Freeze and Slash

User Rating: 7.5 | Alter Echo XBOX
By thewastedyouth | Review Date:
Alter Echo, is a hack and slash game. You control your character in the third-person view. Your character can transform into different creatures. There is the human form; where you fight with your sword and slash at enemies. There is the gun form; where you turn into a robot-like creature with a gun that shoots lasers and launches grenades. And there is a stealth form; it's like a lizard and you have the ability to crawl on certain surfaces and you can also turn invisable in stealth form.
There is a long tutorial that teaches you how to use each form. A cool power in this game is that you can freeze time, when you have enough energy orbs. While time is frozen, your enemies are unable to move, but you will be able to execute deadly combo attacks with whatever forms you have.

Pros:
+freeze time
+cool looking combo attacks
+good music
+good sound effects
+nice graphics
+three transformation modes

Cons:
-cheap shots from enemies
-gets difficult fast
-becomes repetative
-linear gameplay

overall an average game. Freezing time and doing
combo attacks are fun, but very difficult to pull off.
I was also very annoyed by the cheap shots from the
cpu enemies.

    This game is quite an oddity and one I was surprised to fall in love with. At it's core the game plays something like Robotech, except with even more options, many more options. Like Robotech there are 3 forms you can ta... Read Full Review
