Solasta Solasta II - Journey to the Lands of Neokos in the Unreal Engine - coming to Early Access - Demo available

Played the demo. I'm kind of worried.


Vertical levels are gone? It was one of the selling points.
And what's up with all that snazzy cinematic presentation? Nobody plays Solasta for this crap.
The entrance of the generic evil witch will never be as exciting, as the first time you see a Sorak priest using Flight.

There was still a fair bit of climbing and jumping in it.

Okay, maybe I'm overreacting.
It feels less "blocky" so I just assume it might mean less verticality.

I don't think verticality added much in the original and iirc the devs have said switching to Unreal meant they'll have to sacrifice some things, so I'm putting two and two together and I'm gonna say that verticality in the sense of spider climb is out. Maybe flying/levitating is still in, I don't see why they wouldn't be.

Are all your opinions retarded or just the ones you share in D&D adjacent RPG threads?

Bro, it is probably the most revolutionary feature of the last decade (maybe two). It may not have been utilized as much as it could (and should) have been, but that's not the same thing as "not adding much".
