Solasta: Crown of the Magister

Great Indie D&D 5e tactical RPG

Bought the base game and Lost Valley + Primal Calling a while back when they were heavily discounted and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Enjoyed it enough that I bought the rest of the DLC as they released without waiting for sales because this Indie studio deserves to be supported. I avoided this game on release due to all the reports of bugs but in 2023 this game is solid. There are still some glitches and the latest updates have introduced more bugs but nothing on the scale of Bugthesda. Don't expect big budget graphics or voice acting since this is from an Indie studio, they are decent but far from AAA quality. Not that important to me anyway since D&D is primarily a game of imagination. The tactical combat is rock solid, story/world building are pretty good (refreshing change from the WotC licensed settings) and there is a wide amount of variety when building characters. While there are difficulty settings to tailor the experience, it is possible to end up with bad builds. Look up some build guides if necessary. Could also do with more backgrounds during character creation, there are only 12 at the moment (7 of which have side quests) if you have all DLC. Some of the subclasses could do with a balance pass (*cough* Spellblade *cough*). Still a great game overall. Finally, to correct some misinformation: Lightbringers Edition does indeed include all the DLC to date (Primal Calling as well).
