Solasta as a platform for solo DnD? (lemmy.world)

So this may be a silly question. Long time ago I played D&D with friends. We had a good DM, and had a great time as a party of friends roleplaying an interesting adventure. Fast forward to now, where life, family, work and all not easily allows to currently play with a great roleplaying group.

So, looking to fill in a bit of the fun, I was looking at doing some solo RPG with FoundryVTT and the Mythic Game Engine. However, focusing more on D&D 5E mechanics in combat I discovered the game Solasta: Crown of the Magister. It looks like it provides a great environment to do some 'quick' D&D combat sessions with some light roleplaying. Also, it allows people to create their own adventures and share them. So, on paper it should tick many of the boxes of solo D&D.

Has anyone played with Solasta? What did you like from a D&D perspective? And what not?

BTW, I'm also playing BG3 (100hrs currently into the game).

I thank you for your very detailed reply.

We are all beginners in the world of tabletop, as for what we want out of the game, I think we don't have enough knowledge of what the different games out there entail to really know what we may want. I think everyone in the group is willing to learn how to play, but most won't be going as deep as me, but that's OK.

I will keep your recommendations close.
