Silent Hope - 100% Main Campaign Completion Review
Score: 6/10
Silent Hope is a Old-School, Dungeon Crawling, Chibi Graphics Style JRPG that focuses on seven hero's who are tasked by a ancient princess with finding and defeating her father, a mad ancient king who stole everyone's ability to speak and dove into the Abyss.
Main characters are 7 heroes each with their own weapons type and abilities, there's your typical JRPG swordsman, a male archer, a female blacksmith 2 handed user, a female farmer pitchfork and spear user, a male alchemist staff user, a female dual wielding maid and a female fist using redheaded chef, each have 2 unlockable classes, one at lvl 15 and another after you beat a boss in the end game content, they're all fully voice acted but you won't hear them until you've beaten the main quest and restored their voices.
Gameplay consists of old school JRPG dungeon crawling, go in collect rarity tiered loot and then return to your base camp to turn that loot into weapons, accessories, usable materials and food which you use for passive buffs during runs, the abyss consists of 5 areas and multiple levels with a campfire every few levels that let's you return to that point later, the combat is pretty barebones, you have your standard attack and 3 abilities of your choice, the levels tend to repeat themselves and the game uses way too many things to slow you down such as high enemy hp, blocked off gates and long crafting times, there's end game content after you've beaten the main quest which consists of a new dungeon and boss.
Overall Silent Hope is a okay game, it'll take about 10 to 15 hours to complete the main quest, depending on RNG of course, honestly it's nothing special really but it's decent enough if you like Dungeon Crawlers or just want something to pass some time, but i only recommend getting the game if it's on sale $5 to $10 max, or if you just want to support the developer, but as always, It's.. Up.. To.. You and i'll leave it at that. (^_−).
