  • Solasta: Palace of Ice DLC Hands-On Preview Impressions - Just this week, I had the opportunity to sit down and play with Tactical Adventures while discussing their biggest DLC to date, Palace of Ice. Palace of Ice comes almost 2 years after Solasta: Crown of the Magister was released with a level cap increase from 12 (if you’ve played Lost Valley) to 16, new monsters to fight, and unique Spells to try out. So in this Solasta: Palace of Ice Hands-on Preview Impressions, I’ll be talking about these changes and how they’ll affect the way you play the game, as well as give my thoughts on how much Solasta has changed years after its launch. If you’re interested to get a glimpse of what this huge DLC has to offer, then this article is for you!

    I have recommended Solasta to many since launch; one of the most intuitive Turn Based systems I have seen in a title, and adore the 3D possibilities. And I have not had many issues with character models and VO as others, as I recall playing D&D w/ coins and paper figures. But the storytelling of the games could be better, esp in Lost Valley DLC, imo. An exciting game should never be spoiled because of the result of a Saving Throw; whether good or bad. But as this can also reflect a PnP experience, Solasta remains a less known gem for me to share with others. Looking forward to PoI.

    Going to grab this the day it drops. Just played Solasta for the first time about a week or so ago. Pretty impressive game. Yeah, the character models kinda remind me of mid-2000s BioWare games, and I wish the level cap was 20 instead of 16 but those are minor quibbles. This game deserves more love and recognition

    • @stevesargent9168

      If they cleaned up the character models/faces and voices, this game would be 10/10. Still easily one of the top rpgs out there

    First run I am going for a set of new characters to let them patch out any potential problems with importing saves before I give that a go. I am also going to go for a powerhouse party to make sure I am ready for everything for everything the game throws my way. Shadow Tamer Ranger, Motherland Paladin, Balance Druid and Court Mage+Sellsword Wizard. Once the kinks in save importing is sorted out, it's time to run a full CotM+PoI campaign.

    I personally didn't love Solasta, but I gotta say, the dev team has impressed me again and again. I never thought we'd get multiplayer, never thought we'd get multiple DLC campaigns, they've really gone above and beyond. Really the only complaint I've got is that they released an editor (the Dungeon Maker) and, like every other editor of the last 20 years, it has disappointed me. The game has a built-in character creator but we can't use that to make custom NPC appearances? We aren't even able to SEE what abilities and spells NPCs have, let alone edit them in any way. Still, credit where it's due, I never expected to get an editor in the first place. I just wish it was better.

    • @HelmuthGerka

      That's an interesting take on it and one I didn't think of. I'll be playing this first and enjoying D4 after. Plus, with all previous crap that Blizzard/Activision has been doing, I am not so eager to give them money. I'm happy to wait and see how the community receives it.

    Lost Valley DLC was pretty awful because it was just a series of tasks given to you with very little narrative connection between them. I'm hoping this is not like that and more like the base game.

      Both are good. I like that this is basically D&D copy and pasted into a game. And I enjoy the things you can do in BG3. Though with the release so close I'll probably play this AFTER BG3😂

    • @michaelengelby732
      @michaelengelby732 Před rokem +1

      The competition in this gaming genre is good and needs to be encouraged. Larian Studios is amazing and BG3 will likely be the same. But I love me some Solasta and have been playing it more often than previous Larian Studio's games. With the improvements and additions to the Dungeon Maker, this game will have very long legs. I'm anxious to see what the more dedicated community comes out with!
