Well. Echoes - Operation Stranglehold is a new game on AG.
I think it came out yesterday or two days ago.

What do you gamers think of it? Good, bad? Why?

I think it was awesome. Actually. The only downside was the controls. But you can customize them. So thats great, and I just love the cut scenes. I just completed the campaign and going an to the survival mode. I'm writing a full review on the game comments.

I really enjoyed it, but the starting cutscenes were far too long in my opinion

I also saw alot of Stargate influence on it, just the story of it lol
The Asgard initiative on the Mars colony or something? Asgard was an alien race on Stargate
Ascension like how they done so with the hybrids was kind of like the Ori, where they'd promise believers ascension if they believe in them etc.
And godhood, definately Goa'uld lol That's pretty much it.

Sadly the strategic part wasn't that good for me, I'd prefer resources came from capturing those points, and you only had a barracks / vehicle depot with the defending turrets. That's all I'd prefer, oh and the supply warehouses

Another thing which was painful was the defencive capabilities you could do in strategy, it was a pain mustering your soldiers, but it takes some more skill, which I like

Overall, great game, great story, lovely models and engaging gameplay, can't wait for Act 2

good game but i cant really see much of the startegy as the hybrid units will always be more powerful than your units in survival unless you get the upgrades

@Highfire

Yeah, I've seen Stargate. And the story plot is close.

Good, I haven't seen much of the Ori, I've only seen Seasons 1 - 8 and some Season 9, but they do seem quite good and fairly different.

Story Plot isn't incredibly close, as I'd say in terms of Stargate we are the Tok'Ra on this game , no humans and no Asgard equivilents yet however

@Highfire

Yeah, I get what you mean. What Stargate do you mean by season 1-8?
SG-1, Atlantis, Universe?

i feel it looks really amazing... im getting the white screen after the first mission however Ido said that it is a problem with the server and not the game itself so hopefully it will be fixed shortly... when Ido made portal the flash version i fell in love and it is one of my all time favorite games... when echoes came out i drooled and waited to play it when i had at least 4 hours to play... and from what i have seen it can esily be one of if not the best games i have played on any flash site... sad its rating is under a 9

Really nice game! Excellent graphics, clever plot, cool characters, what do you want more!
Only thing that confused me is, that i just got the 2 weapons you have from the start, during the campaign! Is that normal? Or do you get the other ones in survival mode?

Ah cool, I think I should try survival mode now then..

Another question, if I get them in survival mode can I get them still in campaign mode?
