The WhatsNext verdict

Silver is a worthwhile time capsule for players who want a cinematic late-1990s fantasy adventure with unusually active combat. Expect a memorable presentation and fun battles, but not a deep RPG or a consistently strong story.

What it does best

  • A lively real-time battle system built around directional attacks

  • A memorable fantasy journey through varied, storybook-like places

  • Audio and voice work that give the adventure unusual theatrical presence

What might put you off

  • Mouse-driven combat can become imprecise and chaotic

  • The story and navigation often undermine the presentation

The setup

What you are walking into

An RPG set in a medieval land where all the women have been kidnapped and it is up to you to get them back. What starts as a mission to save the women soon turns into a battle against good and evil to the death.
