Solasta: Crown of the Magister

I just beat Solasta: Crown of the Magister last week. On Normal Difficulty. Here's my quick review: 1) Great Character Building 2) Great Leveling system 3) Great Personality System 4) Great Story 5) Great Combat A bit more detail: I never had to "grind" to be successful. I simply completed all sidequests and my characters were good enough to get in to even the toughest fights. Granted, some fights were so hard that I needed to save/reload a few times because my initial strategies were trash. I love how this game forces you to think and play strategically instead of just going in guns blazing. The characters have great dialogue scenes that reflect the personalities you assign them during character creation. My only gripes: For the magic system, most of the low level magic spells are enough to get you through the entire game. The higher end spells just never seemed as useful. And I wanted more story! You have to work for an entire Counsel in this game, and I would have loved the game to allow me to perform quests for each Counsel member. Or even force me to choose which Counsel member(s) to align with and quest for them. The world is so intriguing that I wanted much, much more. The gear system needs more polish. The game has high-end weapons/spells/armors that can be acquired from NPCs, but I never needed anything beyond what I found via loot. There is also a crafting/enchanting system, but I also never needed to use that. I also couldn't tell which was stronger: Crafting/Enchanting or NPC Gear. And it didn't matter because my found loot was enough for the end game. Overall, this RPG is an 8 or 9 out of 10. I played the base game only, no Mods. And my primary complaints are that I simply wanted MORE.

A great CRPG. If you like turn-based rpgs like DIvinity 1 & 2, Pathfinder, or Dungeon & Dragons then you love Solasta

Wow, love having my Ironman mode playthrough get ended by not sneaking somewhere. Literally go ♥♥♥♥ yourselves.

I havent finished my 1st playthrough yet, in fact, I just cleared the Dark castle dungeon but Ill update the review if I need to. I think Solasta is a good game, but it does need some polishing (example: character apperances, having to long rest to level up...). I was afraid I wasnt going to enjoy the game much, specially after playing BG3 and Divinity 1 EE, but I am genuinely having fun playing Solasta at the moment. While its not fair to compare Solasta to Larian's games such as BG3 or Divinity, I believe any fan of DnD/strategy games would enjoy Solasta (buy it on sale tho). The way the gameplay flows is very satisfying because you're jumping from one dungeon to another and, as a person who loves taking a break often, it helps rationing the time spent on each session. I also really enjoy having a party made entirely from scratch, and the way they interact with each other and their environment is actually pretty good. Oh, lastly, I think Solasta's biggest crime is locking races and classes behind paid DLCs, which despite bringing new campaigns, it's still not an acceptable thing to do at all. Im hoping these kind of mistakes arent repeated in Solasta II, Im keeping an eye on it as it develops :)

jogãooooo

Personagens meio chatos, e feios, mas O JOGO TRAVA E FECHA TODA HORA!!!! Isso é muito chato, e EXTREMAMENTE repetitivo, reduzir as configurações, como o aviso indica, não ajudou mt, consegui passar do baú que fazia travar, mas logo fica travando em outras partes e é realmente chato. O jogo é baseado no 5e, então tbm não tão legal, mas essa parte é a proposta e parece cumprir bem, embora seja mt fácil e mt enrolado. MAS O JOGO FICA TRAVANDO E FECHANDO SOZINHO. Jogo pelo steam deck modo desktop, deixo algo no YT pq esse jogo não me cativa pra focar (as vezes foco só no jogo sim, mas estou falando isso pois não sei se isso é o que faz o jogo ficar fechando, mas ele roda liso, não faz sentido ser subrecarga do deck, o deck é bem potente e eu jogo coisas bem mais pesadas)

Finally, a CRPG with an authentic difficulty setting that is actually truly authentic. To paraphrase a friend of mine, it's amazing that 5e's rules work fine when you don't bog them down with a mountain of house rules.

I really like the attention to the D&D rule set. I like the tactical nature of the combat. And I also like the way that puzzles are built into many of the areas that can be explored. These guys are doing quite a lot on what is clearly a limited actor budget. The conversations could be fleshed out, and there aren't the depth of story lines. But I doubt that many are going to have the time, patience and resources to match BG3 for some time....without adding in a lot of AI behaviour. I like it. worth the money because you get hundreds of hours of entertainment. So the value per hour is excellent. Oh....and it is really cool to fireball creatures when you manage to ambush them in random encounters.

I honestly really like this game my brother and i are doing a co-op campaign right now and i think its great i already went through solasta 2 early access and decided to come back and play the original and im not disapointed just goes to show you devs dont need a billion dollars to make something great and well put together.

que jogo maravilhoso!!! viciado em jogar com ele com meu grupo e o mestre usando com vtt! SIMPLISMENTE SUPERIOR AO FOUNDRY OU FANTASY GROUNDS
