Tales of Solaria · Act 2.5
The pirates used to wave at Frontier ships. Now they fire on them, and every kingdom on the coast is building a fleet. Grand Elder Alara sends two of her own to find out why: Chili, who can talk to anyone, and Shadow Cloak, who notices everything.
The Pirate Captain's mode is a work in progress and will arrive in a later update.
Set how many players under Options on the title screen. When the story starts, everyone picks a character with their own keys: Chili, Shadow Cloak, and with three players Cadet Jory, the healer who fights and plays the minigames but never talks. No doubles. Player 1: WASD, F attack and talk, G roll, R skill. Player 2: arrows, Enter, right Shift, right Ctrl. Player 3: IJKL, U attack, O roll, Y skill, N eat. Controllers take the last seats. The lead takes the whole party through doors; a teammate can pop into a small room (a shop, a shack, the bunkhouse) alone by pressing attack at its door. It shows in a window in the corner; hold swap or walk out to come back. Walk up to someone and press attack to talk as yourself; only you can move that conversation on. Hold swap (Q, backslash or B) to jump back beside the lead.
Choose Online on the title screen. The host picks two or three players and gets a five-letter code; friends choose Join and type it in. Once everyone is in, each player picks their character. The host's game runs on their computer and friends see it live, on a computer or a phone. Online games keep their own save, separate from your offline one. Hosting needs a keyboard or controller.
Darts, blackjack, dice and the mug slide, against any friend you have made. Darts: arrows aim, hold X to steady your breath, Z to throw.
Ship, Captain & Crew: Z rolls. Find a 6, then a 5, then a 4. The last two dice are your cargo; X keeps them, Z rolls them again. Three rolls a turn.
Mug Slide: Z stops the power bar. Stop the mug close to the edge of the bar. Over the edge scores nothing. Esc leaves any table.
