Fun ride
Sad that this is the last month of the game, but I did enjoy it.
I kinda wish the stage progression wasn’t so aggressive with the power level recommendations, especially when the Gacha drops aren’t that cooperative. -__-;; Maybe that’s just me and my casual, poor-Gacha-luck self. Couldn’t figure out the mana spirit part of the unit ascension, unless I hadn’t reach that part, hmm.
Besides that, I loved the game and this is technically the second Mana game I’ve ever played, the first being Legend of Mana. Seeing the LoM characters animated in this style and given voices made me really happy. I really wish I can save the voices so I can listen to them, especially Elazul’s. It’s lower than what I imagined years back, but over time, I came to love his voice here.
Ah, anyway, here’s to hoping we see a new form of Echoes in the future. Until then, good luck!

Sad It’s Ending
I was hoping for a redemptive experience in regards to how game designers mode of operation. If this were ever a labor of love towards the virtues it wrote about in the story telling this game would have lasted longer than a year. I probably spent $30-60 USD which is about as much as a title game costs. I’m assuming some CEO got his lump sum from the fan faire of the initial sell. The game offered some edge of figuring out puzzles for some fights but I think they hit a wall when they never opened it up to a shared open world you could do more quests with friends with not just boss dungeons. Anyhow, that’s my take on it. I wish everyone a happy 2023 and beyond.

Coop pretty dead
I first got the game cuz of its high rating, but as I kept playing I couldn't help keep wondering how it even got rated high.. gameplay it self is clunky, u can cast skills that take forever to. Animate while watching a mob super armor through the hit and kill you during animation. Tower map is maneuverability is so small and mob hitboxes are big enough to block u from gathering all mobs up to aoe them down.. and yes u need to do this because floors are run on a timer.
Bravers arise is heavy on having dupes to rank high given ur opponents are equally capable skill wise as u.
menus take forever to navigate around because of loading times per anything u tap, also includes the million of screens u go through after a stage clear.
only pro for the game is the story is okay but its pretty much the typical childrens book type story.
also coop is dead, game wants u to run a ton of very hard difficulty events to grind out bingo bonuses but u can barely find a room or people to join urs. Made a coop a few times and was sitting there for a good 30mins and only ever had 1 person join.

Add controller support or I’m not playing
When I first downloaded this game I loved it I actually ended up spending close to 30$ but I recently bought a backbone and I grew up playing the mana games. And it is such a shame I can’t use a controller to play this. It literally feels like the old mama games and I can’t help but feel I would spend a lot more time playing this game and overall enjoy it better with controller support. Such a sad missed opportunity. The game literally feels like it’s meant to be played with a controller.
If they add controller support it’s 5 stars hands down
As is… 2 stars.

Ignore all the bad reviews, this is such a good game!
Great game! This game is my first gacha and I really like it! It’s really fun and there are a lot of characters and quests to get and complete. I just started a few days ago and I have so many characters! I imagine that after a while you have to pay to get a lot of crystals later on to pull in the harvest banners, but in the beginning, it gives you a lot of them. I have 18,000 and just started. And you can get them easily by playing. The co op I have to try too and the events are really cool, they bring new characters. Just get it its really fun and good

Combat is surprisingly in depth
With a variety if interesting features and mechanics combat is far more in depth than it first appears, however the game does still have a slightly weak AI and a fairly predatory gacha system (pity system is not player friendly). I have a fondness for the mana series that probably biases me, but this is well worth playing imo

Beautiful
I’ve always been a fan of the Mana series and this game has been a great addition. It’s not perfect all games have flaws, but I could play this till the content stops! Keep it coming SquareEnix!
MUST PLAAAYY
The pulls can be rough but they do give you lots of free tickets and free gems. You can easily play without having to pay a dime. Take your time and spend your time learning the game instead of focusing too much trying to pull rainbows. Some 3 stars are outstanding boss killer. Pleas learn the to play this awesome game!

Honestly a good time killer for last summer
Was bored and wanted to try something new. Stumbled upon this and I don’t regret much other than when I quit the game for a while. Still a fun game.
Too greedy wasted potential
This game could be great if devs werent so greedy… gems cost WAY too much roughly 20$ to do 1 10x pull on banners Cant refill energy without buying potions with real money You can literally only play 20 minutes then your out of stamina / energy Cant finish events they require you to be whale strong I hope the devs stop being greedy because they are ruining a good thing

Unplayable at Start
I loved this game, I used to play everyday and I enjoyed the story and the characters. I haven’t been able to play it as of late. Everytime I tap the screen to start the game, it never loads. It just goes straight into the opening sequence and starts all over again, I hope this can get fixed soon
Day 1
This game has come a long way. It’s nothing compared to when it 1st launched. I am so impressed with the changes and keeping us updated with what’s coming and listening to us. I would support the game more if monthly or weekly packs were to ever come to the game. Keep up the good work!
Infinite downloading
Fun enough and pretty enough when you’re actually playing, but my primary experience with Echoes has been the content download screen.
Be prepared to get slammed with constant massive updates as they continue to build what is obviously an unfinished game.

Opening Movie
Can the skip movie button during the opening movie take you directly into the game instead of back to the same “click to enter” title screen?
Good game but needs a but improving
This game is fun and I love it.
But needs some serious fixes.. Devs are continuing to improve and are listing which is a good sign
1- We need a section where we can see all the heroes and know what we have and what we don’t.
2- Skip feature.. this is debatable but I think if you have all stars on a mission we can skip the mission and farm it.
3- Loadouts .. the gear UI needs a whole change especially when switching gears it gets confusing especially when I accidentally chose another hero's gear , checking the power right away instead of leaving the gear UI.

Lost all progress
I wound up losing all my progress including a good amount of real money spent on this game due to having to switch phones suddenly and because I hadn’t carefully researched the data backup process beforehand or memorized several identifying aspects of my account (a 10+ digit number? My rank? My entire roster???) I was told by the support team there was nothing they could do to recover anything. Inviting a player to create a backup right away upon first logging in would have prevented this entire problem but nope. Now that Square-Enix has my money they couldn’t care less about me. Incredibly disappointing.

A shallow cash grab
I had high hopes for this game. The Mana series is highly beloved and I’ve been playing the series since my early childhood. This game is visually stunning and the action combat gives off those same vibes. However, this game is truly a buggy, technical nightmare. The UI is atrocious, the engine is highly unoptimized and the game lacks engaging content.
Instead you will just endlessly gear grind with no end in sight and repeat clear the same boss enemies in boring events. The gacha system is absolutely scummy and requires insane amounts of dupes to make banner units viable. Absolutely disappointed in this terrible disservice towards the Mana series. I hope one day WFS and SE get their act together and make this game worth playing.

Tutorial
Stop forcing the tutorial and let us play the game. Give me option to abandon fight you forced me into with a party you shoved down my throat. Let me reset level of unwanted characters you forced me to level. Stop forcing me to summon characters. Stop forcing me to equip and use candy. Stop forcing me to go to missions and bingo window. Stop forcing me to upgrade mana board. Give me back resources you forced me to spend in stupid mana board tutorial. Stop forcing me to equip gear.

Huge mana fan, but they botched this one
The good: Graphics, music, and story are excellent, and the devs have been making good improvements to the game.
The bad: The improvements greatly devalue any previously purchased in app purchases, and it's yet another square enix game with a ladder filled with cheaters.
The ugly: The core gameplay feels absolutely terrible especially for a mana game. I don't think there's anything they can do to save this without completely overhauling the game.

Unfortunately Expensive gacha
I was excited for this game, but unfortunately I realized that the game is set up for players to spend a lot of money to get duplicate characters to level the same character up… and the pity system is unusable. You have to accumulate 200 credits for a pity character all while there are 4 or 5 different character banners going on at the same time and the catch is the pity credits aren't universal! Seriously?!
They need to fix this or the game will fail very soon.
