When confronted with an experience in a
game that seems almost impossible to surmount, I realize that for me,
it really depends whether I'm going to enjoy the challenge or not.
I'm not too into puzzle games, because I have very limited time to
play games in the first place, so I need to feel like I'm making
progress. Challenging puzzles sometimes require many long minutes or
even a few hours to solve, and though some people feel incredible
elation at finally solving a puzzle and consider their time
well-spent, I become annoyed and irritated, feeling like I wasted my
time. Most video games and table-top RPG's like Solar Echoes are
designed to feed the player a continually developing experience—we
players love to see our character's skills and appearance develop and
feel the story progress. Yet sometimes, if we are met with a
challenge that halts this momentum, it can potentially spoil the
experience for us...
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
