Solar echoes is a game that was largely made by a single guy, and the end result is pretty impressive to say the least.

Gameplay: Pretty standard for a visual novel. You read the story and at certain points you are presented with some choices to make, your choices actually do matter so you have to be careful with what you pick. Some choices will even result in a game over so choose wisely.

Story: The story is pretty straightforward. You are Trey Donovan a former military man who has been selected by the government to travel to various alien worlds with the goal of uniting all the alien races under one banner. In order to do this you have to bring back a delegate from each alien world to the peace conference and hopefully order will be restored in the galaxy. However whether or not you succeed is based on the choices that you make.

Characters: This where the game really shines. Watching the interactions between the characters and watching their relationships grow and develop over time is the most engaging part of the game. Of course how these relationships will develop will be based on the choices that you make. My favourite was Oasu by the way.

Graphics: The character sprites are really detailed and have a wider range of emotions to express how they are feeling. I will be honest some of the backgrounds did feel a little bland at times especially on the jungle planet, but it was pretty minor since it's the characters that are the most important part of the game. It would have also been nice to have some walking animations for the characters but due to the limitations of the game this is understandable and not a huge deal.

Music: I enjoyed the music of the game. It has that classic sci fi feel to it, the same that you get when watching some of those old sci fi shows on tv. So yeah it fits the game nicely.

All in all a pretty solid game overall and it's very impressive since it was mostly a one man show. As far as visual novels go, this one is pretty good and is definitely worth your time. I give it a solid

8/10.
