Silversword App Reviews

I just discovered this a few days ago and have already played for hours. What a beautiful tribute to my favorite game ever, Bards Tale. Thank you!!

Great game, interesting story and characters, fun items and spells/skills, and many areas to explore.

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. 🤷‍♂️

This is @chrlpolk from the Silversword forums. Yep, I’m running through this game again! Just as fun as the first time through years ago.

Thoroughly enjoyable game with lots of old school feel. Problem solving, grinding, etc. Great job! Hoping for the flooded isles expansion!

Mario built a truly amazing game bringing elements of all my classic favorites (Bard’s Tale, Wizardry). I want more!!!

I played the original Bard’s tale on the Apple IIe and C64 in the 80’s. Silversword definitely scratches that nostalgia itch. Very well done!!!

Love it. Played BT on my C64. I’ve been looking for it again for years. Excellent game.

…with a surprising number of the same problems Bard’s Tale had. (The Bard is an almost-required member of the party, but, just as in BT, he is also next to useless in combat, except as a tackling dummy. Bards in full plate? Thieves are an annoyance for most of the game but can’t be done without. And so on.) Still well worth playing.

Lots of fun goodies and monsters galore

I had a few issues with purchases that are all worked out now. I’m old and really love games like this. They’re hard to find. Reminds me of playing games like this decades ago with friends. My apologies, Mario.

Played Bard’s Tale way back in the day on my Commodore 64. This is a great throw back game. I bought it years ago to play on my iPad and completed the game and now I see there have been some additions to it. Also I now have an iPhone as well so I am back playing this game again.

This game brings me back to my younger self and games I enjoyed that took a lot of patience and some thought. I decided to try this after so many years of more hectic gaming (mmo’s etc) and I’m enjoying it very much.

Took me back to old games of wizardry and might and magic. Old school D&D.. love it and thank you for putting it out there. Played shen you first developed and started playing again this week. Wish there was more like this out there.

Well designed well conceived Maximizes the fun of a classic RPG while reducing the time consuming drudgery

Can’t say enough how much of a gem the olde school RPG is. Love everything about it. I wish there was a second game after this one.
