About This Game

Gameplay

Echoes of the Architects is a real-time strategy game that rewards creativity, strategic depth, and adaptability. Victory lies in your ability to design and deploy customizable, programmable units to dominate the battlefield.

At its heart is a robust unit customization system, letting you build armies tailored to your playstyle. Combine modules like locomotion systems, weapons, and repair tools, and define your units’ roles—whether gathering resources, defending key points, or executing precision strikes to outflank enemies.

Battles are fast-paced and dynamic, demanding sharp strategic thinking and quick adaptation. With programmable units capable of executing complex maneuvers autonomously, you can focus on your tactics rather than high actions-per-minute gameplay.

As you advance, unlock new modules, unit classes, and tactical options, continuously evolving your forces. Explore diverse planets, each with unique environments and challenges, as you expand the fight across the galaxy.

In Echoes of the Architects, every decision matters. Success depends on how you configure your army, time your deployments, and outmaneuver your opponents in the relentless chaos of war.

Story

The galaxy was ours to conquer—or so we believed. In our unyielding quest for dominance, humanity delved too deeply into the void, awakening a force beyond comprehension: the Architects. Silent, enigmatic, and devastatingly efficient, they seized our greatest creations—turning humanity’s own advanced technologies into instruments of annihilation. Entire worlds fell in mere moments, their skies darkened by the machines we once called progress.

Now, you stand as one of the last sparks of resistance, seeking shelter on a scarred and broken Earth—a planet consumed by the wars and greed of its past. With only the remnants of human ingenuity at your disposal, you command the battlefield from a distance, deploying what’s left of our scattered forces. Every battle is a desperate gamble, a flicker of hope against the Architects’ impenetrable grip.

But there’s something more—whispers buried deep in the ruins of our shattered worlds. Clues that hint at the true nature of the Architects, their purpose, and why they were waiting for us to awaken them. Understanding them might be the key to victory—or a revelation too dangerous to confront.

This is our last chance to reclaim the galaxy, dismantle the Architects’ empire, and unearth the secrets of their origin. The final war begins, and humanity’s fate rests in your hands.

YES! I'm so glad I looked up this dev's previous game again (Gladiabots) I saw they made this game and I looked at it before I bought it and went YES! This game is my favorite genre. Programming games! You cant control things directly. you program them, and when something goes wrong you watch either your or the enemy bot go to some strange thing and you look at it wondering "Whaaaaaat did I tell you to do that ended up with you doing this?" And if it's yours then you can just mouse over it and on the side it lists it's current action and you read it and go "Oooooh I see, alright fix that in a moment!" This game is amazing and I'm so disappointed that people didnt investigate the game before buying and giving bad reviews. If you look at the bad reviews they boil down to "I didnt know what I was buying and now I think this is a bad game"

🎮 Gameplay – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Echoes of the Architects is a real-time strategy game that rewards creativity, strategic depth, and adaptability. Instead of commanding pre-set armies, you design and program your own units from scratch — choosing locomotion systems, weapons, shields, repair tools, and defining their battlefield roles. This robust customization system supports everything from early-game resource collectors to shield-bearing tanks and precision long-range attackers. Battles are fast-paced yet cerebral. Units follow programmable priorities, letting them execute complex maneuvers without requiring high actions-per-minute, so you can focus on macro-level tactics instead of micro-management. Victory comes from anticipating threats, exploiting enemy weaknesses, and deploying the right mix of units at the right time. --- 🧠 AI & Echo System – ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ The standout feature is the *Echoes* system: the game records player matches and uses them to train neural-ne...

The game markets itself as an autobattler, but in actuality it mostly focuses players down to a specific play style. Want to dominate your opponent economically? sorry kiddo, the set cap of how much you are allowed to spend in a battle negates that option. take a minimal amount of damage in the start but slowly push back? whoops the timer has decided that you lose because you dont play fast enough!
