About Echocalypse
Echocalypse being an Evolved Kimono Girls Godslaying RPG might sound confusing for newcomers, so let us give you a little insight into the game.
The Premise:
Many ancient prophecies about disasters have come true in a post-apocalyptic world. Humanities were forced to hide in shelters; humans tried to reclaim the outside world once the disasters had passed. However, something called the “Echo Crystal”; tiny particles in the air had corroded the breathable air. These “Echo Crystals” created white dust that would harden human bodies and kill them from the inside out.
Only a handful of humans, who fused with an animal during the hardening process, could survive the corroding process. These exceptions were called Cases, the only hope for mankind. In the post-apocalyptic world, 4 factions control most of the areas and possess the powers of the Cases.
Factions:
The Kimono Girls or Monster Girls, are divided into 4 factions:

What to Expect?
Echocalypse was released in Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines as a soft launch/early access. The game received mixed responses from the playerbase; despite having a really good soundtrack, beautiful character designs, and animations, the gameplay had many issues.
Usually, mobile gacha/RPG games tend to have a lot of grinding required and thus come with an autoplay feature. Speeding up the entire grinding process using x2 is extremely helpful, as the game gets repetitive and boring otherwise. Unfortunately, Echocalypse failed to offer some of these basic features to its player base, causing them to have to sit through all of it. To top it all off, many QoL changes are level-gated, making the experience slightly annoying.
On the positive side, Echocalypse has incredible SSR pull rates for their gachas. Standing at 3% is pretty decent, along with a guaranteed SSR on your 51st pull. So this offer is quite appealing for Gacha addicts, along with other ways to get SSR Kemono Girls.
Hopefully, in the global release, the developers will decide to take the criticism they received from their early release and patch some of the issues with the gameplay.
Echocalypse is available on Google Play and the App Store, so go ahead and pre-register to claim your rewards now! For further information, check out their website, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
