This could've been so great

I bought this while it was on sale, and I'm glad that I read the other reviews first because, as already a lot of others have said, the game is not worth the full price. The combat system is great, and the DnD rules are well-implemented, which makes it fun to try out different characters. Those are the only good things about this game, unfortunately. The campaign's story could've been a lot better. Towards the end, it's totally rushed, and you can clearly see that the devs were in a hurry to get the game released. The voice acting is cringe-worthy, and the 3D cutscenes are not nice to look at because the character models look like pulled from the early 2000s. This money would've been better invested in delivering a great story just using a text-based system without 3D cutscenes like in Divinity: Original Sin or Pillars of Eternity. Also, the fact that some basic classes like druid, barbarian and monk are only playable when you buy the according DLCs leaves a taste of an unfinished game where the focus was on getting it released quickly and making more money by hiding basic classes behind a paywall. Because of the great combat and character system, I am having more fun at the moment with user-created campaigns (the Lost Valley DLC is slightly better than the main campaign but still lacking in depth, so I won't give the 3rd DLC "Palace of Ice" a try until it's heavily discounted). Thankfully, the devs have delivered a decent dungeon-maker tool so that people can implement interesting campaigns themselves. To wrap it up: The combat and character system are fun, but the campaign's story is linear, predictable and lacking in depth. Get this game and the Inner Strength + Primal Calling DLCs when they are on sale, and have a look at user-created campaigns. Then you get to enjoy good stories too.

Great first entry from a small team.

It's more like Icewind Dale than Baldur's Gate in it's linearity, but if that doesn't bother you, this tactical RPG is really good and you should give it a try. As long as you're not bothered by weird looking characters, you will enjoy this one.

Awful dialog and cutscenes

This game is very bare-bones as an RPG, which would be fine if it at least did combat well and stuck to that. Unfortunately, it insists on wasting your time by pretending to be a real RPG, and making you sit through constant dialog sections that barely give you any choices at all and were written by someone who had no idea what they were doing. The dialog is so bad that it almost sounds like it was generated procedurally. Characters often don't sound like they're actually responding to each other. The lines themselves are cliche to the point of absurdity. Your party walks into a burning fort and one character remarks, in total seriousness, "I have a bad feeling about this." It also doesn't help that the dialog comes out of the mouths of character models straight out of Oblivion, with even worse animation. The dialog sections might as well be skippable for all of the consequence they have and the lack of choice the player is given, but they unfortuantely aren't. The rest of the game is a ho-hum D&D turn-based combat system. It might have been tolerable if the developers had stuck to doing that and streamlined the rest of the experience, but any value this game might have had is ruined by it pretending that it has a story.

Modern 3D Icewind Dale in 5th Edition

Expect more Icewind Dale than a Baldur's Gate. Still it is a hell of a party! You crawl 30-40 hours of dungeons with 4 user made characters. However unlike Icewind Dale, the characters are fully voiced and make remarks based on chosen personality traits like Greedy, Altruistic, Cautious etc. The story isn't anything to write home about but it is interesting enough to keep you going through the dungeons, but the character dialogue (made by your characters) is usually cheesy (in a good way) and chuckle worthy. Feels like a homebrew campaign by your friends. Combat is very solid and faithful to the 5th edition rules. Unlike the classics, there is an emphasis on verticality, taking full advantage of 3d battlefields. Higher elevation can give you high ground advantage, AoE spells and effects are fully three dimensional spheres or cubes and so on. The dungeons themselves have a decent amount of variety with different kind of puzzles and settings to not get too stale. Around the 30 hour mark it started to get a bit stale but the game quickly picked up again and threw twists in both gameplay and story. In conclusion: a solid dungeon crawl with not much filler. Witty writing and voiced player characters keep you entertained for this classic D&D adventure.

A good game made medicore by 5e ruleset.

Solasta could have been a good game with a little more flexibility in its implementation of the 5e rules. I assume they're 5e rules. The last version of AD&D I actively played was 3e. First, the game is full of minor glitches and unfinished ideas. Not everything was implemented or used, but the game warns you of that. Unless Tactical Adventures abandons the game due to financial constraints I think both of these issues will be cleared up. Second, the story is political and not very "grand questish." That was okay with me - my favorite game had you clearing city blocks at random at the beginning. There's a bit of mystery and question to the quest, typical when creatures that are the prime adversary in Solasta are involved. Third, quest choices are limited. There are side quests that become available as your characters level that you can pursue, but they're always a return to an existing area. The order of the main quest is pretty much set. Fourth, the game is limited to level 10. This is far, far too low. I hit level 10 12 hours before I finished the game. Fifth, crafting is meh. It takes too long, too many special ingredients, and you find better gear. Sell the ingredients, keep the gold, buy from the vendors. Sixth, concentration. Between concentration and advantage, spell casters are nerfed - at least compared to what I'm use to.. You'll see forum posts recommending you use a wizard and magic missile exclusively. There's a reason for that - it's the only reliable form of damage because it doesn't suffer from dis/advantage and it doesn't miss. Concentration makes lower level slots worth a lot less. You can't hold bless and wall of fire or conjure elemental or - take your pick. Any buffing spell requires concentration. Wizards can't haste their warrior friend and do anything else. Finally, you will miss. A lot. So will the enemy. You'll sit there and swing at each other. Repeatedly. One word description: frustrating. (Out of space!)
