Position yourself on high grounds to start the fight with an advantage. Push them into chasms or drop things on their heads. Evade or surprise foes from above or below. The dungeons in Solasta are more than flat game-boards. Walls and columns can be pushed over - on top of your foes, if you do it right. Bridges can collapse, leaving enemies stranded and vulnerable. Solasta's dynamic environment offers some interesting tactical options. Fight monsters in squad-level, turn-based, tactical combat. Successful adventurers will learn to use it to their advantage. Some enemies have darkvision, some may flee from your torch. 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.

On Series X/S the game is aiming to run at 60fps, and with how smooth it looked on Xbox One I’m inclined to believe the team will manage it. The game looks to run really well too, and it’s worth mentioning that the stream I watched was being played on Xbox One. Ability icons you’ll be selecting are much bigger, radial menus and handy tooltips look to make the experience much more manageable.
#SOLASTA CROWN OF THE MAGISTER LOGO PC#
A lot of time and effort has gone into making changes to a PC strategy game playable with a controller, and it shows. I was lucky enough to watch the console version of Solasta played by developer Tactical Adventures recently, and was really impressed.
Xbox owners can experience this fantastic D&D tactics game soon, as Solasta: Crown of the Magister arrives on console and Game Pass tomorrow.
As somebody who hadn’t played D&D before but always wanted to, it provided the perfect outlet for my dice rolling urges. With strategy D&D gameplay and an enthralling fantasy story, Solasta: Crown of the Magister came out on PC last year and stole my heart.
