Echoes initially lulls you into thinking that it is a simple action game of avoidance, but it quickly becomes one of strategy, where you must figure out the best places to move so that the shadows will spawn there and not the places you need to go to pick up the crystals. The key to the game is to obviously keep moving and keep moving quickly, because if you linger too long, a shadow could spawn right underneath you or you could get trapped by a few unmoving shadows, which creates a vicious cycle that you will not survive. It's a strategy game that we really have not seen before, and it's brilliant.
