The game itself has been out for a little while now, launching on February 22nd, 2022. We reviewed it and awarded it a score of 7/10, stating that “Sol Cresta is far from unenjoyable, but for some, it may be slightly unpalatable”. Perhaps the release of a free demo might give some players a better idea of what the game is all about.
