Bullet Echo India Hands-On Impressions: Should You Play Krafton's New Twin-Stick Shooter?

Bullet Echo is a mobile game with tactical top-down gameplay, where you control heroes with unique abilities in short, fast-paced matches. The original game released in 2020 but we are now getting an India-exclusive version dubbed "Bullet Echo India" as a result of a collaboration between Bullet Echo maker Zeptolab and Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) maker KRAFTON. AFK Gaming got early access to the game from KRAFTON and here are our thoughts on the game after trying out the new PvP tactical top-down shooter.

What is Bullet Echo India?

"Bullet Echo" offers intense multiplayer battles where players compete in real-time against each other. The game's unique twist lies in its stealth mechanics, where players must navigate the environment cautiously to avoid detection by opponents. The top-down perspective adds a strategic element, allowing players to plan their movements and attacks carefully.

Gameplay and Performance Overview

The game features crisp and colorful graphics, with detailed character designs and environments. The visual style complements the stealth-paced gameplay well. The sound design, including weapon effects and environmental cues, adds to the immersive experience.

The controls are intuitive and responsive, optimized for touchscreens. Players can easily move their character, aim their weapons, and perform actions such as shooting and using abilities with minimal effort.

Bullet Echo India incorporates a progression system where players can unlock new characters, and abilities as they level up. There are legendary characters that you can unlock via chests which can be obtained in-game.
