tldr: quick simple 3 player among us, where the subterfuge decides how hard the 2v1 boss battle is

It's... not particularly a good game and I can't see it staying alive for very long, but it is a novel concept, at least. 3 players fight some monsters with full friendly fire enabled and one is a traitor that has extra shadow abilities that can't be traced back to them, though you see who's targetted. After the fight, everyone guesses who the traitor is, and a correct guess gives back two lives while an incorrect guess gives back only one. Then there's a 2v1 boss fight against the traitor player who's buffed up to full power. The other two players will have between one and three lives (+1 for surviving the first fight, +1 for guessing wrong, +2 for guessing right). Every player has a global cooldown after each skill use (round 1 traitor skills are a separate timer) and can still cast while dead, albeit at a doubled cooldown.

I'm not sure how players playing properly would ever end up with less than two lives each going into the second round, though. Nuking someone out of existence costs so much traitor skill cooldown time that others can likely guess who you are (if not both, then at least one of them- there's only 3 people and they know what role they are), but nuking yourself will probably lead to them living through round one. Especially observant and opportunistic traitors can probably force it down a bit, but it's simple so far.

The rounds are very short, at least, and there's no actual communication, so you can absolutely just pick up and go. Still, don't spend money on it lmao. They bait you with a battlepass that immediately gives you Lyn like 20 minutes in, and Dmitri is also in the game. Rest are originals

Why did they name it after a main game?

the jp name for fire emblem echoes: shadows of valentia never actually mentions shadows (it's , "another hero king"), so it was probably not considered when naming this new one

also who played echoes lmao (I will eventually.....)

I would have if they fucking hadn't removed the remake from the store.

Is it a paid game or filled with microtransactions like every mobile game these days? I'd rather pay one price like they did with mario run.

tons of microtransactions

one pops up right as you finish the prologue tutorial and gets into the main game
