A party-based RPG by indie studio Tactical Adventures, based on the [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons]] 5th edition ruleset.

Long ago, the world of Solasta was - somewhat literally - turned upside-down by the arrival of a strange new race called "humans" through an interplanar rift. The rift had the side effect of destroying the high elven [[TheEmpire Manacalon Empire]], the survivors of which were forced to team up with their new human neighbours to patch reality back together. Many years later, the former heartland of the Empire remains a desolate waste known as the Badlands: a place where ancient treasures are just waiting to be picked up, if you can get past the various natural and supernatural hazards found throughout.

Gameplay-wise, ''Solasta'' sticks very faithfully to the 5th edition D&D rules, although not all of the usual character classes and races are represented. It even pays atttention to some details that are often overlooked, such as languages, food rations and lighting levels. The ability to climb and jump around in multi-layered environments is also a key feature.

* CunningLinguist: Each member of the player's party knows a number of languages dependent on their race and background. An elf with the academic or philosopher background can start out knowing most of the languanges that are used in game.

* ShoutOut: You can find a [[DropTheHammer Dwarven Thrower]] in the game, but it can't be used as a weapon. The flavor text implies [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor you may simply be]] [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield not worhy]].

* [[AllianceMeter Alliance Meter]]: The party can increase their standing with several different factions in order to get access to a better range of magic items.
* [[AncientArtifact Ancient Artifact]]: The Crown of the Magister itself.
* [[AntiFrustrationFeatures Anti-Frustration Features]]: The game bypasses the need to carry a lot of [[VendorTrash Vendor Trash]] around with the Guild of Scavengers, who will scour any area you have previously explored and sell off whatever loot you left behind for you. They'll even give you a second chance to claim any scavenged item before it's sold.
* [[CataclysmBackstory Cataclysm Backstory]]: The rifts that brought humans to Solasta did a lot of damage.
* [[ClingyMacGuffin Clingy MacGuffin]]: [[spoiler:The member of your party who picks up the Crown of the Magister will find it hard to let go of.]]
* [[CoolGate Cool Gate]]: Manacalon Major Gates are found in various places for quick travel around the Badlands.
* [[CunningLinguist Cunning Linguist]]: Each member of the player's party knows a number of languages dependent on their race and background. An elf with the academic or philosopher background can start out knowing most of the languanges that are used in game.
* [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarker]]: One member of your party will usually have this role, depending on the personality tags you pick.
* [[TheEmpire The Empire]]: The Manacalon Empire was powerful and authoritarian, and most people seem quite happy that it didn't survive the rift incident. The people who miss it are mostly members of its successor, the New Empire, which is significantly less powerful.
* [[FantasyPantheon Fantasy Pantheon]]: Solasta didn't have any gods originally; they arrived at the same time humans did.

* [[HubCity Hub City]]: Caer Cyflen is the headquarters of the Legacy Council in the Badlands, so you report back there a lot.
* [[ItemCrafting Item Crafting]]: You can find recipes and components that your party can use to craft various magic items during travel time.
* [[JustifiedTutorial Justified Tutorial]]: The four party members [[YouAllMeetInAnInn meet at the Gravekeep's Cask inn]] and each tells a story about their journey there, which is played out to take the player through the basics of gameplay.
* [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Our Vampires Are Different]]: Vampire-like creatures appear but are never referred to as "vampires", instead using names like "defiler" or "brood of blood". Unlike many versions of a vampire they are equally [[WeakenedByTheLight harmed by all forms of bright light]], not just sunlight.
* [[SceneryGorn Scenery Gorn]]: The rifts left entire ancient buildings fused oddly into the landscape, sometimes parallel to ground level.
* [[ShapeShifting Shape Shifting]]: [[spoiler:The Sorr-Akkath use this to infiltrate other societies.]]
* [[WallCrawl Wall Crawl]]: The Spider Climb spell and certain magic items can allow this. [[spoiler:The Sorr-Akkath can do it too.]]
* [[YouAllMeetInAnInn You All Meet In An Inn]]: It's left a little ambiguous whether your party members are meeting for the first time this way, or whether they know each other already.

* [[SceneryGorn Scenery Gorn]]: The rifts left entire ancient buildings fused oddly into the landscape, sometimes perpendicular to ground level.

* [[CharacterAlignment Character Alignment]]: Played with. There's a standard D&D alignment chart on the character creation screen, but it's only used to choose some of your characters' personality tags; you never pick an alignment as such.
