"I got goosebumps while reading through
the manual for the first time. iOS devs just
dont make games on this scale.
Its such a poetic app."

Pros and cons of Silversword app for iPhone and iPad
Silversword app good for
The only RPG worth playing on the appstore so far. Strongly inspired from the old Bards Tale, but with a convenient UI perfectly designed for our digital devices.
The difficulty is slightly too steep here and there, involving a bit too much grinding at times, and the storyline could be richer, but overall its nicely designed, with a few old school enigmas to figure out (or to check on forums).
Et flute, apres avoir tapé tout ca je mapercois que je viens de le taper en anglais.. Je ne saurais meme pas vous dire si le jeu est jouable en français dailleurs (je crois...). Jediterai quand j aurais un peu de temps.
Superb game! reminds me of the "wizardry" series - in a good way
brought Bards Tale into the modern age without sacrifizing too much of the classic charm. Perfect for 87 hours of playing (for me)
Does a very good job of capturing the spirit of the old Bards Tale games.
A real throwback to the early 90s. Ive been enjoying the game though found the race choices limited and very much as narrow focused as 1st and 2nd AD&D were. Three human options is plenty boring, at that rate you might as well gone with half-elves and half-orcs, added a little spice to that dull porridge. Still a very nice find and I could imagine a sequel would only expand brilliantly on a good starting point. Ill have my wallet ready.
I cannot remember when last I was addicted to such an extent. It makes one aware of the difference between a well thought out game and mere eye candy. It treads the perfect line between being challenging and frustrating. My only complaint is that the large manual is difficult to navigate. It would have been better to have had at least the option of PDF format.

Some bad moments
I used to play a similar 1st gen d&d game all the time... Great game, addicted!
This is just to let other blind users know that this game is not accessible with VoiceOver. It works, but the map just cannot be navigated without sight. I thought the game had potential, but I will have to pass. Too bad I spent money.
Edit: I tested the app again and it’s still not useable for me. People should not say games are accessible to the blind when they’re not, especially if you have to pay.
Waited 30 years for someone to bring this back! Totally obsessive hours of fun and adventure. Great for the brain-therapeutic, keeping me sharp, and thinking two steps ahead when operating in the "real" world. Highly recommend! Thank you Mario! For bringing this back!
Loved bards tale and this is the best Ive found (11 hrs into playing) since
This game totally rocks. The designer really hit it on the head with mixing the old d n d with new tech while keeping it interesting. Played 6 hrs straight when first got it n chomping at the bit to play again n again. This is the SKYRIM of apps!
This is a great retro rpg experience. They held true to the style of games gone by like Bards Tale and Wizardry. This is a very enjoyable game if you are looking to relive the good old days of computer RPGs. I would love to see more games like this.
