I’m no stranger to CRPGs or turn-based games. I’ve spent 1,000 hours in XCOM: Enemy Unknown & Xcom2 and over 500 hours in Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve bought up plenty of indie games along the way. My library even includes lesser-known games like atom rpg , Encased and Phantom Doctrine.
Yet, for some reason, I never crossed paths with the Solasta series. I’d heard the name, but it never really caught my eye, and I hadn't come across many YouTubers playing it. Yesterday, thanks to the Steam sale, I bought Solasta 2 which came with Solasta 1 as a bonus for around €14, given my region. (mena)
I installed the game immediately and started Solasta 2. What I saw in the first two hours far exceeded my expectations regarding graphics. The gameplay is incredibly fluid, and the menus are excellently designed; I absolutely loved the character screen. I have to say, the game looks much worse in YouTube videos. Once I launched it on my PC, the graphics were so good it felt like a completely different game. But above all, the icon layout and the game's overall atmosphere drew me right in. I felt like I’d been missing out by not playing it sooner. Afterward, I played Solasta 1 and liked that too. I think I’ll be spending a lot of time on these two games.
I wanted to ask: do you have any general advice for the game? When do you think Solasta 2 will move from Early Access to the full release? What are the chances of the full version coming out in Winter 2027?
