Also, this game gets a lot of updates, from bug fixes to new features which to me is a very strong indication of the developer's continued interest in supporting this game. undeadcow Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2010 9,493 2 36 Houston, TX #4 undeadcow, May 2, 2013 It's a shame to see SilverSword drop to $0.99 especially with the huge (free) expansion content update; it's a steal at this price.

Pocketnova Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2012 2,346 0 0 #8 Pocketnova, May 2, 2013 Indeed! I am getting used to the controls, but it is already a really solid RPG!

If you are not such a fan, I advocate you watch any Youtube video of The Bard's Tale I, II or III to have an idea what you will be getting into. Not your current kind of Mass Effect RPG, but a homage to old skool RPG... Caveat: I had bought Silversword some time ago. ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #11 ojtitus, May 2, 2013 Yeah, if you enjoy old school computer rpg's like wizardry or bards tale this is an amazing deal for a dollar. I paid full price and thought that was a steal, so hop on board for a dollar and enjoy the ride. mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #12 mrbiggles, May 2, 2013 great was on my wishlist.... time use some GE credits! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Isilel Well-Known Member Feb 20, 2009 996 0 0 #13 Isilel, May 2, 2013 I loved Wizardry 8... never played old Bard's Tales or Might and Magics. Is the game really that good? I seem to vaguely remember that Silversword was soundly criticized when it first appeared - was everything ironed out? Does it have exploration and puzzles too, or is it just all combat? I really don't need another game added to my backlog, but if you guys tell me that it is great for somebody who tends to enjoy old-school WRPGs... Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #14 Greyskull, May 2, 2013 Also worth noting that the Bard's Tale trilogy are amongst the most teeth gnashingly tough rpg's in the history of man. Dungeons with hidden teleport blocks and spinners that change your direction, tough-as-nails riddles, inconspicuous rooms which hold some Mega Monster From Hell...:shivers: Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #15 Greyskull, May 2, 2013 Just an FYI for everyone: the remake of the hack-n'slash Bard's Tale game for ios (which was released on consoles...last generation I think) includes (after dl'ing) the entire original trilogy for free. Isilel Well-Known Member Feb 20, 2009 996 0 0 #16 Isilel, May 2, 2013 Tried the first one, though not for long. Was too retro for me. Everything looking the same + lack of auto-mapping killed it for me, I was just spinning in circles and getting killed. The only RPG without auto-mapping that I have played extensively was Eye of the Beholder II and it had more distinct environments, for the most part. So, Silversword? Does it have puzzles/interesting exploration or is it all combat? What about writing/story? icetear Well-Known Member Oct 24, 2010 116 5 18 Bielefeld, Germany http://www.silversword-rpg.com #17 icetear, May 2, 2013 Indeed! Compare the games and decide for yourself. I gave the "originals" a try and put them down after the 5th "Please insert Dungeon Disk A" (!). Hopefully my approach to this niche is more appealing. Kind regards Mario nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #18 nightc1, May 2, 2013 This was one of the games I wanted... but I know if I buy it now it's just to go on the backlog.

But if you feel that this is a new retro RPG that you would want to see more of, then download it to show the indie developer support. Or one day all that will be left are Angry Birds with Friends XV freemium edition on the App Store. I bought it because I thought Silversword was cool. Then I played it and remembered why I didn't really dig The Bard's Tale trilogy, but still find my few bucks spent a worthwhile donation to keep the flames of non-freemium and non-mega publisher RPGs alive...
