A classic game from everyone's childhood that deserves ALL the praise it can get !! Remaster when ?? :) .

Sept. 2024

Shame on you Steam. Its full of bugs, incomplete (rain dungeon not available, glass palace unavailable, special attacks not available) and this is just after 4 hours of game play. I finished the game back in '99 but now it just feels like Steam robbed me of one of the best games from my childhood. Game is awesome, but not this version that Steam sells.

July 2024

This is one of the games that basically forged my primal gaming experience. Next to age of empries and Starcraft, this was the first PC game I ever owned and played. THE IMPORTANT BIT FIRST: I highly recommend playing this game in PCem. https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/ Its a free software that emulates old hardware. You can build an old pentium III machine with voodoo graphics or the like inside this virtual machine. WHY do I recommend this? Silver has been hit by fate. For some reason, during its lifetime, its source code which was written in freakin KOBOL was lost. Why is this important? It means that the old sourcecode cant be compiled anew for modern CPUs. It means that the game will forever be incompatible with modern systems. The only thing that can be done is trying to build workarounds, integrating the old compiled code into new adapter-code that somehow makes it executable on modern systems. This has its drawbacks though. It can easily lead to glitches in sound or graphics, it can cause crashes, and the intro, which is 5+ minutes long and very atmospheric, becomes a mess. ABOUT THE GAME (If played like it was meant to be): It is very atmospheric. Ive played it with german localization ever since (If you want to play it in german you either have to look for a german version online or find soundfiles online). Your protagonist has the synchro of nicolas cage in german ;) Of course nostalgia plays a huge role (for me), but the game IMHO aesthetically stands the test of time. The fixed angle on 3D pre-rendered backgrounds enabled the devs to create visually astounding setpieces that still impress (me) with they very own charmes. There really is nothing comparable to it, nothing I would know of at least. People sometimes compare it to older Final Fantasy games, Ive never played those, so I cant say. The levels/setpieces and music are a match made in heaven. Again, maybe its nostalgia, but I think that the game has a gorgeous soundtrack that works perfectly in tandem with the visuals. I remember that even back then, I sometimes started up the game and went to certain locations just to breathe in the gesamtkunstwerk. The gameplay was unique and probably is to this day. You have to try it out yourself to understand it. Its probably not as smooth and streamlined as modern games, but it was pretty intuitive and for most of the game was very playable (It was 2000 when I first played it and I had to make do with one of those mechanical mouses ^^ still worked, but it was hard!). I wish there were still games these days that were made this way. Back then it was due to technological limitations that one chose this type of presentation and the according game mechanics. But it created aesthetics and gameplay that were very enjoyable and maybe would be even more so today with modern means. Its like with old point and click adventures that had their backgrounds drawn by 2D artists. They were true art with some animation for the gameplay. Silver is comparable to these old adventure games. With the difference being that Silver was ONE of a kind. There are multiple adventure games from that age, but theres only ONE Silver.

It's great this game made a comeback, but please if you can restore the loading screen and the credit screen with the character artwork as per the retail physical version back in the 90s.

Silver is an old-school action role-playing game from the late 90s. It is set in the captivating medieval fantasy world of Jarrah. You take on the role of David, a young and valiant hero on a quest to rescue his kidnapped wife from the hands of the evil sorcerer Silver. The narrative presents a world divided between Silver's tyranny and pockets of resistance, establishing the classic battle of good versus evil. The game strikes the perfect balance between story progression, combat, and exploration. It ensures an enticing pace from beginning to end without overstaying its welcome. Despite the dated graphics, the combination of polygonal 3D characters against pre-rendered 2D backgrounds remains visually captivating. Each location in the game presents its unique allure and challenges, with detailed designed landscapes, that range from the verdant forests of Verdante to the rain-drenched streets of Rain and the frigid expanses of Winter. On your journey you encounter a wide array of different NPCs, each with unique stories, quests and motivations. Accompanying you are a group of five companions, each contributing their own strengths and weaknesses to the journey. While you can efficiently control only one character at a time, up to two additional AI-controlled companions can join you, while the remainder stays in your base camp. Your rescue mission is intertwined with a quest to collect eight magical orbs, each tied to an elemental force such as fire, ice, light, and earth etc. These orbs are thoughtfully placed in thematic locations, and obtaining them requires facing challenging boss fights. Moreover, the magic orbs serve not only as ornaments but also as tools to interact with the world and enhance your combat abilities. Exploration is further enriched by the discovery of numerous weapons, shields, and magic-infused gear hidden in remote corners, adding excitement and depth to your journey. The control system is intuitive, avoiding typical point-and-click mechanics for a more elaborate combat system. By holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse in various directions, you can execute different types of attacks, making combat fluid and engaging. As you progress, you unlock more combat techniques, including combos and spells. Despite its linear progression, the game cleverly conveys a sense of freedom by allowing revisits to locations and implementing a fast travel system via a map. The story subtly guides you in the right direction, masking the linearity and enhancing the overall experience. The music deserves a special mention, as it complements the game's atmosphere perfectly, contributing to its immersive quality. Silver also truly shines in its voice acting, managing to convey the grandeur of the game's world and characters, despite occasional cheesiness. Each NPC is brought to life with remarkable character and depth. Personally, I find the German voice acting to be superior to the English version. Despite being playable on newer systems, Silver is not without its flaws. Occasional glitches and bugs, particularly crashes before save points, can be frustrating. Moreover, modern systems have affected one specific timing-based puzzle, transforming it into a considerable challenge (the bell puzzle).
