![]() ![]() The characters are then introduced in a tutorial that integrates them into the story based on customizable background choices. Thankfully, each of the classes offers sub-class options, which gives some much-needed depth and choice to the character creation process. Unfortunately, the game does not include some of the classic choices such as barbarian and Half-Orc. Players start by choosing from seven classes and five races. Many strengths and weaknesses come directly from that system, as Solasta does a good job implementing the rules of the tabletop game. Solasta: Crown of the Magister succeeds in large part in recreating the tabletop experience of a fifth-edition adventure. In this, Solasta sets a bar for all other computer-style role-playing games.Ī dwarf’s strength score rises in direct proportion to the length of his beard. Some of the best interactions of the game happen when various party members begin to joke around with each other during the adventure. Solasta breaks the mold by giving player-created parties full voice acting and interesting personalities. In prior games of this type, players often had to choose between pre-made party members with voice-acted interaction or silent, player-created teammates. RPGamers will create a party of four characters who each have their own personality. While the story misses opportunities to create a memorable experience, the character interactions do not. Unfortunately, the latter half of the story feels rushed and never fully explores some intriguing premises it sets up in the first half. To make the adventure more exciting the main enemy can disguise themselves, making one question who is a friend and who is a foe. This leads to larger problems and a quest to save the people. This peace does not last, as trouble brews in one of the outposts causing the rulers to send a group to investigate as tensions rise. Many years ago, a great cataclysmic event took place and most of the races (elves, humans, dwarves, etc) of the world fled through a portal to a fresh land to begin anew. ![]() ![]() The main story driving the adventure forward feels a bit cliché. Utilizing the fifth edition ruleset, Solasta provides a refreshing experience, even while falling short in a few key areas. Solasta: Crown of the Magister addresses this shortcoming and features a full campaign set in a new world. However, very few of those games focused on a turn-based combat system. Over the years, RPGamers have received a stream of computer role-playing games featuring various versions of the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. ![]()
