Silverfall

Esse ARPG é underrated e pouco conhecido, mas proporciona uma experiência muito divertida no estilo Diablo (é claro que não no mesmo nível de qualidade e conteúdo). Vale a pena comprar em uma promoção, pois ele fica bem baratinho, e é divertido por algumas horas até começar a se tornar repetitivo. A jogabilidade é simples e hack’n’slash, há várias habilidades diferentes e vcê vai escolhendo qual quiser sem ficar presa em um sistema de classes, aqui vcê pode experimentar de tudo um pouco, desde o típico guerreiro e arqueiro até o mago druida ou necromante. Além do mais o jogo conta com uma história até que interessante, mas o que cansa mesmo é o grind e a quantidade e exagerada de inimigos em todo canto, lembrou até a trilogia de ARPG do Van Helsing, um monte de inimigo forte indo pra cima e te fazendo morrer em segundos se vcê não se preparar bem. Enfim, Silverfall não é nenhuma obra prima, mas ainda assim é mto bom e recomendo dar uma chance, nem se for pra jogar apenas algumas horinhas até cansar.

[quote][b]Warning: Broken Game![/b] This game has design/implementation defects that will render this unplayable for many gamers. The game doesn't work on modern builds of Windows 10/11, requiring dependencies like legacy versions of PhysX and other components the developer refuses to supply with the game, despite knowing the game doesn't work without them, by design.[/quote] Silverfall is an ancient and broken game from 2007. It's a whopping 17 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. The game itself is broken, and if you could get it to work, you'd find it's just a mediocre ripoff of successful ARPGs like Diablo/Path of Exile/Torchlight. The key difference is that those games work properly and this one doesn't. The game was highly derivative, clunky, and repetitive... not even close to being a good representative of the genre. And now, it's abandoned by the developer who refuses to maintain their software, and yet has no qualms about trying to get gamers to pay them for it anyway. On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The game never really caught on with the millions of gamers on Steam, with a very low peak player count close to launch, and then just a handful of players launching this game every couple of days. This is undoubtedly caused by factors such as those raised in this review. It's always helpful with buying decisions to consider how popular and successful the product is, and unfortunately while this did accumulate a few participation trophy reviews, overall, people just aren't using it. Unethically, the developers have left this on the Steam store in an unplayable and broken state. It's the responsibility of the developer to maintain their product, ensure it runs on all modern PCs, or if they determine there's defects and the game doesn't work, they should remove it from sale instead of misleadingly trying to scam gamers into buying knowingly defective products. This is harmful to Steam and to gamers, not just because it's a direct and intentional attempt to scam people, but because it takes a share of the marketing space and visibility away from other games. It's polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuine games and for genuine indie developers who put months or years into making proper games find an audience. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? The developer is deliberately and unethically trying to scam gamers into paying them the utterly unrealistic price of $5 USD for a game they know is broken. Don't give it to them. For comparison, the $5 asking price for this game could get you games like "Warhammer: Vermintide 2", "Mass Effect 3" or "Left 4 Dead 2". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.

I first got this on CD back in the day because of a flashy box art and never got past the swamp - it was that hard for some reason yet captivating to this day. Found it online years later and finally got around to power through just recently, and what can I say: this is a bad game. Once you get a healer companion (almost at the start) the whole thing turns into a series of LMB-clear mob pack with autoattack-rest-repeat. There's no gameplay, just constant LMB. No story, funky visuals though. Unfortuantely teenage nostalgia didn't help one bit. Miss it.

6 out of 5 stars! Recommend! Packed full of flavor and easy to digest. I ate mine in less than 30 hours, then I pooped out this review.

2я моя любимая игра в жанре! в ней очень много уникальных механик и штучек) но и минусы тож есть. решил через много много лет ее еще раз запвлесосить - вот все еще не могу ее нормально настроить сейчас чтоб комфортно играть

[i] Был наслышан об игре от многих. Часто видел её в рекомендациях и всё же решил попробовать. Разочарованию нет предела. Возможно игра была на выходе крайне интересной и в силу не с чем толком сравнить, была более играбельной. Самые серьёзные претензии к игре - её неудобство. Дискомфорт: - Терпимый пункт, однако при открытии настроек графики выкидывает из игры; - Не смог до конца выявить какие пункты ломают слегка оптимизацию, но что-то из настроек графики явно не очень хорошо оптимизировано; - Просто ужаснейшая камера! И это непростительно для подобного жанра и геймплея. Она очень сильно близко расположена к герою. С учётом, что весь геймплей это лкм-отбег/лкм-выстрел и так по кругу. Порой даже нажимать некуда отбегать. И не просто близко, но повернуть её тоже особо не дают, только из стороны в сторону; - В догонку, герой любит застрять или не мочь пройти по клику, какое-то препятствие. Хотя по факту пройти можно, но текстурка какая-то мешает; - Не успел посмотреть каков текст в оригинале, но при руссификации текст очень тяжело читаемый. Он в районе 8-9 размера текста, если сравнивать с вордовским; - В игре нет даже пары пунктов настроек управления, можно перенести только скиллы на панель; - Хилки на ХП и МП стоят на 9 и 0, перебиндить нельзя; - Всё делается мышкой. Открыть карту, инвентарь, скиллы, характеристики, всё жмякаем ЛКМ, даже эскейпом окно не закрывается; - Задания не понятно как отслеживаются. Раз тыкнул, оно появилось на карте, второй раз тыкнул, уже не появляется; - Мобов обычно кучка, 3-4. АОЕ скиллов нет на старте и не будет в дальнейшем, ибо находятся нормальные скиллы массовые в последних тирах навыков; Из понравившегося: - Прикольная прокачка, которая тебя не ограничивает в классе; - Очень приятно игра выглядит и по сей день. Стилистика приятная; - У игры видна своя стилистика с первых минут. [/i] [b] Я готов терпеть разного рода отрицательные стороны игр, однако когда жанровые элементы сделаны настолько неудобно, получить хоть какой-то кайф от игры затруднительно. Не хочу лишний раз нервничать. Спокойного пикселя тебе, Сильверфол. [/b]

Short review after finishing the game. Sadly i cannot recommend this game as its simply bad and there are far better options out there, even older games. Pros: - Beatiful hub cities/camps, like clockwork city - 2 sides of proggression nature or technology, you cant have both and you get a skill tree and specific weapons and armors pursuing one of the sides which gives you some customization and replayability - Decent skill system allowing you different playstyles Cons: - Horrible maps, basicly oversized empty maps with 3 to 4 sized group of monsters with not much variety - Monsters lv up with you to a certain extent making proggresion seem empty - Bad loot system, when loot drops its only indicated by a smoke, when you kill a big monsters beacuse of its big corpse you cant see your loot unless you scan every pixel at that location or wait for it to despawn - Horrible main story and sidequests, looks like someone mashed different child plots togheter without proper tone or story proggresion - If you die your companions also magicly die even if full health... Can only recommend to bizzare rpg enjoyers.

Played it a while back, when I was younger, and I had the patience to finish it. But now...the game is borderline unplayable. It crashes frequently when changing the zones...and with the iffy saving system, you will replay whole sections. The story is nonexistent and the gameplay is mostly braindead, unfortunately. And also you have to install a very old physics driver for the game to run. Not worth your time...

This game is worth looking at, i like the way you have a choice between nature and machine, rather then good and evil. nature builds with the land, but machine is stronger but turns your surrounding into a wasteland. quite cleaver. plays a lot like dungeon siege 2. it also has a toon-shader, so it is an old game, but it doesn't age badly because of the shader. Remember that this game is more for nostalgic purposes as there are newer games out. If you like playing classics and games that lead to some iconic game-play styles in today's gaming, then check this game out

Very ambitious game from a small company. It's a rough, janky and unpolished hidden gem. The gameplay is a mixture of arpg and more traditional crpg. pro: - very simple but satisfying combat - interesting gear - expansive skill trees with a lot of fun builds - choices affect what skills you can use (technology vs nature) - very good visual variety (areas and enemy designs) - the visuals are very dated but still have a certain charme - writing was better than expected and there where some fun dialogues - voice acting is allright (only important quests have it) con: - combat is very repetitive and feels more or less the same against all enemies and bosses - some annoying bugs (f.e. I couldnt complete one of the side quests) - very generic and boring story (basically chasing one mcguffin after another) - clunky and unintuitive controls - you will get stuck on terrain constantly (probably most annoying part of the game) - performance is lackluster (but doesnt matter that much because of the slow combat) - you have to manually install a legacy support version for nvidia physix to be able to play the game - even on full hd the text is to small to read, so you probably have to opt for an even lower resolution (I played on 1366x768) tl;dr: - hidden gem if you like rough and janky rpgs and arent turned down by outdated graphics
