So, this game is a continuation of the Eve universe which started with Eve Online (EO). EO was released in 2003 by CCP Games and is in the MMORPG genre. Even now, after almost two decades, the PC game has many active players, some having spent more than 10,000 hours on it.
Eve Echoes (EE), on the other hand, takes place in an alternative universe and is still MMO though not really an RPG. It is a spinoff made by NetEase, the distributor of the game in China.
The Android game has already been downloaded over a million times despite just having been launched globally last August 13. It is available in six major languages other than English.
The graphics are of high quality and as soon as you start the game, it alerts you to the fact that the protagonist is a clone. You then have to choose from four different races which will not really affect the gameplay much aside from the looks of your character as well as the ship you start out with. You can buy new ships later in the game.
The game provides a truly immersive experience ass you would really feel as if you are exploring the vast and seemingly endless universe. You get to navigate to different star systems, orbit and loot objects in space, dock in stations, or simply shoot down anomalies and enemies with your weapon.
It is a must to free at least 3gb of space on your device prior to installation, since the game itself is around 2gb already.
Since the setup of an MMO can be overwhelming, especially to those who are new to the genre, you can always choose autopilot if you are not really confident in your manual space exploration skills yet. Also, the tutorials are a really big help and you will get nice rewards as you advance.
