Excellent Old School RPG Fun
Lovingly recrafted game style from a bygone era. Not just for those who have played Bard's Tale but anyone who appreciates a D&D style build a party, kill the monsters, loot and level up cycle.
Maps are well designed with plenty of exploring to do and secrets to find. A very charming nostalgic throwback to 80s and 90s du goon explorers.
(Can't get the link to the item list in the Compendium to work though so currently sitting on a few limited use items I haven't figured out when to use yet...adds to the mystery I suppose)

Thank you very much! The link is outdated, please visit silversword.gaida.de and follow the wiki link. You'll find the item list there. Mine regards, Mario.
Amazing game!
For anyone that ever buys gold from the shop check your characters inventory for a bag of gold containing what ever amount you bought. Use the item and you now have your gold. I’m sure there is probably something that tells you to do this but I over looked it. As for the game gold isn’t really something you need to buy I just had a bad encounter with 7 skeletons after starting and my rock crawler died. I didn’t want to spend all my gold getting a res so I bought a bag of gold. Completely addicted to this game bought the expansion, the compendium, large storage expansion and the bank transfer. I’m all set (and I’m 9,500 gold richer after the res of my rock crawler). This game is absolutely amazing! Barely starting out and I’m already finding hidden things! 100 hours? I have a feeling it will be a lot more then that for me! This game, Dungeons of Chaos, The Quest (and expansions), Quest Lord , Pathos and Lootbox are my favorites for mobile.

Everything I hoped and more!
When I was a kid, I played bards tale on my Commodore. This game is better than that. It is really addictive. I love it so much. Thank you!

Great vintage RPG look and feel…
I love this game. It definitely has the old school Bard’s Tale I look and feel. The gameplay is challenging but not overwhelming. The dungeons are fun and a bit tricky. You do have to grind sometimes to level up but not to an annoying level. You don’t have to buy anything to finish the game but some of the in-game purchases are helpful and inexpensive. The expansion is just as good, with a new class and new skills to learn, thus keeping the gameplay fresh. I know I sound like president of the Silversword fan club but this game is a ton of fun. Wish there were additional expansions. Thanks!

Such a great game, again and again!
If you enjoy Dungeons and Dragons, Wizardry, The Bard’s Tale and similar, you will LOVE Silversword! I start a new game every year, just to replay with different character choices and strategies…and I have been playing this on and off for 11 years! Terrific story, awesome game mechanics, and amazing journey support from forums moderated by the developer! I wish a million people played this, so we could support the developer to make a follow up or another expansion! My dream would be this game allows for multiple players to play online together…one day Mario…get it and start playing - you will love it!

Incredible, unique. One of a kind masterpiece.
This extraordinary game truly deserves recognition. While it may have been styled to be similar to games likes bards quest, it goes beyond and creates its own world. Make sure you have bard in your party because the song they play also becomes the background music. Plus their songs are useful, for example one allows you to avoid random mobs while traveling (not bosses or key mobs). Turn it off if you want to grind, play it if you feel like traveling safely. The character creation is really beautiful and deep and you could spend hours figuring out how to perfect characters. Every character class is unique and useful. Unlike many games where you’re better off finding the best build, this game rewards a diversity of party members who serve different roles. My favorite party is Human Paladin, Dwarf Bard, Gnome Warrior, Hobbit Rogue, 2 Gnome spellcasters, and an Elf Hunter. Some people may prefer leaving a spot open for summons or temporary monsters that will join your party. That’s a lot of fun but not as powerful as another party member. In expansion, the warrior becomes the Dragoncaller. Note you are free to remove/add party members in town so make as many as you want and try them out! There is nothing lost by creating a character you don’t like because you can easily make knew ones and store your old ones for later.

Wonderful
Definitely brings back nostalgia for the old Bard’s Tale. Fun game so far. Beginning is a little tough if you take the random characters. Also choose the “modern” mode instead of classic. Super A+++ would buy again! Only thing is that online mentions a compendium to buy, and I can’t find where in the app or app store to buy it. 🤷♂️

Thank you very much for your kind words. After buying the Compendium via the shop, you can switch to it on the manual screen. Best regards, Mario
Give this developer an award NOW!
This is an ABSOLUTE gem! Im planning on purchasing EVERYTHING in the game to support this dev. Also, is there a Donate button? As a huge fan of Bards Tale, I see something way better! Thank you!
Great nostalgia with classic setup
Thoroughly enjoyable game with lots of old school feel. Problem solving, grinding, etc. Great job! Hoping for the flooded isles expansion!
First rate classic RPG with a huge world
I rarely write reviews, and I’ve enjoyed this game for years without writing one. If ever an app deserved a positive review, this is it.
I’ve played it 3 times now and am coming to the end of an adventure I started almost 6 months ago. I’m bummed… would love to keep it going, but now I know enough that the next time when I play Legend mode, I’m going to have a blast and create the most crushing characters ever.
Seriously, if you love old school RPGs, you haven’t played the best one ever until you’ve played Silversword. It’s simply the best game I’ve ever played on mobile.
