Um clássico, ótimo jogo
Amazing short Game, always something new around each corner. Couple of graphical glitches with mouse cursor and interactive points. Could imagine will stop and new player. fairly obvious what to click on thou.
Le jeu de mon enfance, je regardais mon frère y jouer pendant des heures. Histoire et gameplay trop cool, voix françaises (très bon point). Jouez y si vous aimez les jeux rétro <3
Can´t recommend buying the game.
Game constantly crashed in the the first part of the game (I think it´s called the Library) and nothing would stop it.
Tried to start a new game but the same thing just kept happening.
The game is great and I have fond memories of it from my youth but sadly it wont run for me.
Old classic. L:ove this game. Recently replayed in full and still holds up. I ended up switching to a GOG version instead as this ones seems more prone to crashing but could be my imagination. GOG still does crash a bitbut less in comparison. If it crashes here refund within 2 hrs and switch to the GOG version.
Endlich durchgespielt.
Jogo, antigo, mas com uma boa trama,
A lot of nostalgia, it was an incredible game for it's time.

[h2]Silver (1999)[/h2]
[i]Let me preface this by saying that I had never played this game before, never even heard of it. I found it randomly in an obscure collection of old fantasy video games. Which means that [b]nostalgia plays no part in this review[/b][/i].
With that said, I can’t understand how this game is mostly forgotten and never mentioned in conversations about fantasy games. Silver is a fantastic game. This isn’t the fancy restaurant where they serve you A5 wagyu that melts on your tongue, with candlelight, chandeliers and impeccable service. This is that one deadly delicious burger you randomly ate at some shabby burger joint once, that you still remember to this day.
This game has something a lot of other games lack, and that is [i]soul[/i].
This game is unique and charming, which for me outweights all the things mentioned below.
Silver is a flawed game, no doubt about it. The game is old, and it shows. There are no in-game key binding options. Which not only means you can’t change some of the weirdly chosen keys for actions, but you also don’t actually have a full grasp of all the actions you can take. I looked up all the key bindings after finishing the game and, lo and behold, half the keys were unknown to me while playing.
The quality of the voice acting fluctuates a lot, and since the main character has one of the worst performances, you really notice it. Some game design choices will make you go, “Why did they do that?”, and it definitely feels like one of those things that hasn’t aged well. Combat can be clunky at times too, but the worst part is your team’s AI. They aren’t really optimized, and a lot of the time they aren’t even worth micro-managing. It wasn’t until the last two “chapters” that I actually had to manage them to actually win fights.
The soundtrack is alright, nothing mind-blowing. I wish there was more to say but it really is just some background music while you are playing (not terrible, mind you). Additionally, the characters can be hard to connect to since we don’t really get to know them. Its like they have personalities, but are only explored as a few lines scattered through the game. To top it off, the game is liable to fully crash under seemingly random circumstances, or just stop working propely and demand a full reboot of the game to continue. This is especially bitter since there is no auto-saving, and saving is limited. Finally the boss fights (although cool conceptually) are often mostly tedious and gimmicky instead of challenging and grandiose as one would like.
Yet, I ended up loving the game.
For me, the thing that originally pulled me in was the art style. As far as the games I have played or seen, no other game has used this kind of art direction. They use screenshot-like images as backgrounds for each scene, and they are stunning. A lot of them could be hung up on a wall without me questioning it. The characters and items are 3D models on top of them, and if you use the “pixel perfect” option chosen, the pixelated characters blend very well with the backgrounds.
The story is nothing mind-blowing, and quite simple, but it’s one of those “classic” fantasy tales that I really respect. There is something about a simple good vs evil story. There is also a surprisingly vast repertoire of schools of magic, weapons, potions, and magic items to collect and use as well, which keeps things exciting. This helps a lot considering the game is mostly fighting and exploring aside from the main story. Combat, although at times clunky, is pretty unique. Some call it "gesture-based combat". It’s not just point and click, you can do different attacks based on your mouse movement (melee). The system is not complex and quite easy to pick up. I found it fun throughout the whole game.
Although there is a leveling system, there isn’t any option to put points into specific attributes. You just get a general boost for the characters, which might sound off, but the progression still works very well in my opinion. The important part is that you actually feel your characters go from zero to hero from start to finish. As previously mentioned the characters themselves aren’t explored deeply, but you’ll still meet a lot of different people in this game with humor-filled dialogue and interesting personalities. The different settings for the areas are also a welcome addition.
I mean, you can tell that this game is made by people who have played and understand the fantasy genre of video games.
If you can forgive the faults of an older game, this is one of the few games which really encompasses the term [i][b]hidden gem[/b][/i].
O jogo cai DO NADA
Um ótimo jogo!
需要中文，最好是能玩上重置~
jeu fabuleux avec une ambiance et un charme trés particuliers empreints de naiveté !!!
Dommage qu'il plante en fin de parcours sur Metalon ...
This game is GOLD!
I played this game a lot when I was just a kid and never finished it back then. I finished this game in 2022 in a china portable emulator, it was amazing!
Now I'm playing this game on Steam. Feels like childhood...
Silver sem sombra de dúvidas um jogo revolucionário para a época. Essa versão que está disponível para compra na steam, não é totalmente fiel ao jogo original. Existe delays na jogabilidade, iso torna a experiência um pouco frustante, fora isso, 100%.

Nostalgie PUR
Das Spiel hat mich wieder völlig zurück in meine Jugend verfrachtet. Ist einfach eine schön erzählte, wenn auch simple Geschichte vom Bösewicht und den vermeintlich schwachen Untertanen, die ihn stürzen wollen. Die Gamemechanik ist dem Alter entsprechend etwas eingerostet und man wundert sich über manche Aufgaben, aber ansonsten völlige Nostalgie und wirklich viel Spielspaß.
This is one of the best games I ever played. The Story, gameplay is absolute fablulus and was way ahead of the time. I loved the mouse controlls for Sword fighting - not only clicking instead you swipe your mouse in the directions.
Oh and - German dubbing is top notch!
Sadly the Games crashes randomly, first 2 houres no crashes, and now after every 10 minutes. I coud cry.
This was really nostalgic for me to come back to this game, one of the first ones I ever played.
It definitely has rough edges, very dated controls, and the AI of enemies and allies is very basic. Funnily enough it still has somewhat of an "innovative" combat style, having to move your mouse cursor up, down, left or right to perform different kind of melee swings.
Overall, I found it very enjoyable to play through it once more.
One does have to try around with the different spells though, because the balance of them is... questionable.
Level 2 and 3 spells are so mana costly and inefficient, if you want to have a character as a permanent caster, you are forced to stick to level 1 spells until the endgame at which point you can use level 2 spells.
Furthermore, the balance between level 3 AOE spells is laughable. It's like as if the developers themselves ran out of mana during their tests, only making it up to level 2 spells for testing.
Anyway, it was fun and the story is good enough. Everything is voice acted and especially the German voice actors are great, David (the main character) in particular.
Nostalgico
Nostalgic.
Pensa num RPG
The last time I played this game was when it came out, around the year 1999/2000. Now 25 years later I am still amazed by the storytelling, the visuals, the character development and even the combat system. The game is amazingly simple but in a very fun way. There is no character development to be taken care of, yet you can still choose if you want to play as mage, melee or ranged. The sound-, level- and character-design is very inspiring and reminds me of how different the games were back then. There is no quest-log, you actually have to listen to the dialog or you find yourself wandering around aimlessly. The puzzles are not guided and the sidequests not announced. The scenes take their time, and you find yourself walking around quite a bit, but it never feels boring or stretched - it is unbelievably satisfying when you remember a key you found 2hrs ago and it is to be used at some random location to unlock a gate for some loot. The game does not "do it for you" but you have to think yourself, and this takes the game somewhat outside the computer, which is refreshing. It really interacts with you as a player other than entertaining you by doing everything for you. You really feel the developers how they thought of you playing through and that they want you to be engaged, rather than consuming the content. It has been a truly inspiring 13h of fun, a little timecapsule and actually a good reminder of why I used to be gamer in my teenage years. Thank you for making this game available on steam!
Classic.
What's an incubus?
Good.
Very nice classic hack 'n slash from 1999.
The graphics are nice and is somewhat adjustable in the settings (stretch screen)
Soundeffects and music is there but it's the voice acting that is really good.
It has also some humor between the hero and some npc's.
The only downside is that the range magic powers are a bit difficult to use cause the hitboxes are really small, so you miss click and come to close to the enemy while you wanna fight them from a disctance.
And while using your invnetory the game doesn's pause.
Also the savepoints are sometimes a bit to far away.
The stone golems are a pain with the wizardgimp cause he's most of the time invisable, but while summoning a new golem he's only then vulnereble. And with the clunky hitboxes and ranged magic it's a bit stressfull.
Once you get used to the gesture based controls for combat its actually pretty fun. Story is interesting too and worth paying attention to.
This is my absolute favourite game of all time, in my opinion it’s a work of art. I’m being unashamedly nostalgic, as I remember picking it out as a thirteen old (ruminating which game I could spend my pocket money on), but replaying it 25 years later there is still so much about it I love. The artwork is beautiful and diverse, and music is immersive and evocative, the game play is very satisfying and as casual gamer its difficulty is spot on (I don’t have hours to get lost in massive universes). I’m sure you could levy criticism on it, I’m conscious the plot and poly-faceted-characters are somewhat lacking, but its more than made up with a decent pace and progress through the story, and to reiterate gorgeous artwork. I’ve never be patient enough for multiple complex side-quests and this really hits the mark. Please play this game! I would love to find another game like this!!
This game from my childhood. Created in 1999.
The first game which i play on PC.
The best game ever.
eccellente
es un juego buenisimo, ojalá lo remasterizaran!
Retro Jasper von game two hat dieses spiel in der sendung empfohlen. Hat er gut gemacht kannte diesen klassiker gar nicht und finde ihn richtig gut
非常经典。不同方向滑动鼠标施展不同方向的攻击指令，对童年的我来说是非常超前的设计。而且这游戏的音乐也非常戳我。
Silver is a distinctive action role-playing game that occupies a unique place in the late-1990s PC landscape, remembered less for technical perfection and more for its bold ideas and strong sense of atmosphere. Originally developed by Spiral House and published by Infogrames, and later re-released on Steam by THQ Nordic, Silver represents a moment when RPG designers were actively experimenting with how real-time combat, narrative, and party mechanics could coexist. Even decades later, it stands out as a game that dared to be different, blending traditional fantasy storytelling with unusually tactile combat systems.
The story follows David, an ordinary man drawn into an extraordinary conflict after his wife is abducted by the tyrannical ruler Silver, a dark sorcerer who governs through fear and arcane power. What begins as a personal rescue mission gradually expands into a broader quest involving ancient orbs, forgotten civilizations, and a world suffering under oppression. While the narrative structure itself is relatively straightforward, it gains strength from its tone and pacing. The journey feels purposeful, driven by emotional motivation rather than abstract heroism, and the steady expansion of the world gives the sense of uncovering a larger truth hidden behind Silver’s cruelty.
Gameplay is where Silver most clearly separates itself from its contemporaries. Combat unfolds in real time and relies heavily on mouse gestures to control melee attacks, allowing players to swing swords, block, and perform special maneuvers based on directional input rather than fixed animations. This system gives combat a physical, almost expressive quality that feels closer to direct action than menu-driven RPG mechanics. While the approach can feel unusual at first, especially for players accustomed to keyboard-centric controls, it becomes intuitive with practice and rewards precision and timing over raw statistics.
Party management adds another layer of strategy to the experience. Over the course of the game, David is joined by several companions, each with distinct abilities and combat styles. Players can switch control between characters during encounters, choosing the most effective tool for the situation at hand. This flexibility encourages tactical thinking, particularly during tougher fights, even if the companion AI occasionally struggles to react optimally on its own. The sense of adventuring as a group, rather than as a solitary hero, gives Silver a broader tactical scope than many action RPGs of its era.
Visually, Silver uses a combination of 3D character models and pre-rendered backgrounds, a technique common at the time but applied here with a strong artistic eye. The environments are varied and evocative, ranging from icy wastelands and ancient ruins to dark fortresses and mystical landscapes. While the technology is undeniably dated by modern standards, the art direction still conveys mood and scale effectively. The fixed camera angles emphasize composition and atmosphere, though they can occasionally make navigation or combat positioning awkward.
Sound design and music play a crucial role in reinforcing the game’s tone. The soundtrack leans into orchestral and ambient themes that underscore the epic and somber nature of the journey, while sound effects give weight to combat and exploration. Voice acting is limited but serviceable, contributing to the narrative without dominating it. Together, these elements help Silver maintain a sense of immersion that compensates for its aging visuals and interface.
Silver is not without its rough edges. The learning curve of the combat system, occasional camera frustrations, and older save and interface conventions can feel cumbersome to players raised on modern quality-of-life standards. Yet these imperfections are also part of its identity as a product of its time. Rather than smoothing every edge, the game retains a sense of personality and experimentation that many more polished titles lack.
Ultimately, Silver endures because of its willingness to challenge conventions. It offers a hands-on combat system, a focused emotional narrative, and a richly atmospheric world that rewards patience and curiosity. For players interested in retro RPGs or the evolutionary history of action-oriented role-playing games, Silver remains a compelling experience—one that may show its age, but also demonstrates how ambition and creativity can leave a lasting impression long after technology moves on.
Rating: 9/10
Vc provavelmente vai comprar pelo mesmo motivo que eu: Pura nostalgia. Voltei para terminar o que a minha versão criança não conseguiu.
O Grande Problema (Onde está o Wally?): Os cenários pré-renderizados são bonitos, mas funcionam como uma armadilha. Achar a saída de uma sala é quase um jogo de azar; você fica passando o mouse na tela até o cursor mudar. O jogo não te dá dicas e a exploração é punitiva, pois isso pode te deixar empacado sem nem fazer ideia do que fazer.
Exemplo clássico: Tem chefe invisível que exige um item específico para ser revelado, mas o jogo "esquece" de te contar que esse item existe. Você que lute (literalmente no escuro), a não ser que vc tenha dado sorte de achar ele.
Combate e IA:
Mover o mouse para desferir golpes foi revolucionário em 1999, mas hoje parece que você está brigando com o periférico. É fácil se embananar e dar o golpe errado, fora que pra vc errar o golpe é muito fácil...vc as vezes vai passar raiva.
IA (Inteligência Ausente): Seus companheiros sofrem de "burrice artificial". Na maior parte do tempo, eles preferem assistir você apanhar do que ajudar no combate, e como tudo acontece em tempo real, pra vc usar poção, trocar de magia, equipar armas, é um desafio...agora imagina fazer isso com 3 personagens ao mesmo tempo ?!?!?.
O jogo é curto e não muito difícil. Vale a pena em 2025? Sim, mas só pela nostalgia. Se você não jogou na época, a frustração com a exploração e o combate confuso pode não compensar. É um game para matar a saudade, não para buscar mecânicas polidas.
Muita gente reclamou do game crashar e outros problemas na versão Steam, eu não tive nenhum desses problemas, mas acho que isso é muito uma questão de sorte, existe uma versão na GOG, mas não acho que seja diferente, mas tem gente que jogou por lá e não teve problema nenhum.
Great Story
Schöne Story, allerdings ohne Komplettlösung hätte ich mich ab und an kaputt gesucht. Wem sowas gefällt eine Empfehlung.
Wundervolle Erinnerungen aus der Kindheit und großartige Story - auch heute noch.
Nostalgia de infância. Tem bugs, mas dá pra jogar tudo.
beste spiel, tolle story bitte ein remake
Pure Nostalgie!
圆梦了
Sinopsis-Historia
Silver nos pone en la piel de David, un aventurero que vive junto a su mujer en un continente llamado Jarrah. Un día el emperador Silver decide buscar pretendienta, y usara su poder para raptar a todas las mujeres del continente. Nosotros deberemos detener sus maléficos planes y rescatar a nuestra esposa.
Una historia muy simplona, de las de rescatar a tu princesa en el castillo, cumple sin más.
-Ambientación/Gráficos
Originario del 1999, esta versión de Steam cuenta con algunas mejoras gráficas respecto a la versión original. La ambientación y escenarios prerrenderizados son realmente muy bonitos y para los nostálgicos noventeros, una preciosidad de juego.
-Mecánicas/Jugabilidad
Consistente en ARPG, controlaremos simultáneamente hasta 3 personajes, de manera individual podemos rotar entre ellos y elegir tanto habilidades cuerpo a cuerpo como a distancia, magias u objetos. No hay atajos rápidos y para cambiar entre armas o magias sufriremos daños en los Pjs, es una mecánica que balancean mediante bastantes objetos de curación.
El juego es complejo, pero divertido.
-OST
Una OST buena, correcta, acompaña bien al ambiente del juego.
-Valoración
Si bien Silver es un juegazo de la época, divertido, complejo y no muy largo (entre 15-20h de duración) me veo en la obligación de no recomendarlo debido a los crasheos continuos ( Juego en Windows 10 )que sufre. Si bien han añadido un guardado estático en una zona del juego que no existía en el original, deberían haber puesto un guardado desde el menú, porque lo he dejado después de hacerme la misma zona 4 veces y que crashee al escritorio.
Una pena, este juego se merecía mas.

The Best game of all time, played when I was 10 and still playing with joy when I'm 35, even though I finished it like 100 times. Music and lore and overall mood of the game is what takes you through this journey with all your mind. They do not do games like this now...
Silver: é um ótimo jogo com varias fases varias armas e etc e comecei jogar e já estou no nivel 2 muito legal o jogo recomendo demais
Simply named game Silver is worth of its name in both good and bad. It's shiny , solid and high value RPG and classy enough to be played even today - it is almost surprising how well it has lasted! Silver is lighthearted RPG with decent good vs. bad storyline which remains interesting marvelously lasting the game's lifetime. The real time action is yet quite simple, but does offer some nice responsiveness by providing various strikes depending your mouse moves. However, overall isometric combat is rather arcade than tactful and its selection of items also doesn't much improve the gameplay variation either. It leans to its own strengths faithfully, but does have its weak moments too. Silver is very interesting and even some sort of unique game taking something from FF, Baldur's Gate and Diablo and mash them up together to create something that should have earned more than it ever did. Silver is beautiful, but next to the gold titles like mentioned previously it fades away swift. I do feel a bit sad that this has happened for Silver is all the way good game, but history has repeat itself many times after that.. for example have you ever heard games like Sudeki, Aquaria, Binary Domain or Kingdom of Amalur? - all having similar fate maybe being in a wrong place at the wrong time - decaying in to the corners of Steam store until someone after even decades later discovers them, blowing the dust away and enjoys their ever unforgotten beauty.
I do recommend this extinguished star that has been outshined by its brighter counterpart classics!
Esse jogo é muito old schoolzinho...Comprei quando pequeno uma revista na banquinha de jornal da praça e veio esse jogo. Cativou a imaginação. Nostalgia. O jogo encantava e ainda encanta. Tem seu charme.
are that any speeed runners of this game had completeted over the half game for about 6 hours thats impressive i think but im listening to all dialogues killed fudge duden.
Habe es früher auf CD gehabt doch jetzt hier am spielen und mal endlich durch spielen....
Eines der besten Spiele aus meiner Kindheit. Ich habe es sehr genossen, es wieder einmal durchzuzocken! :)
It might just be the nostalgia kicking in, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ what a good game...
Hab wieder nach langer zeit durchgespielt macht echt spaß
Davvero molto carino questo Silver.
Al tempo lo avevo giochicchiato su Dreamcast ma era chiaro fosse un titolo pensato per mouse e tastiera. Ora che l'ho recuperato su PC l'ho finalmente portato a termine e devo dire che avrebbe meritato decisamente più successo ai tempi.
Un GDR occidentale che strizza l'occhio a Final Fantasy 7 (soprattutto al suo successo) e anche alle avventure grafiche.
Abbastanza originale, con una storia ben narrata e poco dispersiva ed una buonissima colonna sonora a fare da accompagnamento al tutto
Aus Nostalgiegründen habe ich mir dieses Spiel gekauft. Ich kann verstehen, warum mich "Silver" als Kind fasziniert hat: Die vorgerenderten Hintergründe sind atmosphärisch und die Fantasy-Welt interessant genug, um über die hauchdünne Story hinwegzutäuschen. Und jetzt weiß ich auch, warum ich das Spiel nie zu Ende gespielt habe – es macht schlicht keinen Spaß.
Die Idee, die Schwertbewegungen durch die Maus zu steuern, ist zwar interessant. Allerdings fühlen sich die Kämpfe dadurch fummelig, ungenau und träge an. Solange ihr euch auf einen Gegner konzentrieren könnt, funktioniert das Ganze noch halbwegs. Sobald ihr euch dabei aber bewegen müsst, um etwa Projektilen auszuweichen, gerät das System an seine Grenzen. Und viel Spaß, umherwuselnde Kobolde zu treffen!
Mit einer regulären Steuerung per Controller würde ich mir die Kampagne vielleicht noch antun, aber für dieses frustrierende Herumgewurstel habe ich mittlerweile keine Geduld mehr.
Leider nicht empfehlenswert.
P.S.: Das Spiel hat wohl das SCHLECHTESTE Intro, das ich je erlebt habe :D Viel zu lang, verwirrend und völlig unnötig, um die Geschichte zu verstehen.
Gioco a Silver da ormai poco più di 20 anni, mi ha sempre affascinato l'ambientazione, i dialoghi, il doppiaggio e la musica. La trama del gioco è davvero bella!
Silver é um jogão! Marcou minha infância e toda uma geração. É ótimo poder jogar novamente e me aventurar nesse enredo tão cativante. Além do mais, sou encantado pela trilha sonora, paisagens e jogabilidade!
Depois de mais de 17 anos, pude finalmente matar o Apocalypse e zerar o jogo. Obra prima
什么时候出中文补丁？？？？
출시 당시 책사면 무료로 줬던 게임인데 스팀에 있길래 충동 구매함
언어의 진입 장벽이 압도적으로 높아 공략집 없이는 진행하기 힘드니 신중히 구매하기를....
ES MATERIA OBLIGATORIA PARA TODO GAMER Y ESTE JUEGO SE MERECE UN REMAKE!!!!
[h2] Привет из далекого прошлого [/h2]
90-ые годы XX века были весьма на богаты на игровые релизы, в том числе и на ролевые игры. Именно в этот период зародились такие серии как Fallout, Diablo, Baldur's Gate, свет увидели Planescape: Torment, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time и с полдесятка "Последних Фантазий". Однако так уж вышло, что для меня первой ролевкой стал Silver 1999 года, диск с которой мне подарили на мой десятый день рождения.
Так что же из себя представляет Silver?
Действие игры происходит на архипелаге Джарра, находящимся под контролем злого волшебника Сильвера, который однажды задумал жениться. Для этого он отправил своих людей на остров Верданте, дабы те отобрали подходящих кандидаток, само собой, в добровольно-принудительном порядке. Вот тут-то наш негодяй и совершил фатальную ошибку, так как одна из похищенных девушек оказывается женой молодого воина Дэвида. Последний, преисполнившись праведного гнева, решает во чтобы бы то ни стало спасти свою вторую половинку, а заодно поставить на место зарвавшегося колдуна-императора.
Жанр Silver'а указан как Action RPG, и стоит сразу сказать, что в игре не так уж и много ролевых элементов. Если вы ожидаете десятки побочных квестов, разветленные диалоги и несколько концовок, то вы явно обратились не по адресу. Повышение уровня происходит исключительно после победы очередного босса, причем за это вам не выдают очки, которые можно распределить как душе угодно - все параметры повышаются автоматически. Да это и неважно, ведь и без того играть довольно интересно. Взять хотя бы местную боевую систему, позволяющую наносить различные удары в том или ином направлении. По ходу игры арсенал главного героя пополняется специальными супер-ударами, а также магическими заклинаниями, которые открываются по мере сбора восьми мистических сфер, древних мощных артефактов, без которых невозможно одолеть предфинального главгада. Прокачка заклинаний напрямую связана с частотой использования. Герой научиться кидать файерболы, замораживать противников, проливать с неба кислотный дождь и даже управлять временем, ускоряя своих компаньонов и замедляя врагов. Завершая разговор о боевке, стоит заметить, что герой может сколотить небольшую группу до трех человек, между которыми можно переключаться.
Каждая локация поделена на экраны, каждый из которых представлен плоским, вручную отрисованным задником, на фоне которого перемещаются трехмерные модельки. Понятное дело, по прошествии стольких лет они выглядят неказисто, хотя вряд ли кто-то сочтет это недостатком в наши дни, когда выходят игры, выполненные в стилистике PS1. А вот сами уровни до сих пор выглядят вполне симпатично. Больше всего мне запомнилась тюрьма и потусторонний мир Атро, от которого так и веет вайбами Чужого.
Я так хвалил Silver, что едва не забыл о недостатках. А они есть. Клавиатура слабо задействована в игровом процессе. Все, что может игрок, так это переключаться между персонажами, плюс выбрать последнее использованное холодное оружие, последнее использованное метательное оружие и последнее использованное заклинание/магическое оружие. А выбирать еду, конкретное оружие/заклинание/предмет необходимо вручную, что делать в пылу боя не всегда просто и сопряжено с потерей здоровья. Периодически компаньоны и противники уносятся в мир грез, застывая на месте. К слову сопартийцы самостоятельно лечиться не могут, поэтому это приходиться делать игроку, опять же вручную.
Под конец прохождения игра начинает немного душить, забрасывая тебя врагами. Особенно это характерно для последних локаций. Только ты разобрался сврагами, как тут же буквально из воздуха материализуется свежая пачка противников. Справился с ними - получи на сдачу еще пару. Особенно бесили стреляющие огнем и кислотой маги, которые постоянно телепортировались туда-сюда по локации.
Порой у меня баговала карта, блокируя возможность быстрого перемещения. Все бы ничего, но сохраняться здесь можно только в специальных местах (как правило однократно), так что вы теперь понимаете, насколько большой является проблема.
Вот таким оказался Silver. По прошествии четверти века я наконец-то прошел игру от начала и до конца, и если о чем и жалею, так это о том, что авторы в дальнейшем не стали развивать созданную вселенную. В настоящее время разрабы из Spiral House помогают Эпикам пилить дополнения для Фортнайта, так что никаких ремастеров Сильвера ждать не стоит, не говоря уже о духовных наследниках...
P.S. Я играл в оригинальную английскую версию, ибо локализация от Фаргуса это кромешный ужас. Большинство реплик либо содержат отсебятину, либо представляют собой бессвязный набор слов. Озвучка недалеко ушла по качеству. В любом случае окончательный выбор за вами, но только не говорите потом, что вас не предупреждали.
One of my favourite and most nostalgic games from my childhood :3 Great for a bit of fun with a simple 'save the day from the bad guys' plot.
An unforgettable experience from my past. The characters are decently written, the story is your run of the mill save the princess (though in this occasion it would be the MC's wife) and stop the big bad evil sorcerer. It's honestly a decent game to play if you don't mind the Daggerfall style combat (needing to swing and thrust your mouse for attacks) and needing to manage your companions.
Really, it's a dated game with some charm. If you're on the fence about getting it, buy it on sale. It tends to go for less than a dollar. Cheers.
Um clássico, de aventura e rpg. Maravilhoso
Genau so gut wie damals!
Dieses Spiel ist NUR etwas FÜR NOSTALGIKER.
Das Spiel ist tatsächlich so schwer wie in meiner Erinnerung. Wer sich keine Notizen macht, muss ein super Gedächnis haben =)
Die Grafik lässt wirklich zu wünschen übrig. -> 1999?
es nostalgico el juego ya que solo lo pude jugar en una demo, tiene sus detalles pero entiendo que se optimizo lo mejor que se pudo, pero vale la pena jugarlo
Fesselndes und spannendes Spiel mit Hintergrundgeschichte. Abenteuerliche Reise von David mit seinem Team.
Spiele das Spiel seit es auf dem Markt ist, und spiele es noch heute.
Nostalgie und Kindheit.
Pure Liebe <3
Relatively clunky, appears to have a memory leak issue, the Rain bell puzzle is horrific, and the game is pretty darn short.
Nostalgia goggles are a must for this game, but even with that considered, it's a pretty fun game!
This game has a mediocre combat system it's best to use mouse and keyboard and u have to deal with items getting in the way or other icons when u fight multiple enemies while trying to click on enemy and there's no run button so player runs when want to its best to get this game on sale 2.5 / 5
I played this game way back as a youth and thought it was brilliant. Great art, innovative combat, pleasant vibe from the story.
I don't know how I completed it without a walkthrough, but I remember getting stuck multiple times. I also remember completing it without a game guide, and eventually finding all the 'hidden' items and whatnot.
Playing it now, it's definitely worth 5 quid. You'll get about 10-12 hours out of it. The art still holds up, so does the combat, even if it gets repetitive towards the end. Best parts are in the beginning, then they seem to slowly run out of ideas.
One of the levels is a giant ripoff of the Alien aesthetic, of all things, and even features Baldur's Gate beholder creatures. It's rushed - about 3 maps before the boss.
Anyway, it was enjoyable to play it again. Very simple game with a trite story but a 'pleasant vibe', as I said. Good for passing an hour or two after work if you've nothing else on the backlog.
I played Silver in 2002, and was my favorite game since then, the world building, the gameplay is just awesome.

Game of my childhood, that's enough to play again
Bom jogo, para a época.
Comandos simples, mas frustantes. A IA dos personagens secundários é quase inexistente, o que faz com que fiquem apanhando muito para os monstros.
Mas mesmo assim é um jogo legal.
História bem simples e clichê, mas nada que atrapalhe a diversão.
Um remaster desse jogo seria muito bom.
Класика в жанра. Играл съм я безброй пъти още от 2000 г насам.
Tolles älteres Spiel sehr zu Empfehlen
Boring. Story is pretty standard but not terrible. Dialogue has decent voice acting but cringe. Battle is awkward, annoying, and incessant. Graphics are horrendously dated and there are so many better games that have improved in every way to this game. Maybe 76 years ago this was a great game, but it's not worth even bothering with now. It's very adolescent centric. I'm sure I would have liked it when it released.
why i cant open the game? I tried to download and open but it didnt work. How can i fix that?
Recomendado 100%.
Silver es un juego que conocí en 1999,mi primer contacto fue mediante una demo en la versión de PC que llego en un disco junto con una revista de videojuegos de la época,acto seguido pude comprar la versión que salío para la consola Dreamcast,y honestamente,tengo muy buenos recuerdos,es un titulo que me encantó completarlo.
En esa época paso un poco desapercibido,pués otras aventuras rpg habían dejado el listón bastante alto,tanto en N64 como Psx,pero a pesar de ello me encantó.
Se trata de una aventura,con toques rpg acción,un combate entretenido,y un menú radial,la historia es entretenida y tiene sus toques de humor,una buena banda sonora y un doblaje a mi parecer bastante bueno.
Esta version de Steam actual,dispone de algunas mejoras gráficas respecto a las originales de PC y Dreamcast,pero no solo por HD,sino que añade en el menú de opciones,aparte de la posibilidad de jugarlo en su formato original 4:3,como tambien 16:9,tambien dispones de una barra (slider) que permite retocar la imagen,y dando resultados más optimos en esta,sin estiramientos raros en la imagen.
(Muy buen punto para los desarrolladores)
La unica función que realmente echo en falta en esta ultima versión de Steam,es que a diferencia de la original en Dreamcast,pues esta no dispone de soporte nativo para controles actuales como el de Xbox en pc,por ejemplo.
Aunque hoy se puede utilizar mandos de control perfectamente,mediante Steam facilmente,no dispone de su interfaz adaptada a los botones y gatillos. (Esta opción,a mi criterio hubiese sido el retoque perfecto,junto a las otras mejoras que ya le añadieron) puesto que anteriormente ya había emulado la version Dreamcast en un pc donde logicamente si la tiene.
Desconozco si es posible medante algún mod añadirlo,pero en terminos generales,es una aventura muy disfrutable si te gustaban las aventuras con toques de rol de la época,a un precio reducido.
Absolute Legende aus der Kindheit. Storyline ist nicht so stark, dafür aber die Dialoge und die atmosphärische Tiefe. Genial das man es auf Steam wieder kaufen kann. Obwohl Ich die "110 DM Box" hier noch liegen hab. :D
Banger of 90's
maravilhoso um dos melhores jogos que ja joguei
Old School true fun!
Играл в эту игру в далеком 2001 году на SEGA Dreamcast) Очень теплые воспоминания.
Круто, что эта игра есть в Steam и с вполне неплохим разрешением) Графика старая, так как не ремастер и не ремейк, но не стоит забывать, какого она года выпуска. Игра проходится на одном дыхании, классическая рпг того времени) Советую любителям классики.
Кстати, в игре есть какой-никакой русский перевод.
Não vi o tempo passar.
Me lembro de ter jogado à mais de 20 anos atrás quando era criança com aqueles computadores brancos da Intel, monitor de tubo e mouse com bolinha, passar pelos cenários, história, personagens e puzzles novamente me trouxe uma nostalgia de época dos jogos simples, porém feitos com amor e dedicação.
Com aproximadamente 8~9 horas de Gameplay, Silver não é, e jamais será um jogo famoso na comunidade, porém sem dúvida é um clássico entre os jogos de RPG, além de ser um dos favoritos da minha infância.
Regular Crashes so Save often.
Stretches out so the graphics are probably slightly worse on a modern monitor unless you want to play with black bars.
No improvements over the old title.
Still absolutely amazing game. Some of the most fun combat out there.
Worth picking up on a sale if you do not want to ahem "download" it elsewhere. Good to have here for easy access if you're a fan simply put.
I never beat this as a kid so time to kick ass! :D
Yes.
Game was ahead of its time when I first played it, probably one of the first PC games I played and was one of my favourites. This steam version is really buggy with multi-monitor setups. When you move mouse to the edge of the screen to enter new areas, it just scrolls to the second monitor, making you unable to enter some areas. Shame, I was looking forward to playing through Silver once again all these years later, I may disconnect a monitor at some point to give it a try.
me quede tancado en DEATHGATE me gaste el dinero no puedo pagar el barco alguien sabe donde puede vender cosas o conseguir dinero
Hands down the best game of my entire childhood. I had the CD for part 1 and never got to finish it, 19 years later i'm finally able too, feels amazing!
I was able to get through about 2.5 hours before I started crashing at the same spot over and over again. Frustrating and unsure I will continue to even attempt to get through this game at this point, as I'm tired of re-doing the same thing repeatedly only to result in crashes. This is on Windows 10. Giving this a negative for the time being due to stability issues. If I end up completing it I will update to reflect my opinion on the game itself.
É Maravilhoso poder voltar a jogar este jogo que fez parte da minha infância. é um jogo diferenciado para a época de quando foi lançado e completo com os elementos 3d da época. Continua tendo a mesma gameplay nostálgica, com algumas adições de saves além de correções de alguns bugs que aconteciam quando se tentava jogar o jogo em computadores modernos.
Por ultimo fica o desejo da THQ nordic para fazer um remaster do jogo e talvez melhorar a IA dos companions que acabam ficando parados, caso não sejo ordenados a atacar uma inimigo.
Ce jeu m'a tellement marqué qu'il en est devenu mon pseudo et mon avatar sur Internet. Ai-je vraiment besoin d'argumenter plus que cela ?
Kindheitserinnerung! Klassische Geschichte die super rübergebracht wir! Cooler Retrostyle =)
Spiel aus meiner Kindheit das weckt erinnerungen.
Das Game macht mega spaß
