‘Solasta: Crown of the Magister’ – Palace Of Ice Is High-Level D&D At Its Finest
Solasta: Crown of the Magister’s new expansion Palace of Ice hits all the right high-level D&D notes. Available now on Steam.
High-level D&D play is about as rare as unicorns, and just as loosely affiliated to polyamory because if you’ve found a group willing to take the time, effort, and communication to sync up schedules to get your game to the point where you’re 10th-16th level on a regular basis, you’re basically already in a polycule.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister‘s new expansion Palace of Ice does most of that work for you with a brand new, high-level campaign that takes players to the upper echelons of D&D (all the way to 16th level) without needing to break out the excel spreadsheet to sort out play times.
Solasta: Palace of Ice – So THAT’s What High-Level Fights Should Be Like
Although the heroes of Caer Cyflen managed to prevent the Soraks’ attempt at reopening the Rift to unleash their foul god upon Solasta, the threat is far from over. With the Kingdom of Gallivan suddenly declaring war on their neighbours, there is little doubt that these insidious foes have agents everywhere – and that they always had contingency plans well prepared.
The Palace of Ice DLC is a high level 10 to 16 campaign that will take your party into the frozen lands of the Snow Alliance. The allies of Caer Cyflen need your help now more than ever, for Soraks are not the only foes that have been sighted lately. Other ancestral creatures have joined the battle, and there is little hope for victory without experienced adventurers to face them.
Palace of Ice continues the main campaign from Crown of the Magister, and, in fact, you’ll need the original game in order to play this one. But that’s fine because CotM is one of the best 5E D&D games out there. And Palace of Ice is set to continue that into the higher tiers of play.
You get so much more than just a new campaign though. The DLC adds Tieflings and Gnomes to the game, as well as some supremely deadly encounters. If you want to see what a tactical challenge feels like at higher levels, this is the game for you.
It’s also got four-player co-op, so you can play with your friends. And the expansion adds a ton of tools to the Dungeon Maker (which lets you craft 3D dungeons you and your friends can play through). Including:
- Four new environments: Mountain Caves, Dwarven City, Dwarven Settlement, Snowy Hills
- New monster
- New World Map System: Using this, you can place your locations on any of the three existing World Maps from the campaigns, linking locations together with random encounters during travel and everything
- New NPC Follower System: Create NPC sidekicks who can join the party
A new hotfix just rolled out, so now’s a great time to dive right in!
