Solasta Game Information

Roll for initiative, take attacks of opportunity, manage player location, and the verticality of the battlefield. Set yourself up for the finishing strike and possibly roll a natural 20 at that key moment of battle.​ In Solasta, you take control of four heroes, each with unique skills that complement one another. Every hero expresses themselves in the adventure, making each action and dialog choice a dynamic part of the story. Players will create their heroes just as they would in a pen-and-paper game by choosing their race, class, personality, and rolling for their stats.​ You make the choices, dice decide your destiny.

Solasta Key Features

• An Epic Team Adventure: Create your very own party of adventurers with our Character Creation Tool in the classic tabletop RPG tradition. Breathe life into your heroes, and see their personalities reflected in their dialogue. Tailor your squad to your preferred strategy and maximize your party's abilities. The choice is yours.
• Discover a Mysterious & Dynamic World: Delve into long-forgotten dungeons to unearth ancient artifacts, but stay watchful of light and darkness: many dangers hide in the dark, but a light can attract monsters. Some enemies have darkvision, some may flee from your torch... Successful adventurers will learn to use it to their advantage.
• Prepare to Think in Three Dimensions: The dungeons in Solasta are more than flat game-boards. Climb, jump, or fly around obstacles. Evade or surprise foes from above or below. Push them into chasms or drop things on their heads. Position yourself on high grounds to start the fight with an advantage.
• True to the Tabletop: Wizards of the Coast granted Tactical Adventures a license to use the Dungeons and Dragons SRD 5.1 Ruleset, furthering our vision of making the most faithful video game adaptation with the Tabletop Ruleset!

Not all Manacalon lords heeded the call to arms when the Rift opened – some chose to stay behind to protect imperial secrets, some others simply wanted to save their own skin. What none expected however was the sheer magnitude of the Cataclysm. Even small isolated enclaves were left in tatters and yet somehow, someway, the old Manacalon ways survived in the Valley of the Dominion. Forgotten by all, the rare visitors only stumbled upon it by accident… and have never been able to leave.

Combat Tips & Tricks in Solasta

Combat in Solasta is done turn by turn for each character and requires strategy and constant tactical positioning into order to deal successful attacks. Basics start with moving each character while observing the environment. Each character will be presented with a set of available Actions that will be affected by your positioning and surroundings. While engaged in combat, a grid will appear indicating how many spaces are around the area. Move towards or away from any enemy or objects during your turn. Each character can also move towards cover if needed.  After completing each chacters turn, anticipate a turn from each enemy character in the area as well.

While in combat, your available actions will be displayed. These appear as attacks, dash, dodge, disengage, shove and can depend on each chacaters skills and abilities. Available Spells will also be displayed here if there is a mage within the party. 

If anticipating a negative response, or players may consider Disengaging to avoid taking damage. Disengage uses your main action, though, so you won't be able to attack or Dash during this turn. To attack an enemy using your default weapon, mouse over them and left-click. You can also cast an attack spell or switch weapon configurations and use another weapon - a ranged one, for example. Depending on the character, some special abilities are also available to use.

Whenever a creature moves out of reach of an enemy that can see it, that enemy can use their reaction to perform a melee attack. Of course, you can use opportunity attacks too. Always be careful when you're within melee range of an enemy - you can't just walk away!

Clicking Dodge uses your main action and provides the following benefits: Until the start of your next turn, all attackers you can see have disadvantage on their rolls to hit, and you have an advantage on Dexterity saving throws.

The main abilities to take note of in Solasta are Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma. These affect your stamina, reflexes and interactions around each character. Each party can have a character with different strengths.

While trekking through the Locations of Solasta, players may want to consider approaching dim areas with caution or with stealth to gain insight and advantage before engaging in combat. Activating Cautious mode makes you slower, but it grants two benefits: hidden objects and traps are easier to find, and you are harder for enemies to spot. Approaching with Stealth can also give the opportunity to begin with a Surprise attack or a Sneak Attack which will give your character an advantage on the roll to it. 

Quests in Solasta

Quests in Solasta were created to encourage exploration of each location, unlocking new locations and sights, and meeting new NPCs along the way. The base game quests were sorted into two main types of quests. Main Quests and Secondary Quests. Main Quests for the main storyline were sorted into acts that act like chapters for the storyline. The initial introduction quests were made in order to introduce players to the game mechanics, features, items and actions, taking each character into different scenarios where each feature must be applied in the situation in order to progress. This includes basic mechanics, and introduces players to the Journal. Basic tutorial prompts will also pop up during this stage such as how to light dim areas with torches, how to locate highlighted points of interest and interact with it, looting, and basic battle information. The Main Story really begins once you reach the Legacy Council. 

Secondary Quests were also created to add additional mini stories players can participate in in order to obtain additional rewards and gain experience. Interact with NPCs you come across and look out for any highlighted objects to make sure you don't miss a Secondary Quest. Some of these Secondary Quets must be completed in order to unlock new ones. Others occur as standalone quests. There are also specific type of secondary quests that are unique to each Background. These are unique to each background found during Character creation. A Background type like the Lowlife or Acolyte will have their own quest to complete encouraging players to explore different builds and play as different Classes and backgrounds, and adding more experiences to the game play.

Character Creation in Solasta

Starting from the beginning, Solasta provides a number of Classes, Subclasses, Races and Backgrounds to choose from, giving players the freedom to create or recreate builds to optimize their combat and party experiences. Since this game was built to be enjoyed either solo or as a party, player can have the freedom to create their own party and choose the races and classes for each member. On Solasta, fans of D&D can officially have a visual representation of their party and modify them to their liking. During the first stages of the game players can determine their Races and Subraces which will affect specific buffs and effects exclusive to each race, they can then also choose their Background and Class. As a community game, sharing builds and party combinations are encouraged so create the best gaming experience. Players may find or feel free to share their party or character builds here. 

Solasta Key Features

Traveling is done from the map. Unlike regular fast travel you can view the characgter's route as they gather food have a chance to encounter different occurrences and interactions. This can be adjusted from the main travel page where it will display approximately how long the journey to the selected destination will take a the selected pace. These Travel settings can be modified to decide when the travel route is Interupted for you to make additional actions. 

When traveling, A slow pace lets you move cautiously, trying to remain hidden from monsters. A normal pace is faster but riskier. A fast pace is the quickest of them all but can be dangerous. Rangers will be very useful while in their preferred terrain. You will find more food and are less likely to be surprised by enemies.

Interactive Features include casting Magic Spells and Preparing them. Some Classes may already have tha ability to cast spells. Many spellcasters know more spells than they can recall at any given time. Prepared spells represent those a character can use by spending spell slots. Available Spells for your character during combat may be found and casted from the action bar during the character's turn.  Check your heroes' list of known spells and choose which ones you want to prepare. Spells that are not prepared cannot be cast. Many characters know more spells than they can prepare, so choose carefully.

Spells are not only beneficial during combat, but can be used to enter hard to reach areas, light dim areas of identify magic items. Character can jump, ascend to reach hidden chests that may contain magic item. These items can be identified to reveal their properties, which will make it beneficial to have a character who can cast this spell. Otherwise, it can be done for a fee in most shops. 

Crafting is also a feature done to obtain different objects that can be used for combat and adventures. Most notable items that can be crafted are usually Potions, Scrolls, Poisons and Enchanted Equipment which may require specific tools in order to successfully craft the item. Crafting more will allow character to become Proficient with certain Crafting Tools.  You'll need specific Skills to make successive checks against the recipe's DC.
