Race Against Time (and Others) in “Echobreaker”

The blasts of rockets. The creaking of robotic parts. A sleek cyberpunk aesthetic mixed with adrenaline-pumping speed. We’ve previously covered this title, so we’re happy to say that on August 6, Upstream Arcade and Weekend Games launched Echobreaker on PC via Steam.

In this speed-based precision platformer, the player is tasked with shaving off seconds to reach the end goal in time:

“Set in the year 2097, Echobreaker places players behind the controls of an experimental armoured rig powered by the volatile Temporal Echo Drive. Recruited by TDS Industries to evaluate the prototype, players must survive live-fire testing courses designed to push both pilot and machine to their absolute limits. Success demands precision, calculated risk, and relentless pursuit of the perfect run.”

The levels in Echobreaker are all handcrafted to test precision and speed, with mastery over both rewarded with new routes and shortcuts. Constant improvement is the name of the game, especially when your score is tracked and ranked. Key features of the game include:

  • Pilot an experimental time-bending combat rig in a lightning-fast precision speedrunner.
  • Master handcrafted levels built around speed, precision, and high-risk decision making.
  • Manipulate time using the Echo State to slow enemies, chain kills, and generate explosive momentum.
  • Discover hidden shortcuts and risky alternate routes that reward skilled play.
  • Compete on global leaderboards with ranked time trials.
  • Race against your own ghost runs to perfect every movement.
  • Instantly restart levels to maintain momentum and improve your times.
  • Unlock additional challenge modes that remix levels and test your reactions.

Watch the whole release trailer below. Echobreaker is now available on Steam for $8.99 USD with a 15% discount.
