Created and written by lifelong fans of Pen & Paper RPGs, comes Solasta: Crown of the Magister.
Bring the authentic Tabletop gaming experience to your PC!
Roll for initiative, take attacks of opportunity, manage player location and the verticality of the battle field. Set yourself up for the finishing strike and possibly roll a natural 20 at that key moment of battle.In Solasta, you take control of four heroes, each with unique skills that complement one another. Every hero expresses themselves in the adventure, making each action and dialog choice a dynamic part to the story. Players will create their heroes just as they would in a pen-and-paper game by choosing their race, class, personality and rolling for their stats.
You make the choices, dice decide your destiny.
Key Features:
- An Epic Team Adventure
Discover the shattered world of Solasta: explore ruins and dungeons for legendary treasures, learn the truth of an age-old cataclysm - and stop it from happening again.
Create your very own party of adventurers with our Character Creation Tool in the classic tabletop RPG tradition. Breathe life into your heroes, and see their personalities reflected in their dialogue. Tailor your squad to your preferred strategy and maximize your party's abilities. The choice is yours. - Discover a Mysterious & Dynamic World
Delve into long forgotten dungeons to unearth ancient artifacts, but stay watchful of light and darkness: many dangers hide in the dark, but a light can attract monsters. Some enemies have darkvision, some may flee from your torch... Successful adventurers will learn to use it to their advantage.
Fight monsters in squad-level, turn-based, tactical combat. Solasta's dynamic environment offers some interesting tactical options. Bridges can collapse, leaving enemies stranded and vulnerable. Walls and columns can be pushed over - on top of your foes, if you do it right. The world is your playground. - Prepare to Think in Three Dimensions
The dungeons in Solasta are more than flat game-boards. Climb, jump, or fly around obstacles. Evade or surprise foes from above or below. Push them into chasms or drop things on their heads. Position yourself on high grounds to start the fight with an advantage.
Size also matters. Escape through narrow passages where bigger enemies won't fit and crawl through tunnels to find secret areas. Take advantage of the environment to find cover suited to your own size. Watch out, though - the monsters are also thinking vertically. - Dungeon Maker
In Solasta, the adventure does not stop after the campaign is over. Unleash your creativity and craft your own dungeons to play and share with friends with the snap of a finger using the in-game Dungeon Maker! From the room layout, monster composition and treasure the party will find – down to the decoration and lighting of each room or the music track playing – everything is decided by you.
Note that the Dungeon Maker is a work in progress and will keep being improved as time goes by, so look forward to more Dungeon Maker features in the future!

70/100
Solasta's storytelling may not be up to much, but its tactical combat and accessible approach to D&D rules make it worth considering for CRPG fans.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister takes the mantle of the “most” Dungeons & Dragons video game out there, if not quite the best. Though the game has a modular adventure setup that strongly suggests there will be more stories, this one falls too flat for its 40- to 50-hour length. However, the combat system is merely a few tweaks short of perfection, so I’d still be interested in sending my heroes on another adventure in the realm of Solasta.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is an authentic D&D experience, with great tactical combat and plenty of deep systems to chow down on.

Brilliant Successor to Neverwinter
As much as games like Neverwinter Nights hold a special place in my memory, playing them now you can see just how poorly they aged. Solasta inherited its grandparent's sword and uses it to great effect here. Gone are the clunky controls and awkward chase cameras, the awful voice acting, and the extremely limited character customization. Here you can make everything from a full party of Paladins to a gang of murder hobos, and everything in between...even something resembling balance. The camera can freely explore the map within the constraints of the fog of war, giving you a great overhead almost isometric view of the playing field. Best of all the dice rolls coupled with the turn-based system make it approachable for all ages and skill levels without sacrificing strategy. Within an hour I knew I had a gem on my hands and immediately got most of the DLC available.

Fun comfortable game
Solasta is a very fun and interesting indie RPG game based on the 5th edition of D&D. Currently in early access there is a nice play length of game to have a go at. The story is nice, it's early access so obviously missing somethings but it is easy to see the love and fun that the makers of the game have put into it. The current build plays a lot better then some of the earlier builds and the game play is great. It might not have the highest budget and fanciest graphics but it is a fun comfortable RPG game and worth giving at least a look into.

2020's ToEE w/ refurbished D&D rulesets
As officially announced, Solasta: Crown of the Magister strictly sticks to D&D 5e rules (I had not familiarised myself with these new rules compared with 2e/3e). I have been a long time fan of 1990s' isometric pc fantasy RPG such as Baldur's Gate 1/2, arcanum and temple of elemental evil, and in my impression the closest comparison is (as stated in other trustable reviews posted already) definitely ToEE (which I love!). The game architecture often seems to focus more on role playing simulation than on dramatization: You might find some kind of "detached" feelings if you get used to today's console RPGs. I think this is exactly how the production team believe that any RPG based on a tabletop RPG should be recreated into the form of CRPG. I have seen somewhere the production team directly answered to the player's review, and they are actually very humble about what they can provide with limited resources (in terms of the production size and budgets). The interface design is also very minimalistic, hence less confusing. As most people pointed out, the campaign is rather linear, but you can take many type of actions with a party of 4 playable characters you create, without any NPCs who interject into interaction throughout the main plot (often ignoring players' own imagination). I think this is a very rare quality which today's CRPG titles tend to renounce because of their affiliation with other media, or pressures from funders. You might find similar vibes in retro fantasy CRPGs such as Wizardry, Phantasie, Darklands, etc. While you do not get used to the mechanism you might feel some encounters often challenging, or sometimes unreasonable, but it feels more like RPG experience to me. Anyway, around level 4 it starts to feel suddenly comfortable. I have seen some negative reviews and I understand how they feel and their claim is legitimate: It is not for everyone. Nonetheless I enjoyed Solasta, despite of its own limitation, much more than BG 3 or D:OS.
