[[File:Solo1.jpg|link=Final Fantasy I|frame|'''Chaos:''' [[Everybody's Dead, Dave|Everybody's dead, Dave.]]]]

 

A variation of the [[Self-Imposed Challenge]] restricted to games with multiple controllable characters, like [[Role-Playing Game|RPGs]] or strategy games. The player selects one character from the roster and completes the game using ''only'' that character, with all the others being restricted to a support role, [[Not Quite Dead|perpetually dead]], constantly blocking, or just ignored.

 

Not to be confused with [[Solo Sequence]], in which single-character play is temporarily enforced. A character class ([[Fake Balance|supposedly]]) designed to facilitate this kind of play is a [[Solo Class]].

* This is more or less the preferred method of playing the game ''[[Daikatana]]'', as the AI for your companions is buggy at best. The death of either one of them ends the level just the same as though you had died. Typically, the best option is to order them to stay put in some safe corner and go out and kill everything yourself.
