action
Silversword is set in the game world Tarnak, which is currently being overrun by monsters and orcs. The player takes control of a group of adventurers who come together in the ruined Cranbourgh Castle to avert the danger posed by the hordes of monsters. You make your way to the last free city of Annsharbour, which is besieged by the orcs. On the way there, the adventurers have to find their way through the hordes of monsters and also explore dark dungeons.
Gameplay
The adventure group consists of seven members whose character class and values are determined at the beginning of the game. Each character can belong to one of the seven races: humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, gnomes, high men and barbarians. Each race has its own unique characteristics that make themselves felt in the game. Each character can allocate attribute points to the following attributes: strength, intelligence, luck, constitution and dexterity. In addition, each character belongs to a character class. A total of eleven character classes are available for this: warrior, paladin, thief, bard, hunter, monk, summoner, magician, sorcerer, sorcerer and archmage.
Many game elements were taken from the game series The Bard's Tale . As with the classics, the magic works via magic points that are used up during casting.
During the adventure, the characters have to solve various riddles or puzzles in order to be able to enter all parts of the game world. The dungeons are also often provided with traps.
