Alter Echo

Alter Echo is a third-person action game set in the 29th century. Construction across the known world relies on Multiplast, a substance that can be shaped into almost anything, but the planet Proteus—the only known source—has fallen into danger.

Players control Nevio, a worker who investigates the crisis and confronts the megalomaniac shape-shifter Paavo. A special suit gives Nevio three forms that can be changed instantly during combat:

• Sword form: Focused on close-quarters combat and combo attacks.
• Cannon form: A large robot suited to gunplay.
• Stealth form: A futuristic lizard equipped with a long tongue.

Switching between forms and combining their abilities earns plasma points, which can be used to improve Nevio’s life energy, moves, and weapons.
