This is it. The final battle against Paavo. The fate of the world rest on the hands of Nevin alone, and the outcome of this duel between him and the mad scientist will make the choice of what will happen.

You really think the fight against Paavo would be easy? He’s obviously the freakin’ final boss and the main villain of the game, so of course he’s gonna have multiple phases that you need to try hard on. The first phase is a dumb rhythm minigame where you’re gonna have to block the attacks from Paavo’s pod with the right forms so you won’t get hurt. Just hold down the block button at all times while you are doing it. The colors give you a hint on what form you should use to defend yourself with. Purple is your human/sword form, blue is gun form, and red is stealth form. As soon as Paavo stops and closes up his pod blasters, you’re gonna have to use your infinite dilation attack to damage him. Careful not to screw up, or else you’re gonna have to start the defending process again. As his pod’s health gets lower, he will start having his pod switch and attack faster, so you better get those reflexes of switching forms ready once it happens. The next phase is just like your previous bouts against Paavo. If you haven’t forgotten the strategies that are needed to do to beat him previously, then you’ll be fine. The final and last phase is where things can get your urge to smash your controller apart up to maximum. You’re playing volleyball against Paavo with an energy ball of doom. You press the button as soon as the ball is ready to hit you. Right after every successful push backs, the ball goes faster and faster and if you get hit, not only you’ll take damage, but the speed of the ball resets. Oh, and there are no health pickups and healing nodes, so you’re gonna have to manage not to lose too much health. If you finally manage to beat Paavo, it’s time to finish him off for good. Put in that last dilation input and watch Nevin slice the bastard apart with over a hundred slashes and stabs. The game has finally been beaten. Nevin has saved the world and freed Echo from his oppressive creator. The reward you get is an ending that has so many hooks to a sequel that is extremely unlikely to happen.

Now, evaluation time! This hidden gem of an action game can bring you on a nice ride. It brings the player a lot of tools on how to deal with certain situations by having you use three forms that you’re free to change at any time. The combat is pretty fun and rewarding as you can get as much points as you can by putting in many hits and kills. If you want to cheap shot your enemies, there’s the time dilation technique where you’ll have to time directional button inputs until all enemies health are gone or reach to the right spot. If timing is never your problem, you’re gonna have a thrill using such ability as well as activating certain switches that makes you go through the same thing. Most of the boss fights are decent at best. Once you learn all of their very predicting patterns, then you won’t have much trouble (Although, I can’t say the same for the Gherran, Venus Flytrap of Doom, and the last boss fight against Paavo and that stupid pod of his). Now if the game have a difficulty selection and let you keep all of the upgrades upon starting a new game via an option, then it would have more replay value. Would I recommend this game? For action game lovers and hunters of hidden gems, yes. The game lacking replay value might keep some away, though. This concludes my Alter Echo playthrough and I hope you all enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and stay tuned.
