When video games first began, it was
all about single player. For at least two decades, video games
thrived on singleplayer, and multiplayer--if it was
included--involved couch co-op (sitting together with friends or
family.) Once online gaming became possible with the internet,
though, the landscape slowly began to shift. No longer was
multiplayer tacked-on, but instead, it was often the focus. Some
games are now only playable through multiplayer with online
communities driving the game. Once players tire of a game, though,
some competitive online games can no longer be played, which is
possibly one reason gamers get upset when a game does not include a
single player mode. But what is the future of the single-player game?
Will it survive?
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.
