Alter Echo arrived in 2003, developed by Outrage Games — the studio behind the Descent saga, recently acquired by THQ — and published by that same publisher. Set in the year 2850, it proposed a world where a substance called MultiPlast could transform into any shape thanks to the so-called Shapers, a power the protagonist used to switch between melee combat, shooting and stealth as the moment demanded. A time-dilation system allowed players to chain moves and special attacks against biomechanical enemies. It was the only title Outrage managed to finish under THQ's wing: the studio closed that same year, shortly after launch.
