Silver


Silver is one of the few pc rpgs that I've enjoyed with, I think it was pretty unusual, maybe it reminded me to japanese action rpgs.

This is a real time action rpg where the player controls one character while the other characters 2 are controled by the IA. 
 The combat system is very original for me, where melee attacks are executed by doing mouse gestures like: click + foward does a thrust, click + left does a left swing that can hurt many enemies etc. There's also long range weapons and magic spells both useful depending on the situation.



I also looks beautiful, with correct 3d character models in very well done 2d pre-rendered animated backgrounds. The music goes along pretty well too.

I had relative freedom to visit places and completing quests where I could find some interesting characters, the world wasn't big but is was smartly populated that made it feel alive. I prefer a well worked small world than the usualy empty/repetitive open world games.
 I really had fun finding new spell orbs and leveling them up, new weapons and testing them, secret items, keys, etc.



The game isn't very long but it's an intense and unique experience

Did I like it? Yes.
I think you will like it if you:
- Like action rpgs
- Don't mind the mouse-gesture attacks

I rate my experience with a 8.5 out of 10.
