want the item to interact with. There's like three endings as well, that definitely messes with your mind! As well as sci-fi Interstellar type philosophical conundrums. Whew...quite a wild ride for a few dollars!Show lessPatriotsfan45
Meh
It's highly intricate, but the story never gets resolved, there are many problems with touch controls, and there's no reason to wear your headphones because sound plays no significant role in gameplay. The English subtitles were clearly not written by a native speaker. That doesn't bother me personally, but if you're going to engage with any actual language in an app/game, you should be embarrassed if your use of that language isn't spot on. Judging from the credits, no one took responsibility for the English, so there's the problem. Leaves me curious about what the story would be like in the other languages offered.
The "mini games" were interesting ideas that didn't really translate into games. The set up tended to not make much sense, so the first question I had more often than not was "what am I supposed to be doing?" Even a simple reminder of the game's point and how it works would be helpful.
I love a point-and-click adventure, having been playing them since the early 90's, but I'm left feeling like this one was not worth the effort.Show lessKrystal Pickles
