Tags: Mathieu Girard; Solasta: Crown of the Magister; Tactical AdventuresThere are a lot of promising RPGs in development these days, but right now the one that has the Codex most excited is Solasta: Crown of the Magister, the 5th Edition OGL-based RPG from Paris-based studio Tactical Adventures. Since Solasta was announced back in June, Tactical Adventures have published a number of meaty development updates on the game's official website, and two weeks ago they announced that the Kickstarter was set to launch today, along with a free pre-alpha demo. The Kickstarter campaign is live now. I'll post the pitch video along with a 55 minute gameplay video from IGN, whose editors got an early look at the Solasta demo and found it to be extremely good. You should also check out the gameplay and lore trailers Tactical Adventures published yesterday.
Created and written by lifelong fans of Pen & Paper RPGs, Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a Turn-Based Tactical RPG heavily influenced by Tabletop RPGs.
Tactical Adventures are looking to raise €180k for Solasta, an ambitious sum nowadays, although it will get made no matter what. Right now you can secure a copy of the game for just €18. We're told that the developers haven't decided yet whether to do an Early Access release so there are no alpha or beta tiers, but you get three exclusive in-game items if you pledge €58 or more. As for the demo, it's available free for everyone on the game's Steam page. The estimated final release date for Solasta is January 2021.
