How it plays

SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada is an extraction shooter in which you face both computer-controlled enemies and other players (PvPvE). It is set in 2222, after a poisonous rain wiped out most of humanity, created monstrous creatures called Enders and drove the survivors underground.

You play a Drifter who heads up to the surface to collect AO Crystals and other resources. You ride a CRADLECOFFIN, a two-legged mecha, and work with your Magus, a humanoid AI partner that helps with exploring, scavenging and combat, gives feedback based on your previous sorties and can use special abilities when you are in trouble. On the surface you have to deal with Enders, toxic rain and other players, and one false move can lose you both your mecha and the supplies you were carrying.

Back underground, you craft new parts with what you collect and upgrade your garage. Bandai Namco plans to make the game offline-only after May 2027.
