It's gorgeous (if you have a high-end system), it's fun, and it has some truly unique features that set it apart from the pack. With time, there might even be some patches that clear up the remaining oversights, like the interface and the auto-save.
-
84The number of choices are amazing; from armor, to skill set, and NPC party members you have thousands of possible choices.
-
80Its skill tree, with powers dependent on the levels of other abilities, provides an innovative approach even though it can be viewed as limiting from a certain perspective.
-
Much care has been taken with character, monster and environment design, so even if it is all a bit boring and repetitive, and insists on making obvious statements, it sure is pretty to look at.
-
73The game has a few problems but has a nice backdrop of multiplayer options, including mods, and has a nice look.
-
72With a little more polish, Silverfall could have made a run at toppling the genre's heavyweights. [June 2007, p.68]
-
70If you're looking for an enjoyable hack-and-slash epic to relieve a little tension running quests for idle NPCs and nailing Zombie Trolls with a 90lb Mechanical Warhammer for an ultimately fairly hollow reward then this may just be the game you're looking for.
-
70Silverfall doesn't offer anything dynamically new, but it's a fun world full of things to whack with a satisfying storyline and well thought out characters and skill development.
-
And I say in conclusion (with great sorrow and apologies to the late Lloyd Bentsen): "Silverfall, I played Diablo II. I knew Diablo II. Diablo II was a friend of mine. And Silverfall [sigh], you're no Diablo II."
-
70When I first started playing, I was impressed with the game, as it seemed the first real advancement since the "Diablo" genre was created years ago. After one play-through, though, I'm done with it.
-
68An unexpectedly charming diversion of a game, but one that ultimatey fails to deliver on its early promise. A shame, really. [Apr 2007, p.62]
-
68An action-RPG hack n' slash that doesn't live up to the promise of its setting. There is some fun to be had, but there are enough questionable moments to keep this from being a solid title.
-
If you are a fan of action RPGs the by all means give Silverfall a look. It certainly isn't a bad game, but games like these are an acquired taste and are very difficult to recommend without first referring people to similar and ultimately better alternatives.
-
66Frequent levelling and plentiful and varied loot give Silverfall a definite momentum; the blend of worlds and the inventiveness of some of the creatures give it a modicum of novelty. This is an easy game to get swept along by, but, largely because of those serried foes, it's also an easy game to walk away from. [Apr 2007, p.82]
-
65It's not a bad game, but Silverfall's enormous potential and pretty graphics are overshadowed by its weak story, poor interface, and frustrating design elements.
-
65Silverfall is not particularly a bad game, it just is not a groundbreaking game in a genre that has had several heavyweights that still shine to this very day. The game has a handful of irritating bugs that you would typically never see in other games, and ultimately hurts the final product. There is still plenty of enjoyment to be found with Silverfall though.
-
65While Silverfall's artictic style and nature vs technology theme do set it aside from its rivals, the game still feels a bit rough around the edges. [May 2007, p.70]
-
60Action RPG veterans who are looking for a new challenge for their over-muscled index fingers could do a hell of a lot worse than investing a few hours (and indeed a few pounds) in Silverfall. It's no giant of the genre, but it's a pretty decent snack between meals.
-
60The skills and experience system may not be new but they don't get anything wrong either and if you make it to the end then you'll find that Silverfall is a satisfying nut to crack.
-
It's sad when the best thing you can say for a game is that it's not broken, but that's about as positive as I can be about Silverfall. [May 2007, p.93]
-
There are better titles on the shelf(and on this page)for fans of the form to be spending their money on. [Apr 2007, p.64]
-
There are other interface issues and annoyances in Silverfall, but I'll spare you from going into them in detail. Overall they all conspire to add too much frustration to Silverfall and the game's interesting elements just can't compete with this.
-
The story is compelling enough to keep the interest of the story driven player, while adequately supplying the action enthusiast plenty to do.
-
60By making the start of the game so poorly balanced and infusing the whole experience with the control scheme from hell, Monte Cristo ensured that it took a certain amount of will power to play through far enough to get to the good bits which surely isn't good enough.
-
60A game that tries exceedingly hard to avoid any attempt at innovation, or for that matter, any pretense of being fun.
-
58Perhaps this genre has simply run its course, but Silverfall proves the old adage: no one out Diablos "Diablo."
-
55Considering it doesn't really do anything new for the action-RPG genre, and screws up aspects of the genre games released a decade ago were doing quite well, there's little reason to involve yourself.
-
Silverfall is a title that had some potential, but suffers from a lack of quality control and an abundance of poor development decisions.
-
50The overall impression is of a game which was created in pieces like a puzzle, and then put together by someone who didn't quite have the full picture on the front of the box.
-
50Slogging through the beginning of the game -- before you can allocate points to the good skills or fulfill the quest requirements for companions -- can take its toll on you.
-
40Fix the navigation system, ease back on the creature auto-leveling, patch the game, and you'd be closer to something that rated three or even four stars than this unfortunate mess of a "Diablo" wannabe.
-
30How do you get "Diablo" wrong? It's like screwing up tic-tac-toe or something. But that's just what Monte Cristo's done with Silverfall, an epically crummy action-RPG with gimpy controls and bugs that'd make a flophouse mattress blush.
