SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada, the mecha-based PvPvE extraction shooter from Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., is available beginning today for consoles and PC. In the game, players take on the role of Drifters, pilots of nimble mecha called CRADLECOFFINS exploring and battling through the ruins of Amasia, a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by poisonous rain. They must rely on their AI companions, called Magus, to help them wage combat in an environment plagued by twisted mutant creatures and other players with unpredictable loyalties to retrieve valuable resources for their own survival.

SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is now available via Early Access to those players who pre-ordered the Deluxe or Ultimate editions of the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with PC via Steam. The game will launch in all editions on January 23. Find out more about the game and Early Access on the official website.




Get ready to take on the challenges of the ruins by watching the game's opening cinematic here:


Once hailed as the last great bastion of humanity, the great city of Amasia fell seemingly overnight, but no one seems to know why. See what unique challenges await in special missions in the Solo Mission Story Trailer here:


SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called "The Tears of the New Moon" wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the remaining population. In this PvPvE extraction shooter, players will step in the shoes of Drifters, daring mech pilots who make a living collecting AO crystals, a rare resource. They pilot highly customizable CRADLECOFFINS mechs as their Magus AI partner helps them in battle, providing unique combat abilities, directions, hints, and warnings to help them safely navigate the ruins to survive and keep the rewards they collect.

In the game, learning to successfully fight the roaming challenges of Amasia is almost as important as knowing which player Drifter you can trust and who would gladly scrap any mech in their path to strip it of its valuable cargo. The delicate balance of risk and reward in SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada will separate the successful Drifters from the rest. They can rise through the ranks and complete missions to earn credits and resources. They can use scavenged items to upgrade the underground bunker that Drifters and their Magus companions call home. But players must be wary, every venture into the Ruins risks all the CRADLECOFFIN parts, weapons, and precious loot that gets brought.

I dont really recommend the game after being in two tests.
The story is standard confusing anime fare, the PvE/PvP/PvEvP stuff is boring and/or dumb, and movement just felt bad.

Looked at the trailers I understand they tried to mimic ZOE2.
But I am sry, The original ZOE2 is like 14/10, and you are just 7, or maybe 6, if my personal taste in mech design put into account.
