Quote:
What's cool about it:
Form your party from a cast of interesting and diverse characters, each with their own unique traits.
Gripping story and polished gameplay combine to make a “simple” RPG that’s still a lot of fun.
Unique combat system with real-time, fast-paced action--you assume direct control over one of the characters, and the rest of your team fights on their own.
Overview:
Silver, a corrupt and sinister sorcerer, rules the land of Jarrah with an iron fist. He and his henchmen have abducted the village women as part of a pact with the almighty god, Apocalypse. Now, only one man can put a stop to Silver and his minions. That man is you, David, a promising young knight whose wife is among the captured. In order to succeed you'll need to recruit allies, master your swordplay, learn the art of magic, and venture through hostile worlds teeming with Silver's corrupt followers to find 8 lost artifacts. Begin your quest, and become a hero!

Silver is the European answer to JRPGs, which were very popular at the time. With eye-candy in the form of pre-rendered 2D backgrounds, manga-inspired character design, and console-style gameplay, it introduced PC gamers to a new genre. This game is very unique on PC as there are only a few such titles on this platform, so if you feel like trying a different approach to role-playing, then this is a title for you!


and its only like $6

The fighting system in this game is one of a kind. Kinda like Die by the word had it´s on way to control your weapon.

Played it years ago, got to the Werewolf encounter where it would always crash so I never completed it. Razz
(I think from what I remember it was a really fun game.)

Yea it was, but I couldn't finish it either. It was such a pain to run it on XP and it was full of gamestopping bugs and compatibility problems. Does GOG version fix this?

Funny thing: open the silver.exe file in notepad or something and search for David to find out about David's sexuality (maybe)

Well they couldn't do a remaster because they'd have to essentially re-create the art of the game from scratch but there are still a number of updates in there. Smile

Uses OpenGL now (And OGG for sound.) and has a couple of fixes here and there. Smile
(Still maintains a 4:3 aspect ratio though.)
