ECHOES OF WAR: The Last Heartbeat

Tepid recommendation, only because the game is inexpensive. Repetitive gameplay, awkward ui, slow pace to ramp up difficulty. As wave shooters go, this is above average. Once the game gets going with multiple turrets and frantic 360 degree attacks it's pretty exciting. There just isn't much variety or depth of gameplay or any story to speak of. Hopefully the DEVs will add content over time.

Worth a go, especially for the price.

Echoes of War is a wave shooter that adds a twist to the genre by mixing resource mangement and turret placement along with shooting and lightsaber defense. You find yourself crash landed on a planet full of hostile machines. You must spend your days defending yourself from the machine threat, and using the scrap from the fighting to upgrade your resources and repair your ship. PROS -Gunplay feels good, and you can even pick enemies off in the distance before they ever reach your base if you aim right. -Can deflect enemy shots using a lightsaber. -Resource management is intense. You will be strapped for scrap most of the early waves. -Turret placement is a fun challenge, have to balance between placing them to block shots on you, and placing them so they last long enough to help in a fight. -A surprising amount of upgrades for every turret and your own personal equipment. Ties into the resource management. -Six different kind of turrets to play with. -The game has a surpisingly nice atmosphere, you really feel isolated on a deadly planet. NEUTRAL -Graphics are fine, but there isn't much style to it. -Kind of ties into graphics, but enemy variety is small. While there are a lot…

A nice simple shooter game. It does sometimes glitch but for less than $10, it is not bad at all. Would be nice if they would add updates or create a new shooter like this.

Way too buggy. 75% of the time you finish a wave, it freezes. The game crashes repeatedly. meaning expect about 3 - 4 restarts per hour. Also, slow to 10fps for chunks of time on my 3090 10900k system.

As far as wave shooter go, this game is really fun.
