didnt work. crashed before coming up
KOTC2 doesn't offer multi classing, so I hope you like the class you chose at start. It's a very awkward implementation of 3.5.Lowmagicage is unfinished, but address some of my concerns. It's also cheapest full price than KOTC2 on discount. I don't like the bugs given the price. Small devs don't need to be flawless. I am willing to cut a lot of slack to an indy game with promise. I just feel like the overall package is limited given the price. I can get more game for less money elsewhere.
While the obvious comparison on the market comparison may seem like Baldur's Gate 3, really Solasta shares more of its mechanical DNA with Ice Wind Dale. It's a tactical dungeon crawl simulator where you construct your entire party to venture through a linear story. It's not as expensive as BG3, but Icewind Dale was always relatively linear compared to it's infinity engine cousins. Solasta is made by a smaller team and the slight lack of polish does reflect the more limited resources at their disposal. Still, it's an excellent adaptation of the 5e tabletop rules that does most things I want it to do. If a sequel is made I'd like to see some additional features like multi-classing. I'd also expect a sequel to be able to start with more classes and races than the standard edition of this game. I understand that a smaller team needs to break the tasks up to keep themselves funded. However, doing a sequel and keeping the exact same drip feed of basic game features split between the packs would feel exploitative. They've already developed their subclasses and races. They've already programmed in the classes. If they make a sequel I'd want more content initially with any dlc packs covering content new to the setting.
If you want a good game don't buy this title. It's a terribly acted fmv game that relied on dated shock value to entertain. It's a time capsule of terrible ideas implemented poorly. It is, at best, like a movie on mst3k were the value is from ironic enjoyment. However, limited run and gog are doing a service. So many games are lost or delisted it's important to fight to save the games we can. Buying this game funds game preservation and it is important to remember our failures along our successes.
