The story in Mechoecho is generally considered engaging and intriguing, providing a unique narrative element that enhances the puzzle gameplay. While some players find the plot predictable or unnecessary, many appreciate the depth it adds, especially with recent updates that expand the storyline. However, there are critiques regarding the campaign's brevity and the potential for a more competitive edge through features like leaderboards.
“A fun enough game, with a fairly predictable but otherwise engaging plot and some rather satisfying callbacks towards the end.”
“Intriguing storyline and user-friendly mechanics.”
“Enjoyable storyline (not a thing that many puzzle games have).”
“In fact, the whole running thing with picking up the story pieces feels somewhat out of place since it's just a puzzle game with robots.”
“The story could just be told in briefings before/after puzzles or whatever.”
“My one criticism in this title is that it seems that the 'campaign' might be a bit short at only 30 missions.”
