If you’re into Metroidvania with deep lore, tight combat, and cosmic horror vibes, Sombe Echoes is making its way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox this summer. Originally a hit on Steam with ‘very positive’ reviews, this otherworldly action-adventure from Rock Pocket Games and Lav Games drops on consoles July 8.
Gods, Space, and Sibling Rivalry
In Somber Echoes, you play as Adrestia, blessed by the gods and back from the bring, as she hunts her twisted twin sister through the rotting corridors of a massive spaceship. This is Greco-Roman mythology like you’ve never seen it: all wrapped in space dread, ancient sins, and divine wrath.
Armed with supernatural powers, you’ll explore seven eerie districts packed with puzzles, intense combat, and secrets that shape the story’s ending. The more you uncover, the more control you’ll have over the date of the ship… and everyone on it.
Challenges Mode: Something New for Consoles Players
The console version includes a brand-new Challenges Mode. You’ll unlock skill-based challenges after taking down bosses or key events – perfect if you’ve already seen the credits roll and want more reason to dive back in. Expect combat gauntlets, puzzle trials, and more updates to come.
Key Features:
- Side-scrolling action in a twisted sci-fi world
- Myth meets machine: a blend of Greco-Woman lore and UNreal Engine 5
- Choices that impact the ending
- Bonus Challenges Mode packed with tough trials beyond the story
Somber Echoes is out now on Steam and launches for PlayStation 5 and Xbox on July 8. If you’ve got a thing for haunting worlds and hardcore platforming, this one’s worth a look.
