SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada Reviews
SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada is a refreshing take on the extraction shooter genre. Utilizing its lore-rich gameworld and anime aesthetic, the game delivers on many of the key elements which make a great PvPvE experience. Gameplay and progression are satisfying while each run carries with it the edge of a potentially fatal encounter. While the game looks good and is fun to play, there are certainly glaring flaws when it comes to the in-game microtransactions and paid items being lost or stolen. Overall, SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada is a great game which I'd recommend to anyone who is a fan of extraction shooters and the anime aesthetic.
SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada has some neat ideas that separate it from other extraction shooters on the market, but it can't fully shake off its repetitive nature and half-baked concepts. The fun loop of exploring a dangerous world, gathering resources and trying to survive the numerous threats trying to take you down goes a long way initially but eventually loses steam as monotonous grindy objectives rear their ugly head on maps without much variety. For now, SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada doesn't quite live up to its ambitions; but with its decent foundations and a bit of time to add, improve and tweak its interesting universe, it could grow into something special down the track.
A game that is unacceptable due to its structure, filled with all the wrong choices.

Bandai Namco takes advantage of one of its latest anime, Synduality: Noir. to create Synduality: Echo of Ada. A game that invites us to shoot monsters, enemies and other players while we travel on the back of our own mecha. The customization and preparation of each raid become an important part of the proposal while we get resources, fight and get money to improve our subway headquarters. With touches of roguelike and a lot of desire to keep us glued to the control as long as possible, the lack of content and automation make that in the end we are left wanting more.

Synduality has some smart ideas, but the end result is a misguided, hollow franken-game.
Synduality Echo of Ada is the ultimate extraction experience - sanding off rough edges and putting a shine on the most exciting elements of the genre. Bundled together with cool mechs, customizable characters, and tight combat just makes this sweet experience even sweeter.
Synduality: Echoes of Ada is an extraction shooter that, while really easy to get into, might be difficult to stick with considering its bland art style and simplistic gameplay that ends up not having enough depth.
SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is an interesting extraction shooter that can evoke a varied experience. The developers should speed up the progression, but if you are looking for a game that provides a pleasant sense of danger - this will be a really good option.

SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is one of the most unique and entertaining online games that I've ever played. At the same time, it can be an extremely frustrating experience if you don't play it carefully so be prepared to keep your eyes peeled during every mission. 🤖
Synduality: Echo of Ada is a game that I had every reason to hate, since I don't like the extraction shooter genre. However, with an enjoyable mecha gameplay combined with a wide range of parts and weapons for different uses, the game creates a good mix even for those who aren't fans of the style.

"Synduality: Echo of Ada" is primarily impressive due to its gameplay loop, which has a real pull. Every trip is incredibly exciting, because you can never be sure what exactly awaits you and what will particularly bother you. Is it the caustic rain? Are they AI opponents or will other drifters overwhelm you?

Synduality: Echo of Ada suffers from uninspired gameplay, sluggish combat and a tedious progression system that fails to deliver the mech-shooter experience promised by its early trailers. While the visuals and performance on PS5 are fine, the lack of any engaging mechanics and frustrating systems make it extremely hard to recommend.
I ultimately have to wonder – with these flaws, will the playerbase stay big enough to give enough time for developers to fix what’s wrong, and perhaps make SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada truly one of the greats? As with a lot of game-as-a-service titles: time will tell.
I like Synduality Echoes of Ada, but it's also frustrating and barren. Its gameplay systems are tight and polished, but is that enough for an extraction shooter? When new games drop so frequently, you need to stand out, which Synduality Echo of Ada does with its aesthetic but little else, and it needs to bring more to the table to stand out.
SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada suffers from significant flaws. Depth in its combat mechanics is lacking, and too much of it is reduced to simple strategies. Its variety in both weapons and powers feels uncreative. The overall experience is a mixed one, one that will, perhaps, reward its fan base but will not work in creating a standout title in its field.
Synduality: Echo of Ada is a ton of fun but ultimately struggles to capitalise on the addictive and satisfying gameplay loop it has with a subdued story.
SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is a third-person, mech-based PvPvE with looter and extraction shooter elements. It does have potential, but it's sadly held back by a live service format and its monetization elements. Although there's fun to be had online, the game makes it a hassle to actually play with others, and the combat and gameplay loop can become repetitive.
