Absolutely great for Multiplayer Co-Op!
This game has a native multiplayer / Lobby system that does not require Galaxy or another wrapper to work, which means that Crossplay with other stores works flawlessly. However, there doesn't seem to be a "direct connection" option, so when the lobby servers are inevitably taken offline, MP will be lost. My only other gripe is that there occasionally are desyncs, which result, in my experience, either in item misappropriation / ghosting, or stuck battles where the client falsely keeps waiting for the host. Probably instead of TCP they use UDP for game traffic, which is ill-advised for internet use. On the plus side, since you can save anytime, this is easily remedied. Another reviewer found that the banter / dialogue is too long or overly verbose, I find it quite enjoyable, the perfect balance both between too minimalistic "go there, get this" and being a litany, and between too serious and too light-hearted. It is possibly the choice of different character traits that influences the latter, though. In fact, occasionally I find some quests end a little abruptly, where I'd at least have expected a closing remark from the respective NPCs the next time being talked to. Also, the voice acting is very good, I've not encountered any severely unfitting intonation or emphasis, which is rare. I'm using the english language, so other localisations may vary in quality. And while it's true that there isn't a lot of depth to the RPG side, there is enough story and "in-between" to keep people like me interested, who are neither keen for nor against tactical, battle-oriented games. If I were to play it solo, then maybe the lack of meaningful choice would be detrimental? Additionally, such games often suffer from graphical neglect (low-poly models / bland textures), which Solasta clearly doesn't. Speaking of tactics, sadly it's often hard or impractical to get opponents into places where you could "use the environment", but possibly mind control spells would work here, so YMMV.
Is this helpful to you?
