Echoes of Nothing Blends Soulslike Combat With Sci-Fi Dogfighting
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Echoes of Nothing is a newly announced sci-fi soulslike dogfighting game from solo developer Henry Bertermann, combining intense spaceship combat with brutal boss fights on a massive colony ship, now crowdfunding on Kickstarter for PC via Steam.
Solo developer Henry Bertermann has officially revealed Echoes of Nothing, an ambitious new project that combines the methodical, high stakes combat of a soulslike with the fast paced movement of space dogfighting. As recently highlighted by IGN South Africa, the announcement trailer showcases players fighting their way through the claustrophobic corridors and massive chambers of a colossal colony ship. Instead of trading sword swings for dodge rolls, you are piloting specialized craft against overwhelming odds.
The premise leans heavily into classic sci-fi survival tropes, tasking players with outmaneuvering daunting bosses and evading relentless incoming fire to determine the fate of existence. The combination of twitch reflexes and deliberate tactical positioning could carve out a fresh niche for fans who love brutal boss fights but want a break from standard fantasy settings. Bertermann is relying on a community funded model to bring the vision to life, launching a Kickstarter campaign alongside the trailer drop to support ongoing development for the PC release on Steam.
For players tracking indie innovations outside of major publisher ecosystems, crowdfunded projects like this offer a direct line to supporting unique gameplay concepts. While soulslike mechanics in non traditional genres always carry a balancing risk, the sheer novelty of spaceship boss progression makes this one worth keeping on your radar. You can check out the initial footage and back the campaign directly on the official Kickstarter page.
