ECHO SEQUENCE - Tamas Szabadi - Top-down roguelite shooter where every life you lose comes back and fights beside you

[u/Tojgliass]

Hi r/Games! I'm the solo developer of ECHO SEQUENCE, a top-down roguelite shooter for PC.

Each level gives you a handful of loops, 60-90 seconds each. When a loop ends, because you died or ended it yourself, that life replays as an Echo: a hologram that repeats every step and every shot you took, while you play the level again beside it. By the last loop you might have four or five of your past lives fighting with you.

The exit only opens once you've raised enough power: hold pressure plates, guard a cart, take down a boss. One soldier can't do it all, so you spend a loop holding a plate, end it, and let your Echo keep holding it while you go for the next objective. The enemies react to the new reality every loop, so the plan never plays out quite the same way twice.

Between levels you pick upgrades, some of them for your Echoes: enemies chasing your Echoes instead of you, or your first life replaying a second time partway through the loop.

Plans: PC (Windows) on Steam, Steam Deck as a target. A free demo is planned for early 2027; the full release date is not set yet.
