Tabletop RPGs are never something I’ve been able to play. I’ve been interested in the likes of Dungeons & Dragons for a long time, but without a regular party to play with, I’ve had to give up the hope. But when those familiar tabletop mechanics are brought into a single-player campaign, well now you have something both deep and accessible to someone like me. Thus, we have Solasta: Crown of the Magister, a classic grid-based RPG, but reimagined in the modern era.
In true RPG style, you bring together a gang of oddballs and take jobs for people, explore dungeons, and kill a whole slew of monsters. Each character in Solasta is a different class, and just like in tabletop games, has their own special abilities. Even in dialogue, those conversational stat-checks that open up new options are split between the whole party, with your large, stoic knight boasting intimidation skills, while your nimble rogue cheekily uses guile to get through the chatter.
