"Silent Gear" is an interactive sci-fi thriller by Lee Yuan, where your choices control the story. It’s text-based–without graphics–and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
With the constant economic downturn and conflicts, the United States had officially lost its superpower title in the year 2032.
Russia and China have risen together and created the New Unified Communist Party (NUCP); they have dominated most of Asia and parts of Europe in terms of economy and political influence. They are the undisputed new super power.
Without the support from the United States, the ISIS terrorists seized almost all of the middle east. The oil production in Saudi Arabia and other natural resources in the region are now all under ISIS control. They renamed themselves as Holy Islamic Liberation Organization (HILO). Their massive increase of wealth has a devastating effect on all democratic nations.
In a desperate effort to maintain balance, NATO has created the Augmented Reconnaissance and Operations Corp (AROC) to counter the new threats.
The story begins on your AROC academy graduation day. This is an interactive story with elements of romance, betrayal and survival, complete with a prologue, three Episodes and multiple endings. Your choices will determine the fate of your squad as well as your own.
The game also contains 4 mini games: Greedy Banker Dice, Cho Han Bakuchi, Gunship boss battle and Mech Suit boss battle.

Has potential, but writing needs work...

To summarize my criticism, this game has very creative mini-games and combat sequences, an interesting enough premise, and some cool world-building, but reading through dialogue becomes very painfully awkward early on. I played until just after the second mission. I haven’t played as a female character, so I can’t speak to that experience, but as a male character there is not really any opportunity given for your character to develop a platonic friendship with the male npcs, or at least not up to the point where I quit. On the other hand, the two main female characters I had the chance to interact with have very one-dimensional personalities, and seem only to serve as sex interests. What I mean by this is that, very quickly, you know more about their body type than you do about their philosophies and motivations, and the dialogue is very unrealistic. This might sound harsh but frankly it feels catered to a horny pubescent boy’s ideal female interactions. I’m a 30 year old guy, and I just couldn’t feel an interest in playing this character. After your second mission, there is a female character who you have no option of avoiding. She is pretty immature and forward for a character who is supposed to be a highly educated and professional adult, and even if you pick the most hostile dialogue options with her, she is still coming into your room every night. If the premise of a story includes that you are playing as a man with low willpower and extreme sexual desperation, then this can be excused, but for this game it’s just really awkward and distracting. If the writer wants to make a story that involves a lot of risqué behavior in what is otherwise a story about being in an elite futuristic military force, that’s fine, but I don’t think this is how it’s done. Others have commented on the spelling and grammar but that’s the last thing I would address. I just think the writer needs some outside perspective on how to write natural characters.
Straight poop from an old dude.

I SO very much wanted to give a five star review!.... Well, you don’t always get what you want. Growing up I LOVED CYOA books. Silent Gear has rekindled that love. Even if it has some real issues. The story line is great. A good mix of Sci-fi, Action, and Suspense! The pacing is decent, the characters are engaging, and there is opportunity for personal investment. However, there is so much editing and continuity work needed! Don’t get me wrong, I very much enjoyed the whole thing. But it could have been SO much more with a little bit of polishing!
Pretty good game I guess.

All you guys complaining about the boss battles are just mad that you can't beat them. I found out pretty easy to beat the bosses and I thought that this was a pretty good game. I was wondering if you would actually make the chronomancers plz. I'm a big fan of these types of games. The storyline was pretty good but I'm giving it four stars because of grammatical errors.

I love this game but my only complaint is that it doesn't continue on, please make a sequel or something
Rigged

Boss battles are rigged where even if you destroy their systems they can still use them but if yours get destroyed you cant. Therefore the ai spams attacks you cant defend against but you cant do the same
Amazing

This may be a text based game but it is one of the best out there using vivid author like imagery to fully immerse you complete with multiple choices throughout the journey to decide yours and others fate and futures this game actually Had my heart pounding at twists and turns and found myself hoping certain actions to come upon certain characters I guarantee if you're into choose your own adventure kind of games this will satisfy you it leaves on a cliffhanger but they are working on another and you'll be craving it like me I promise.
The best role playing game

I just want to say this is my first review for a game but If I could pick anything I wouldn't because this is a ten out of ten game that deserves more people to play it.
