the manual for the first time. iOS devs just
don't make games on this scale.
It's such a poetic app."

Totally Agree

I totally agree with other that this game has the classic RPG feel. I’ve played all of the old school games in the past. I got the game quite a while ago and played it through the first beginners quest but then set it down for a while. I’ve looked and tried other game but couldn’t find anything else that gave me the old school feel. I just recently picked the game up again and find myself not being able to put it down. Is there grinding? Yes, but that’s part of the classic feel. I also like the feel of leveling up your characters trying to get the best stats possible. One question, with the new game feature am I able to play multiple games at once or will I lose the game I’m playing if I start a new one? I want to thank you for creating this classic masterpiece and hope you continue to grow the story.

Best iOS Exclusive, Period.

People buy Nintendo to play Mario and Zelda. They buy Sony to play Uncharted. And if they’re smart, they’ll buy Apple to play Silversword!

I have played a lot of games on my iPhone. Mostly RPGs. Dungeon crawlers, CRPGs, JRPGs, ARPGs, roguelikes, puzzle and board games, CCGs, the list goes on. To be sure there are some strong ports on this system (Baldur’s Gate 2 for example), but there is no better native iOS game than Silversword. PERIOD.

To be fair, this is mostly a rip off of original Bard’s Tale. If you like BT then you will, unequivocally, enjoy Silversword as well. Still, developers have been ripping off BT for decades, yet NONE of them have done it with the precision and polish of Silversword. Not in any year, on any platform.

This is all the more surprising since, frankly, mobile is not a platform known for its high quality releases. Which brings me to my final point. Dev... any plans on a PC port?? I think your target audience is not really on iOS. You would definitely have a market on Steam though, maybe even better on GOG since that’s where many of the classics live these days. Silversword definitely compares favorably to many of the indie dungeon crawlers in the $10 ~ $20 range. Just something to think about...

Thanks for all your hard work on this absolutely fantastic game. :)

Hello!

Thank you very much for your kind words and for enjoying the game! I don't plan on porting the game to any other platform - there would be too much work involved for a single person. The remake of "The Bard's Tale 1 - Tales Of The Unknown" is pretty good I think, so PC players should try it out. I can't find words to express how much I long for a Wizardry Remake on iOS, or something like the old SSI games (Pool Of Radiance, Champions Of Krynn etc.). Would eventually do it by myself, but I'm afraid this mountain is too steep to be climbed alone. Anyway - I hope you will have many more fun hours playing the game.

Kind regards
Mario

Outstanding achievement!!

This is a strategy adventure game. You build your party and plan your strategy and actually have to think. Although it's a little old school (it's based on a CRPG / dungeon crawl game called The Bard's Tale from the '80s) it's quite immersive, and you don't need to know anything about the Bard's Tale to play (although you should have a basic understanding of D&D style games). This is a lot of fun and well worth the cost, just don't expect video or MMORPG things. This is a solo effort based on pictures and text, with combat taking place in rounds. The advantage is that you have some time to plot strategy, with different tactics working better in different scenarios. When you're done, you'll love it enough to buy the "Rise of the Dragons" expansion!
