  • Beautiful and unique vintage graphic style with great art and sound direction.
  • Fun and strategic turn-based combat system with interesting combo setups and skill trees.
  • Engaging sci-fi story with diverse characters and a heartfelt, family-friendly vibe.
  • The game is relatively short, with disjointed chapters and a narrative that lacks depth and cohesion.
  • Some players find the atmosphere and writing less compelling compared to the first game.
  • Certain gameplay aspects, like boss fights and minigames, can feel tedious or frustrating, with limited replayability and insufficient explanations in the story.

  • story

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The story in this game receives mixed feedback, with praise for its heartfelt, family-friendly, and sci-fi elements, but criticism for feeling short, disjointed, and lacking cohesion compared to the first installment. While the episodic structure attempts to blend multiple character narratives, it often results in a hollow and fragmented experience that diminishes the final impact. Overall, the story is enjoyable but less expansive and immersive than its predecessor.

    • “The first game felt like a complete story with a perfectly digestible theme of nostalgia which made it feel much longer and more expansive.”
    • “My daughter and I played it through together; we loved the story. It was silly and heartfelt, definitely family friendly, and we loved the sci-fi elements. Hope to see more of this.”
    • “Great story, certainly worth giving it a try if you like story, sci-fi, and card games.”
    • “The game lacks a cohesive plot and should have more chapters that better explain the story and give you an opportunity to form a stronger in-world team.”
    • “However, it is very short, the story is very disjointed, and I think it's a step back from Echo Generation.”
    • “It is done episodically and feels like they didn't include a huge chunk of the story towards the end.”

  • gameplay

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    63% positive mentions, 12% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its fun, strategic battle mechanics with unique combo setups and an engaging brake system that enhances damage and status effects. While some miss the exploration from the first game and find certain boss mechanics frustrating, overall the gameplay is considered enjoyable and well-designed.

    • “I like the break system in this game where you hit enemies with specific attack types enough times to break them, allowing you to do more damage and apply more status effects, enabling varied gameplay styles.”
    • “Pros: fun battle mechanics with interesting combo setups, and great art and sound direction.”
    • “The game looks beautiful, the dialogue is fun and sassy, the characters are likable, and the gameplay feels almost as good as the first game.”
    • “Also, you have to scavenger hunt pixels in the black and white section and it has an instant game over if spotted mechanic in the same area.”
    • “I was hoping for a longer experience (having multiple segments still made it feel short even if it took me a few more hours than the 1st game), I do miss the whole exploration of the 1st one but gameplay this clicks for me better.”

  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 29% negative mentions

    The graphics are praised for their unique vintage and block-style art, delivering a visually appealing and innovative look. While some initially found the style unusual, overall it is considered gorgeous and a significant improvement from previous entries. However, a desire for more graphic settings was expressed.

    • “Probably one of the most innovative games I have played in a long time, great vintage graphic style feel.”
    • “Game looks gorgeous just like any other game from cococucumber but I would like to have more graphic settings in the game.”
    • “Echo Generation 2 is a leap improvement with their unique block visual art style, featuring multiple characters playing their unique character decks.”
    • “I would like to have more graphic settings in the game.”
    • “First I thought its graphical style is ugly.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's music is consistently praised as good and well-fitting, enhancing the overall experience despite the game's relatively short length.

    • “This game was a blast with good music and combat, just a little bit short though.”
    • “Music is still good and fitting.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Players find the grinding in the game tedious and unrewarding, as leveling up or acquiring new cards before a long boss chain is not possible. The overall progression feels slow and reliant on repetitive tasks, contributing to a frustrating experience.

    • “The worst part is that there is no way to get stronger by level grinding or buy any new cards before the chain of bosses.”
    • “Everything is tedious, grindy, or a gacha.”
    • “Prepare for migraines; some sections are in black and white, but you can adjust contrast or saturation, making it blinding and ugly.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is highlighted by amusing character interactions, especially the brief cooperation and fighting between the two main characters. However, some users feel it lacks the distinctive atmosphere and witty writing that made the first game particularly funny.

    • “You see many characters from the first game appear, which was a nice addition, and even have the two main characters fight with you for a short period of the game (hilarious how they are fighting).”
    • “Missing the atmosphere and really funny writing of the first game.”
