I came across this game at a con and decided to give it a try. The alien races and setting are intriguing yet grounded. The game play is smooth and fast (though it took me a bit to get used to the d6 system, having been fully indoctrinated in the d20 system). The focus is clearly on role-playing instead of roll-playing, which is just where I like it. If you are looking for a new science-fiction role-playing game with streamlined rules and interesting alien races…

The game is fun, fast paced, original concept with varying environments, creative, and imaginative races with an easy to learn system. It feels like you are a part of the crew of your favorite scifi space craft with endless possibilities. We ended up having a great time and we are cycling sessions in for once or twice a month. This game is fun and keeps you interested. It feels like you are on the crew of Firefly or Cowboy Bebop. LOVED THIS GAME.” Nick, Gamestop…

I got a chance to play this at a con. The game advertises itself as a “tactical RPG.” Usually games that try to be “tactical” result in a complicated mass of rules and slow combat, but to my surprise the rules were quite streamlined and combat moved quickly. It’s a d6 system, so no need for a large selection of dice. Two things to note about Solar Echoes’ combat style is that 1) the action phase for all characters take place at the same time…

A game that seduced the players of our RPG club, with a simple and smooth rules system, that in my opinion needs to be used with miniatures and maps to experience the full potential of it’s strategic gameplay.” -Fabrice, Gamer in France
