Silver Daze

My Daze are finally Silver! Enjoying the game and music so far!

Kani took the kids... Updated Review as of 3/4/25. Silver Daze is a coming-of-age, card-collecting, retro-style RPG. If any of those elements sound interesting, you’ll probably enjoy Silver Daze, because everything it tries, it succeeds in. It has fun exploration, incredible music, and engaging turn-based combat where the skills you acquire are the cards found throughout the game. I had a blast changing my party as I gained new characters and new cards, creating some interesting builds. The game’s variety allows for nearly any playstyle to be viable—as long as you’re willing to think a bit about it. At the heart of the game, though, is the romance and fracturing relationship between the two main characters, Pinn and Kani. If you’ve ever had an awkward high-school romance, you’ll appreciate (and cringe at) the writing even more. That leads me to the one possible issue others may have: the writing. While the relationship dynamics are incredibly well-written and can sometimes make your stomach curl at the relatability of being emotionally immature, the side characters—aside from the amazing best friend Geo—don’t always talk like real human beings. To some extent, even Geo doesn’t. For me, this wasn’t a problem; I quite enjoyed the over-the-top style of characters like super-nerd Jeff or the shy coward Shane. But if you’re expecting any sort of realism—even though the setting resembles our own world—you’re going to have a bad time. The final explanation for the cause of the game’s events is also quite silly, I might add. I think it works, however, because Silver Daze knows exactly what it’s trying to do. The only thing it aims to be realistic is the very real feelings of the passing of time and the possible fallout—or rekindling—of relationships. On that front, it doesn’t just succeed—it excels. A fantastic game I hope others will give a chance. 9/10.

The Silver Daze is real.

It's a nice game, somewhat ambitious story, but it very much over stay it's welcome with far too many and too long dungeons and combat that doesn't evolve much after the start.

Good music and nice graphics

All of the charm of old-style games with a storyline any of us can find pieces of themselves in. Some portions take some grit/patience to get through, but arriving to the game's end is well worth your time getting there. Plus, the music absolutely rocks. Once you get used to the battle mechanic logic, building up synergies is a blast.

I forgot to post my review for this game. I would just like to say I did receive early access to the demo before anyone else and did stream it. However, I did back the kickstarter and bought my own copy of the game. The demo was promising and was really excited about the game. The game however unfortunately has one fatal flaw......I wanted to keep playing. It's fun to boot this game up and experience a unique card based combat system that has special moves that makes you think about team comp to your preferred playstyle. I did play on default, but I imagine harder diffuculties makes this game tense to plan out. The ending was great, the overall message of this game made me cry, and I gotta say this game came close. While Axial Disc 2 is still my favorite game from this developer, this game is not to be slept on and I highly recommend a playthrough and am excited for the next outing. 9/10 (Sorry Pinn, but the things you did later on made me take off a point from a perfect 10/10, understandable, but come on man). I scheduled my playthrough to go up early january, but I did a playthrough of the demo which you see at https://youtu.be/B73RYRfrGkw. Anyway, buy this, it's worth it.
