MechoEcho

Mech-O-Echo Is, simply put, an AMAZING game!!! If you were the kid who built every model in the pamphlet that was included in your Erector set, than this game is definately for you. Even if you're not naturally inclined toward tinkering there are hours of enjoyment to be had here. The game's strength is in it's simplicity. There are around 9 basic parts. They are unlocked over the first 8 or so levels and given a brief, but sufficient explanation. You use these parts to build a machine that is ,(hopefully) capable of getting from point A. (The start of the level.) To point B.... (you guessed it, the end of the level.) Actually they are not levels so much as they are ...hmmm, courses! ...Obstacle Courses...!!! All of the levels are well thought out, while the game is a solid challange, it's also very do-able. You've got to be creative though and able to think outside of the box. There's plenty to keep you occupied too!!! The Basic Game alone has 30 levels and then theres an additional expansion (included.) that I am wonderfully, blissfully, hoplessly stuck within. Yeah..., I beat the first 30 levels and felt like I was pretty good..... then the expansion stood up and bit*%sla…

I picked this up on sale and really enjoyed it. Like playing with legos, but with programmable parts to complete a task on most levels. I'd never played anything like this, and had a little bit of trouble understanding some of the early construction puzzles and how the pieces could work together, but once I understood what was happening I was able to build interestingly functional devices. There's a lot of freedom in what you can build. I don't know if the later puzzles were easier, but it seemed like it all started making sense to me around half-way through. so I guess that's to say: don't get frustrated too much early on because it might all "click" if something's not making sense. Steam says I got 12.9 hours in my playthrough. I'm a casual gamer, did not use any guides or walkthroughs, and was completely unfamiliar with this type of game - so if you're like me that might be what you can expect from the 30 main levels of the game. I have not tried the sandbox or the challenge levels though. I looked at one of the challenge levels and it looked very tough. Overall, I thought the game was both creatively engaging and fun.

Originality and quality make this Indi a must have! try and see =)

No time for a review so I give this game a rank B. Good game - if you have time give it a chance! See my profile for more details about my reviews.

6/10

Great puzzle game but it is difficult and I would only recommend it if your looking for a challenge.
