A welcomed RPG addition!

When I saw that the Tactical Adventures team was adding multi-player support, this immediately went on my wish list. It did not disappoint! Although, I have to admit that I was skeptical and very worried at the opening of the game when I heard the word "piss" in three places in less than two minutes. Thankfully, the dialog got waaay better! The good: 1) Everybody knows the combat is great. The vertical dimension adds a lot to the game. 2) The voiceovers are good and frequently funny. There are lots of comments that appear during combat. For me, these are the highlights of the voice acting because there are frequently new ones that pop up, keeping a sense of freshness to the characters. 3) Good stories and engaging (though straightforward) quests. 4) Great music. Improvements to make: 1) Because the game is fully voiced, dialog options are pretty limited. There's nowhere near the amount available compared to a Baldur's Gate 2 or, more appropriate, Divinity Original Sin 2. Part of me would be happy to have more depth there at the expense of the voices. 2) There are only three male voices. So, if you have an all-male party, two guys will have an identical voice. It would be nice to have a free DLC that adds 2-3 new sets. 3) There are only three female voices and one of those is the high-pitched male voice! 4) There are some bugs here and there, but nothing that completely breaks the game. The "Crown of the Magister" campaign got itself out of sync a few times during combat and the game was unable to proceed because one player saw the turn for one character, and another saw the turn for a different character. I haven't seen this in "The Lost Valley". I'm looking forward to more modules a la "The Lost Valley", which is an improvement over the original campaign.

Icewind Dale/Realms of Arkania LITE

This game is a like a light mix of Icewind Dale and Realms of Arkania. You create your party of 4 based off of any combinations, then are sent on a combat heavy trek to recover an important artifact, with little bits of basic story spread throughout to keep you going. When travelling to world map locations, you need provisions and there is a descriptive panel on the left for flavour telling you what your adventurers are doing or who they bump into on the road. You also have random encounters which are fairly repetitive. Solasta is definitely NOT of the same quality as the above mentioned games, but I found the main campaign to be interesting and engaging enough, and it is nice for a change to play a game that doesn't dump paragraphs of lore onto you or modern day politics. The combat is great, giving you a real feel of tactical control over what is happening. Casting Light will damage the vampires surrounding you, Levitating your wizard will protect him from melee orcs, shoving a skeleton into a chasm is satisfying. If you have experience playing these types of games, the fights can be very rewarding. I thought at first that maybe the fights were too simple, so I went into a fight with no real tactics at all and got destroyed easily. I went back to the same fight with preparation and destroyed them easily. Planning matters, which is nice in this day and age where a lot of games you can just basic attack your way to victory. Definitely worth a play if you want a more classic experience.

Truly, a D&D 5e Game

Really pleased by what I've played so far, with 5 hours in the game and a few dungeons under my belt, I see this is two independent things: 1. It is a very good translation of the D&D 5e Rules Set into a PC Game. I've been playing D&D since AD&D 1st, and while this isn't an OD&D clone, it is indeed just a verbatim translation of D&D 5e, as near as I can tell, limited only by what they were allowed to use as part of the SRD. They have done this admirably, and I really hope they are able to use more in time. The campaign thus far is well written, and feels much like any campaign I have played in or ran - I would describe it as generic high fantasy. Nothing wrong with that. 2. It is also a toolbox for other people to use. I was very surprised to see that the game has support for co-op, creating your own adventures, and downloading other peoples'. A review of the mod.io website shows what appears to be a handful of level 1 - 12 campaigns, and it appears the community remains active. Long story short, it appears that D&D 5e now has an outlet for dungeon masters to share their creations to a broader audience. Once again, very happy with what the team has managed, and I hope they continue and expand their work.

Good DnD game, but unpolished

Its hard not to compare this to Baldurs Gate 3. Solasta clearly has a lower budget, but still delivers a DnD experience that in some ways is better than BG3. Solasta is clearly more combat driven, while BG3 is story driven. So if you like DnD style battles and mechanics this is going to be a blast. Do you want high end, polished graphics, audio and AAA story telling, then its not matching up to those expectations. Mechanics are nice, especially how they did the reaction mechanic (that BG3 just stole ) works better in Solasta than in BG3 Graphics are old school but good enough to enjoy the game with, but the dialog can be greatly improved. Add some more voice actors, better angles. BG3 has this covered, and delivers 100% on that. Solasta doesn't have too many cutscenes and at least most of them easily skippable. Which makes exploring, battle and replaying the game much more enticing and easy. Something I have a hard time with in BG3, I cannot just pick up BG3 over and over. Solasta is the first game that I buy classes as DLC's purely because its a small studio and I want them to get income to polish the game as much as they can!

Good game with flaws

It's a good game but it has plenty of flaws. While it is no long an early-release game, it still feels like an early-release game. The game content is lacking as they are missing several classes and races that should be there. The level cap is too low and the story is too short for a $40 game. There are several bugs still in the game and some of them aren't just annoying as they break entire features of the game. IMO, this is still an early-release quality game regardless of whether the devs want to say that it is no longer "in development" or "early release". That being said it is a very fun game if you enjoy turn-based, tactical party games with a DnD flavor. However, it is not worth $40. Wait for it to be on sale for less than $20 because that is the most this game is worth at the moment.
