Somber Echoes Blends Greco-Roman Myth with Sci-Fi Horror

The haunting fusion of ancient myth and futuristic decay has arrived on console. Somber Echoes, the critically acclaimed action-adventure metroidvania, is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox for $19.99 — currently discounted 20% off its regular price. After earning a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, the game now expands its reach with console-optimized enhancements and brand-new content.

Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Somber Echoes plunges players into a decaying starship where Greco-Roman myth meets rogue-like gameplay. You’ll step into the boots of Adrestia, a fallen tribune resurrected by an unknown force and given one last shot to stop her sister, Harmonia, from unraveling the fabric of the universe.

A Mythic Metroidvania with a Cosmic Twist

Set aboard the Atromitos — a sprawling, derelict vessel inspired by Roman architecture and powered by forgotten gods — Somber Echoes mixes fast-paced, acrobatic combat with deep exploration and decision-making that impacts the game’s multiple endings.

Key Features:

• Console-Optimized Metroidvania: Responsive, side-scrolling action designed with console players in mind. Traverse seven sprawling districts filled with secrets, enemies, and echoes of the past.

• Myth Reimagined in Deep Space: Greek and Roman mythological themes are reinterpreted in a cosmic setting filled with extra-dimensional threats and spiritual decay.

• Godlike Combat: Unleash powerful abilities tied to divine forces and fluid movement systems that reward timing and momentum.

• Multiple Endings: Your choices matter. Exploration and discovery unlock new paths, with branching storylines that determine the final fate of the Atromitos.

• Challenge Mode (New): Take on intense combat and puzzle trials outside the main story. Test your skills in boss rushes and skill-based gauntlets, with more content coming in future updates.

Whether you’re a fan of Dead Cells, Blasphemous, or Axiom Verge, Somber Echoes carves out a unique space with its high-concept worldbuilding, dark atmosphere, and a rich lore pulled from classical mythology and cosmic horror alike.

Somber Echoes is available now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox, with a limited-time launch discount. Dive into a world where gods are data, fate is rewritten, and death is only the beginning.
