With the Lost Valley DLC for Solasta: Crown of the Magister now available for purchase, you might be interested in reading about all the new features and content it has to offer. If that's the case, you'll find several reviews and a couple of impressions articles below:
Turn Based Lovers 6/10:
I can’t recommend Solasta: Lost Valley to everyone. Still, there may be a fair number of Solasta fans who’ll like what it offers. Whether you are replaying the main story or enjoying some custom levels, having access to the additional subclasses will add some interesting variety to the characters. The campaign, however, is mostly for those who’d like more Solasta content, even if it’s not quite as strong as in the original.
TechRaptor 5/10:
Lost Valley brings with it a new campaign, subclass options, and enhancements to the Dungeon Maker system. While there's a lot of content within the campaign, the fetch quest style progression didn't offer much in terms of a grand adventure, instead leaving players feeling like they're completing a list of chores.
IGN Italy 7/10 [Google Translated]:
Lost Valley gave the developers of Tactical Adventures the opportunity to experiment with some new ideas and game mechanics, in some cases with interesting results and in others by bringing out some problems, especially on the mission front, which would have deserved greater attention. . There is still a lot to appreciate in the DLC, in quantitative terms thanks to the over 20 hours of new content but not only, and the new adventure can still offer the rather interesting exploration and above all the excellent tactical fights that have characterized the role-playing game. of 2021.
Fextralife Impressions:
Since some of the quest lines are shorter, you’ll be spending less time in specific areas. Not only does it increase the pace of Solasta but it also allows you to visit a multitude of new and refreshing environments. You’ll also be interacting with the environment frequently. For instance, you’ll have to hit the trunk of a leafless tree with a ranged spell to topple it over. This will then be used by the party to cross rivers. There are a lot of these types of puzzles that show how far the developers have come to create a far more authentic experience overall.
With these surroundings come new creatures to face. They range from Giants whom you have to communicate with to Trolls who will attempt to impede your progress. There’s no shortage of monsters to take down, however, the question is, do you have what it takes to slaughter them all?
PCGamesN Impressions:
If you’ve been waiting to drop into Solasta, then now is the perfect time to make the jump. Multiplayer makes the prospect of tackling the tricky main campaign a lot less intimidating, and getting groups together to play around in community created adventures is a great game night activity. For those already invested and looking for more, the open-ended structure of the Lost Valley campaign lets you plumb the depths of your spellbook to find solutions that feel truly unique, imbuing the dungeon crawling experience of the main game with the creativity encouraged by its tabletop inspiration.
