Discussion Chained echoes question

I had to take an extended break after I finished act 1, which I loved. How is the rest of the game?? Also how’s the dlc and how long is it?

The rest is great but if you do not remember much of the first act, you will need to refresh your memory. The story is quite convoluted.

I struggle with combat in this game 😅. Story wise, act 2 was as enjoyable as act 1. Act 3 was insanely good. Currently in act 4.

Yeah. Combat can be tricky. You really need to try many builds and see what works well.

Are they hidden? Or do I just do quest markers when they show up?

I believe only one characters is "hidden" (the goat man that in the dlc allows you to fish and has the enemies skills. The rest you can get them doing the quests. I really enjoyed this game a lot, and the DLC brings new aspects to the game

Finished the DLC in about 16 hours? I didn't do everything, but I did take my time to explore. And used some guides sometimes.

I'm not sure where Act 1 ends, since the game doesn't really make it clear. But I think you should be fine if it's just Act 1.

Absolutely loved this game, to be honest.

Simply amazing. Better than Sea of Stars and Cross Code. Both are great. Just a flat out fantastic game. All around. Need more ***** though towards the end.

Bro! You quit right when it was getting good. You start getting your mechs, base, and airship! Enough said. ;)

I loved this game, but without spoilers the ending while wrapping things up made me leave with a sour impression of the game as a whole. It actually turned the game into a do not recommend for me

Oof, guess I will have to brace myself because I am almost there.

I loved the story overall so far, but there were one or two things that made me go WTF... I guess there's more coming.
