Ecco: The Tides of Time Overview
Ecco: The Tides of Time is a sequel where the protagonist, a dolphin named Ecco, must save the world's oceans from a renewed threat. The previous victory over the Vortex proved incomplete, as its Queen survived and destroyed the Asterite, a key celestial body, dooming the seas.
The core objective involves navigating through time, which has fractured into two distinct potential futures. One path represents the regular timeline, while the other is a dark alternative controlled by the Vortex Queen. Ecco's journey through these timelines is necessary to restore the Asterite and achieve a final victory.
This installment presents enhanced visual presentation compared to the first game. A notable addition to its mechanics is an alternative perspective where the viewpoint shifts to follow the dolphin from behind, rather than employing a consistent side view.
