Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a tactical RPG uses rules of Dungeons & Dragons 5e to work. It is a role-playing game with an interesting campaign and very diverse characters, although scarce considering it only uses half of the dnd 5e player manual. Graphically it is not any wonder, although it has very beautiful places and in general it looks quite good. The biggest problem would be that it is not in Spanish. Fully recommended for a role player or tactical RPG lovers.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister tries to be the most authentic D&D adaptation in the video game form and it achieves that in spades. The whole thing may seem a little bit on the cliché and conservative side of RPG design but all the parts have been put together in such a good way that this adventure becomes quite thrilling to go through.

Solasta is a fantastic D&D experience and I recommend all fans of the 5th edition to give it a shot. Though it may not impress visually, the gameplay will captivate fans especially since the developers enhanced it in a very imaginative way. If you're looking for a bit more D&D in your life, this is the way.

So overall, Solasta: Crown of the Magister does an excellent job at bringing a tabletop experience over to the digital realm. While it may not be perfect, that’s more of a detail as it’s still being worked on with new features to come down the line such as the Dungeon Maker and a Sorcerer class to add to the already existing six available. Will more come? That’s to see down the line but for now? Solasta offers hours of brilliant tabletop goodness all from the comfort of your chair.
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 faithfully recreates much of the experience of a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure with a focus on satisfying combat.
For all its flaws, Solasta: Crown of the Magister is still a wonderful take on a D&D style game
Solasta: Crown of the Magister overall is a quite fun experience that makes sure players can enjoy every aspect of a D&D campaign without needing previous knowledge. I wouldn't say it's the most groundbreaking execution, but I do feel this game is a perfect start for someone interested in any campaign where they can just be a half-elf ready to shoot people down. It's a fun journey for you to enter the universe of D&D and more accessible to most than the old ways of gathering around a table with pen and paper.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister is undoubtedly a love letter to a traditional Dungeons & Dragons tabletop experience. While I’m glad that the game is finally available across all modern platforms, minus the Switch, this game is probably much better enjoyed on PC via Steam than PlayStation 5. The mediocre performance, lack of accessibility features such as increasing text size, and the absence of cross-platform play and local co-op makes the PS5 version a hard recommendation.
D&D fans would appreciate Solasta: Crown of the Magister, but things that work great on paper may not be so good in a single player videogame.

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.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister leaves me conflicted; as a long time Dungeons & Dragons fan, I think it's an absolute blast and I love how faithful and accurate everything is to the tabletop experience. But limited customization options, a poor story, and unpolished character graphics keeps me from loving this game as much as I want to.
Even with all its still perfectible aspects, Solasta is wisely crafted when it comes to fights and character building.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is filled with engaging and immersive adventures that are bound to keep you up all night. Whether you're new to D&D 5E or not, you'll want to immediately get your hands on this one. It is hands down one of the most faithful D&D adaptations out there, and one that will surely continue to endure in the years to come. For 39.99, it's hard to ask for much more.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister seeks to give players the closest D&D 5e experience they can get without picking up any dice. While there are a number of bugs and glitches to work trough Solasta delivers a fun and challenging experience.
Dungeons and Dragons fans and CRPG veterans are going to love this game. Delving into forgotten dungeons with a cast of custom heroes who rely on well-planned character builds and combat scenarios is admittedly not ground-breaking. However, licensing the official tabletop ruleset and translating it so well into a video game will pique many people’s interest and pull them in for the long haul. Undoubtedly, parts of the mechanics need further explanation and plenty of bugs need addressing. Regardless, it’s amazing the depth and quality this indie studio has ardently delivered. Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a sure critical hit.
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.
