If you want to play this like any other similar RPG you can, without any more understanding of the dice system than higher usually equals better. There are several difficulty levels that allow you to focus more on the story or to get really into the tabletop rules should you choose. I was immediately concerned that my enjoyment of Solasta was going to be dependant on my understanding of these various factors and how they interact with each other, but it does a solid job of allowing you to control the complexity and involvement you have with this system. The dice are built into the game and auto rolled, with the end result (alongside other factors like your characters various skills) dictating the outcome of what you are attempting. Tabletop games rely heavily on the roll of various dice to calculate the likelihood that something will or won’t happen, and Solasta is no different. ![]() If like me, the previous sentence means very little to you, I will try to break down what it means in the simplest form. Solasta uses the Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.1 ruleset, and from reading other reviews it is a very faithful reproduction of the system. I want to make clear that whilst I have always been interested in tabletop RPG’s, it’s a rabbit hole that I have not yet ventured down, so please forgive any errors or oversimplifications of a craft that I know can take some time to master. I think it’s fair to say that this game is aimed solidly at lovers of Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop pen and paper RPG’s, but us mere mortals will find a lot to love too. Since were on a buget lets give them 2 m2 of living space to them that will be a rent of 20K by year so 60K ,quite possibly some of it in my pockets.Add to that various insurances and diverses bills.Īs you can see if you cut massively their wages and park them in small cubicles, feed them daily with nutritious sludges, they are just making it even.Solasta is a squad based tactical RPG with turn based combat that recently levelled up from early access to full 1.0 release. ĥ00 euro/M2 by year, so we need to estimate the living space for myrzym and his friends. So we cant pay them as senior developpers, and there's stil the rent for the office. Wait no ! in this case they are losing money. So hard to tell how much those 20 people cost. Myrzym posting on the codex more likely 78000. 20 people, A senior developper will cost 104000 euros by year with taxes. Ħ187 500 euros left to pay everyone and the rent. Around 458k units solds according vginsight, 11 millions $ gross revenues, steam take 25% of that already 8250000 only left, now the tax office takes another 25% 2062500 more lost. We will never get answers on this but i think they are just doing barely even. Although I haven't played the new additions myself, I get the impression that between those and the userbase that makes their own custom campaigns and scenarios that both the studio and the game both are doing quite well. The game's been receiving a handful of new campaigns and classes since then. ![]() Instead of getting outclassed it ended up having features like light and darkness, mid-dialogue character selection, a functional reaction system and an implementation of verticality and flying that ended up putting a game with a multimillion budget and staff behind it to shame. Given the nature of the game and the time frame in which it was released it was bound to be hiding in the shadow of the much larger Baldur's Gate 3. When I played it at its release I thought it essentially just was a satisfying 5e combat simulator with little to no replayability due to the linear nature of the campaign and the low amount of classes (at the time). I, for one, am glad that the game as well as the developers seem to be doing well. No surprise your first version was much liked, the 4 man version is thoroughly enjoyable, the 6 one that's another story. ![]() Then the captain is now hp bloated with a weapon preventing party members to heal(and you dont even loot that weapon).Īll of that just for 2 exra members ! I think you should change the module description and warn people its for masochistic players with a very optimized party. In the 6 man version you doubled the number of enemies, some as i said spawn out of thin air at range, which makes much harder to use control spell, they are using sleeping arrows, and are backed by veterans with three attack by round, one failed save against those arrows and its over already, the veterans will close in very fast and land 3 attacks with advantage. I find them MUCH different, in the 4 man version the bandit captain fight is completely doable, a few goons with him in the same room you can manage it much more easily, one control spell in room you can do them one by one mostly and their stats are reasonable.
