Wizards of the Coast granted Tactical Adventures a license to use the Dungeons and Dragons SRD 5.1 Ruleset, further anchoring our will to make the most faithful video game adaptation with the Tabletop Ruleset and craft the game you are hoping for!

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!

New Campaign Creator Feature, allowing custom dungeons to be bundled together into a campaign with custom monsters, custom NPCs & merchants and custom items!
just had a few hours in Solasta, but I can say that till now this game feels like pure Pen&Paper-Magic for me. The dice, the dialog choices, the heroes, the missions, everything seems to breath classic roleplaying atmosphere.
I really wish they would release a game in the official Dungeons&Dragons-Setting. I would love to discover the Swordcoast with such a game. Imagine the possibilities... :)
Solasta is a game that has potential. It could have been a good game but there are so many cons that make it impossible to give it a good review. Graphics are dated, it looks rather like a game from 2008 than a game published in 2021. But this could be overlooked for an oldschool style RPG. However there are so many other problems:
The interface feels clunky, outdated and its ugly. It looks more like the interface of a game in an early alpha stage. The crafting system is awkward and in no way intuitive. Combat is very random and especially random encounters can be deadly for your party with monsters that are too powerful for your party. As there is no real autosave function, you could easily lose an hour of gameplay when you get stuck in a random encounter when traveling.
On the positive side is the fact that the game uses D&D 5.0 rules -- so after the disappointment with Baldurs Gate III Solasta could have been a gem for D&D enthusiasts.
The story is generic but ok, but it railroads the party through the game. You simply go from point A to B back to A and then C and so on. Voiceacting is ok but do not expect any surprises.
All in all the game is not worth it, at least not with the current pricetag. If you want it, wait for a sale.
Beaten it once, it's plenty of fun well balanced and varied 5E fights with some puzzles and RP. Along with a cool story. Seems a bit light for a full $60 game but $40 seems right def got my $$ worth, and if it's on sale all the better.
As someone who has a stable of characters just dying to roll dice, it was a pleasant surprise to create four of them and then have the fantasy trope AI take over with their spoken dialog. Race, class and alignment seem to be taken into consideration when your characters speak dialog, which was fun.
Combat is strategic in the same vein that 5e is strategic, and I didn't feel like I was just doing the same things over and over. One weapon swap per turn, plus plenty of bonus actions provide lots of options to make combat an active endeavor. I would often find myself almost finished with a fight and then realize I could have approached it a totally different way.
My one persistent complaint was fixable by a mod - Paladins should be able to cast while weilding sword and shield (holy symbol on shield.) Not a game breaker and honestly provided another level of strategy with the one weapon swap per turn.
I'm excited to see where they take this given the surprise success of the title.
