Best iOS Exclusive, Period. – Silversword Review

People buy Nintendo to play Mario and Zelda. They buy Sony to play Uncharted. And if they’re smart, they’ll buy Apple to play Silversword! I have played a lot of games on my iPhone. Mostly RPGs. Dungeon crawlers, CRPGs, JRPGs, ARPGs, roguelikes, puzzle and board games, CCGs, the list goes on. To be sure there are some strong ports on this system (Baldur’s Gate 2 for example), but there is no better native iOS game than Silversword. PERIOD. To be fair, this is mostly a rip off of original Bard’s Tale. If you like BT then you will, unequivocally, enjoy Silversword as well. Still, developers have been ripping off BT for decades, yet NONE of them have done it with the precision and polish of Silversword. Not in any year, on any platform. This is all the more surprising since, frankly, mobile is not a platform known for its high quality releases. Which brings me to my final point. Dev... any plans on a PC port?? I think your target audience is not really on iOS. You would definitely have a market on Steam though, maybe even better on GOG since that’s where many of the classics live these days. Silversword definitely compares favorably to many of the indie dungeon crawlers in the $10 ~ $20 range. Just something to think about... Thanks for all your hard work on this absolutely fantastic game. :)
