Silverfall

Silverfall is an isometric action RPG for people who like gathering gear, clearing hostile maps, and nudging a party through quests and combat. By our assessment, it does that work best when the player enjoys the rhythm of loot, attribute choices, and steady exploration more than polished spectacle. The drawback is the familiar one for this kind of game: combat can feel repetitive, and older action RPG systems tend to ask for tolerance of backtracking and inventory fuss. In practice it is the sort of game that rewards poking into every corner and comparing one weapon or spell against another. It sits closer to the long, slightly rough European fantasy RPG tradition than to streamlined modern action games. Silverfall is for players who want a midweight campaign and do not mind some age in the design.
