Solasta: Crown of the Magister

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is an excellent game for anyone who loves turn-based RPGs or D&D in general. Since there are so many options for difficulty and game rules, pretty much anyone can play it regardless if you want something easy to experience the story, something extremely challenging, or something in between. Additionally, although I did run into some issues early on, all of them got better as I moved further into the story, which is the reverse of most games that typically start super polished and get rougher as you move closer to the end. This isn't a game to sleep on.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is the perfect game for the classic CRPG lovers.

On the whole, Solasta is a solid D&D simulator. Though its narrative is nothing to write home about, and the game can be a tad buggy at times, it has actually made me reconsider playing D&D as it showcases the system’s strengths so effectively. Hopefully Tactical Adventures will add more campaigns to Solasta over time, allowing players to use the same characters in various scenarios, mix them together to create party combos, and just generally become invested in them.

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.

With its extremely faithful rendition of the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset, Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a dream come true for all those D&D fans who also happen to love video games. However, strict adherence to this ruleset is also the game's main flaw, as it results in an overwhelming experience for all those who do not live and breathe Dungeons & Dragons. Those who power through the initial difficulties, though, will find a solid cRPG featuring great tactical combat and amazing depth.

Overall though, in spite of the snags I hit, Tactical Adventures mostly did a really good job with the story and the combat in Solasta. It succeeds in pumping some life into a genre that hasn’t been catching my attention for a while. Some of my points might come across as a bit harsh, but I want to stress that it was still a very good experience most of the time. It might need a little love that it’s almost certain to get post-release, but I can still recommend this game for fans of D&D style RPGs.

SOLASTA: Crown of the Magister has its faults, but still manages to be an enjoyable RPG experience. if you just want a D&D-eqsue dungeon crawler to play through, there are certainly worse options to choose from.

It's a good game, though for a fan of the cRPG genre as such. But don't listen to all those "I've played more cRPGs than all of you and this cRPG is bad". As if it gives some kind of special advantage. Many imperfections are only a matter of time before they are fixed, so there's no point in whining about it. This game is still being updated. The game is more than playable, gameplay-wise it's well done and the mechanics from DnD are nicely felt. Graphically it's not the best, though it's not bad, but that's not what you should care about in a cRPG. The story is pretty subjective here, some might like it and some might not. It is worth noting the dungeon editor, it is a promising feature, although so far it is only in the early stages of development. This game has great development potential.

Good game if you are ready that this is a lower budget game. I played "Lost Valley" campaign in coop mode. The combat system is the most faithful implementation of D&D 5e ruleset I've seen – much more faithful than Baldur's Gate 3 – with all it's pros and cons. But the mechanics (combat, crafting, exploration) is the best this game has to offer. Graphics, character models are only decent. Quests are mostly fetch quests with random encounters in between. Dialogues are so minimal that I very often didn't know what the quest is about and why I'm here. But regardless of this issues, it was a fun game and I spent good 50 hours with my wife playing it. We were laughing at every inconsistency, lack of solid plot and rather unsatisfying ending.

You can't leave town unless you complete certain objectives. So, not remotely open world. I just don't like it. Feels as linear as it can possibly be. No thanks.

A disappointing game that is nothing more than a combat simulator with mind numbingly and unthinking implementation of 5e rule to a computer game. Other than the combat aspect (which is marred by bugs and some issues), the adventuring gameplay aspect, the writing and plot, character development (or lack thereof), the lousy travel mechanics that do not allow you to change your destination once set, the buggy travel mechanics that results in you getting exhausted and thus surprised every time you make camp if you do not set off at the "correct hours", ... all these are extremely lacking. Not the mention the very linear game play, the limited locale to visit that does not even open up until the plot progress (not even when you see the background image in game and get close to it .. NONE of them) ... the lack of exploration and adventure plus the mindless implementation of 5e rules that does not make sense in a computer game shows the lack of understanding **** rpg game by the developer. So .. no .. this is a don't buy - unless you are looking for nothing more than a competent DnD combat simulator.
