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.
