Have you finished Baldur’s Gate 3 and are looking for a good alternative? Then you have the sequel to one of the best games coming up with Solasta 2. You can try it out already.
What kind of game is this? Solasta 2 is the sequel to Solasta: Crown of the Magister. The role-playing game was launched in Early Access on Steam on October 20, 2020, with the full release occurring about six months later. In the years that followed, the game received several DLCs, including new classes and story expansions like “Palace of Ice.”
At the Game Awards 2024, developer Tactical Adventures announced a sequel to Solasta: Crown of the Magister. It’s simply called Solasta 2 and while it doesn’t have a specific release date yet, there is a free demo on Steam.

What is the game about? Solasta 2 takes place several decades after the first installment. After the threat from the Sorak was eliminated, a new group of heroes travels to a distant continent. There they must face a new threat, the ancient and mysterious Shadwyn.
Sequel to a beloved role-playing game
Crown of the Magister was very well received on Steam. With the first Solasta, the developers were able to bring an excellent role-playing game to market. Out of over 17,500 reviews on Steam, 87% are positive.
The predecessor has been praised for its battles. These are turn-based and pose a real challenge. Certain enemies can also move along walls (and with the right spell, you can too), giving the game a new tactical dimension.
According to many players, Solasta also adheres more closely to the underlying rules of Dungeons and Dragons than Baldur’s Gate 3. So if you want to experience the most authentic D&D campaign as a video game, Solasta is the right choice for you.
- Rettan writes about the game on Steam: “9/10. Solasta feels like playing a good D&D campaign with your friends – just without the friends and the bad jokes. Or good jokes, depending on the group, I guess.”
