Evaluation

Ballad of Solar launched on May 22, 2014 as a self-contained time and resource management adventure game. The store description presents a fully defined package: seven magical lands, 30 levels, two game modes, and a complete cast of characters — language consistent with a finished, fixed-content product. There are no DLC listings, no season passes, and no announcements of post-launch content anywhere in the record. The developer news posts scanned are entirely unrelated to Ballad of Solar — they cover other titles (REMEDIUM: Sentinels, Tetragon, Demon Skin) published by the same publisher. There have been no communications from the developer or publisher specifically about this game since its release. With no post-launch content ever announced or delivered, the game launched as a complete product and remains so.

About this game

Guide Solar and his band of helpers as they set out to stop the dark sorcerer Grogan from achieving eternal life and to rescue the fair Lumina. As you go, you'll put your time and resource management skills to work rebuilding towns, completing quests for friends you make along the way, and stopping the enemy from striking. Told with a laugh and a wink, Ballad of Solar is a colorful, challenging and utterly unforgettable adventure for all ages!
