Solasta is a love-letter to Dungeons and Dragons, offering the best implementation of the 5E ruleset (via SRD5.1) to-date, period. It may feature a linear, uncomplicated story, but it makes up for it by being lukewarm and a special nod to all D&D veterans. We fell in love with the slick design of UI that can claim to be the best/easiest tutorial of D&D combat out there. Considering the budget and scope, Solasta delivers 100%.

Solasta is a very good tactical RPG that offers a faithful adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons' fifth edition and a robust and satisfying combat system. It doesn't break new grounds, nor does it really try to, but Solasta succeeds at almost everything it sets up to do. If you love turn-based combat and a classic fantasy adventure there aren't many reasons not to try this game.

Excellent tactical turn-based battles with a highly adjustable difficulty level, a wonderfully implemented rule-set and convincing hero personalities.

If you’re a Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast that demands slavish adherence to licensed and familiar content, then Solasta: Crown of the Magister may disappoint you. If, on the other hand, your concept of D&D is more defined by the mechanics of character and party creation and the flow of exploration and combat defined by rolls of the dice, then Solasta will deliver a very authentic experience. It often doesn’t look pretty and it still has a few ugly bugs to iron out, but the inclusion of an excellent level creator and a superlative UI put Solasta: Crown of the Magister in the must-play column for both fans of the Fifth Edition rules and CRPGs in general.

A game that will be on the likes of those who love D&D, but that finally misses the shot with a couple of flaws and features that simply are not there. For example its narrative it's too shallow and a multiplayer mode could have been excellent, but this is an indie game. A well rounded indie RPG that isn't as big as most of the big names on the genre.

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.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister does a good job on presenting a very accurate version of the tabletop version of Dungeons and Dragons in an original setting. A couple of issues here and there won't affect your experience.
