Don't get me wrong, I like a good
challenge in my games. I suppose one of my biggest complaints,
though, is a game that doesn't make my objectives clear and causes me
to wander around aimlessly, dealing with random encounters that feel
purposeless because I don't know where I'm going. I also don't like
games that I can put hours and hours into, but because of randomized
rewards, I might not gain anything useful to advance in the game. Yet
games like this that require “grind” seem to appeal to the
younger generation, and I catch myself about to judge them when I
recall how much more time I had back when I was that age. Long, empty
summers with no job, no family to take care of and nothing to do
meant a lot of time to kill--what better way to pass time than to
pound away at a game and feel like I'm accomplishing something
through brute force? It can be immensely gratifying, somehow, but
these days, not so much.
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.
