Echoes of the Architects

Super smart game... it almost helped me getting smarter. It's a surprising gem. At first I didn't really know what to expect, then everything clicked, and I saw the full potential of it. I *HIGHLY* recommend this game.

非常一般游戏内容少，中期我一个套路打全关，解锁点不可退回，看似自由度高其实没什么意思

A rare case of innovation in the games. Fun to play while consulting with your favorite AI chat. Just give it enough of information about the game. Just voted EotA for Most Innovative Gameplay Award 2025.

So much customization. Such a cool concept! This is a must check out for RTS and tug of war fans.

24 hours in and I made number 8 on the ladder, but have to stay on my toes to keep it. Still learning things about this game, and I still see people doing things that I don't know how to do yet. This rabbit hole goes at least $10 deep.

Fantastic game that does what it sets out to do extremely well. If you like logic, strategy, programming, puzzle solving, or cerebral gameplay this is probably a great fit for you. The challenge comes in understanding how your units will engage with other units on the field and preloading their logic trees to act in the right order. You don't position them directly, instead relying on conditional logic to send them towards the front lines or keep them close to the base as defenders. To the developer's credit every time I think, "I should be able to do this" there is a way to get the unit to do it. They've provided a lot of depth and variety, well keeping it well balanced. The campaign will walk you through a couple dozen premade opponents, each adding another layer of logical complexity to encourage you to adapt your own stable of units. You then take these units into a skirmish in a limited squad of 5 unit types and a base in a standard RTS style. The opponents will force you to alter your approach nearly every time. Sometimes you can make a few tweaks and power through, while at other times you'll need to remake entire squads. You can keep about 20 unit blueprints on hand, which feels about right to handle what the game throws at you while having a few slots to always play around with. The game also provides access to ghost data from other players which lets you fight their bases in a PVE style approach. It's fun seeing the different builds and how players approached their squads. The game will let you keep playing against an opponent or move on whenever you want. The overall format of the systems has sense of "rock paper scissors" to it, meaning your kit may dominate one opponent and lose to another, which goes both ways. That adds a lot of variety while rewarding pre-battle strategies. You can see what your opponent's unit logic and options at any time which is helpful for figuring out how to set your own squad up. If you get the game you should know what it's trying to be, and what it isn't. The presentation is "clean" and bug in my experience, while having a look that plays better than screenshots. Easy recommendation for the right kind of player.

Its okay...after a while you realise the game has issues like having an ultra strong base that can snipe collectors (or even stack railguns into your base) and other kind of meta gaming. The game is enjoyable on campaign but many of the missions the AI logic was actually broken (some missions had unresponsive AI units) and was easy to get past of. Some maps are badly designed and have resources in the middle (second map, which is also smaller than the next maps) in range of rail gun attachment from bases. Also nothing prevents rushin, so sometimes you can meta rush with a giant hovercraft even before making collectors and end the game in less than a min.

Excellent jeu avec un potentiel énorme malgré une prise en main un peu délicate pour faire ses propres IA. Les possibilités sont quasi infinies, reste à voir si le contenu et le support peut s'adapter afin d'en profiter au maximum. (à équilibrer cela va être très chaud...)

Feels like a successor to gladiabots, with less programming but a lot more customization.

Made a huge tank with a saw for a barrel and a giant shield, then programmed it to ignore all enemies and just rush the enemy base. 12/10 would GROND again
