There Came an Echo

About

There Came an Echo lets you shout orders at your squad like a tactical movie director. Guide Corrin Webb and his team through real-time missions using voice commands that range from military sharp to full-on chaotic. Tell units to advance, flank, or "do the worm over to Buttface 3", the game actually recognizes custom phrases. You control the action as Corrin, a cryptographer dragged into a conspiracy involving energy weapons and reality-warping secrets. The combat blends quick reflexes with positioning, forcing you to adapt as enemies deploy shields and heavy firepower. The game stands out for its quirky charm and stellar voice work. Wil Wheaton and Ashly Burch anchor a cast that includes industry vets like Laura Bailey and Yuri Lowenthal, adding weight to the sci-fi thriller plot. While it didn’t dominate charts, fans praise its fresh take on RTS mechanics and the freedom to bark creative commands. Some find the learning curve steep, but the mix of strategy and narrative keeps missions engaging. A niche pick for players who want to combine vocal theatrics with tactical thinking.
