    Be warned : Silverfall installation is broken as hell on Steam. Original game contain Tagès system protection. It seem Steam version never corrected about that. If you want to play bundle, always install game in that order : 1--> Silverfall (don't check files integrity 100% because installation is neverending looping) 2--> Silverfall Earth Awakening (SEA) 3--> after SEA install, check file integrity until you reach 100% To play game, always run SEA instead of Silverfall. You'll get all…

    "Let's see ya dance, ya ugly scab!" I've started another game of D&D with some lovely friends of mine, and decided to play another bard. Meet Elias Silverfall, a dwarven sailor that's recently been taken off ship due to a very mysterious accident. He's off to make his own fortune, and survive.

    Silverfall is one of those games I always wanted to buy at the game store but never pulled the trigger on. It sat on the shelf with Divine Divinity, another game I always wanted to buy but something else had more of my attention. Having now played the latter and just finished this game I can safely recommend that no one play this game and instead play Divine Divinity if you're looking for a hidden gem. Silverfall isn't bad but it's terribly mundane, I only ever encountered one crash and…

    BEFORE YOU BUY, PLEASE READ THIS!!! First off, this game is 11 gigs on the hard drive. WHY?!?!? It's an old game, why would an old game need over 11 gigs? The original game is 8 gigs. This is already fouled up in so many ways. When you buy this game, the game won't work right away, there's a Steam bug that prevents you from playing the game until you do a few things. 1.) You don't need to buy the original "Silverfall" game, however, it is required 2.) This is an expansion pack that goes with…

    I loved the base game, though hated this stand alone expansion. Basically, if you also own the base game it allows you to play it with the expansion updates. Still, if you already played it, then you can just import your character from base Silverfall to Earth Awakening expansion, play with a 45 level character, or choose from the two new races provided: Dwarves and the Lizardmen. This sounds good enough in theory, but... First of all the crafting system that was added to the expansion is just…

    I've been playing Silverfall ever since it was released on steam. I love RPG games, and most of all i love RPG games with a good story and sidequests to it, that makes Silverfall and Silverfall: Earth Awakening very good and on the same time the motion in it, it's the first RPG i ever saw where there is so smooth motion to it, and that the people "ragdolls" When they get killed, even the enemies. the loot drop style is about the same as Diablo, which i also love a lot! to be honest, there is…

    I've loved this game since the boxed version of Silverfall, when I could barely run it. I highly recommend adding this to the base game for the sheer tonnage of content and improvements. Supports higher resolutions, but the font size becomes microscopic. Still looks good, and plays great. Feels like your own personal MMO. Character developement still shines with tech vs. nature decisions, and racial abilities. Helpful companions, a vast world to explore, and tons of steampunk, and…

    Im definately recommending this game if you like dungeon siege, and also I got it to work by reading posts in the discussions on the Silverfall (first game) page. If it was easy for me then it can be for you too. I bought both games as both were on sale, turns out you need both to run. I have win7 (x64), Nvidea gt 630m and i7 . My laptop is about 6years old now so not surprised it can handle this old game. Install the first game, install nvidea legacy driver, install expansion game. From…

    This is a very old RPG game with a lot of strange little quirks. The enemies scale with your level making the game difficulty incredibly punishing. If you know how to play the game well this isn't a concern as any character type, properly equipped and built, can complete the full game in an hour on the hardest difficulty. There is no information on how stats work, and some skills are broken. The crafting system is a great example as a lot of the enchants don't do what they say they do. If you…

    The Earth Awakening improves on many problematic aspects of the main game, adding a big chunk of map, changing the UI, the way the camera works (which is a huge improvement compared to the original game), adding a possibility to move with WASD (which again rescues you in may situations and solves problems from the base game) and a bunch of skills. But it comes with its own problems. The game crashes frequently on maps with high number of enemies, especially the Etherea's library and the Nexus.…

    I have some hardcore nostalgia for this game on PSP, it was simple but very focused, all abilities were actual abilities with special effects (bleed, haste, poison, regen) and were effective with even just a few points so on PSP it really encouraged you to weave abilities on any build to maintain buffs and debuffs. Additionally the only prerequisite for leveling abilities is your character's current level so you can skip and pick specific abilities without having to take any that won't help…

    Official Multiplayer Servers seems to be permanently down, seems also that you'll not find support form producers, so this game isn't what it is promised to be. So if you search something like a multiplaying based on servers I suggest you to get something different (I would point to Titan Quest). That's a shame because multiplaying would have been great in this game. There are also other bothering problems that you can ignore, like getting stuck in simple little rocks or can't jump down from…

    Short review after completing the game: Silverfall: Earth Awakening is an expansion/standalone game to the first one set immediately after the main events of the first game. I will be short, is this game better then the first one, yes. Is it still a bad game, sadly also yes. All the main cons from the first game still apply to this one (see my review for Silverfall) so i cannot recommend this game. However that being sad this game does bring some improvements.

    The game had bugs since release, but still, I'm replaying it because I found this game in an action RPG bundle way back (DVD box mind you) and remembered it. I still will recommend it because it's an hidden gem, may you be willing to look beyond the flaws. The game is a mix of Diablo with a bit of titan quest for stats/gear stat requirements in a cel shaded artstyle. If you side with either nature or technology through quests, you also get access to faction gear and skill tree. Want to use…

    A nice expansion adding lotsa content. First of all, it enchanes the base game. You have more control over the camera, and you can use WASD-movement. There are a couple more skills, a couple more effects for looted equipment, two more playable races. The autoleveling for enemies is limited, so now you're able to surpass them at some point. Blacksmithing skills sadly use regular skillpoints which you should rather invest in your regular fighting abilities, but if you have skillpoins to spare…

    This game is addicting, the special graphics look and game play will keep you coming back too it. You need to buy silverfall and this for it all to work correctly. The weapon effects give off an awesome glow and its especially fun to play while its night time in game. Definitely fun game with a different look ! You also earn heroes as you play. Managing your inventory is more of a drag and drop thing, so if your ok with that you ll like the game.

    Great Game, worth having both, but this a stand alone.. You do not need the 1st game, however, you will start at level 40+ and the story is a continuation so you won't know past events, but you will make new events happen. there is no good and evil in the game, rather nature and machine.. quests you do will change the game and game-play. nature builds with land and all wood based ect... machine destroys the land but gives you strong weapons. Great idea. worth a check.

    This is a game to play if you've played through the bigger arpgs. This is a little more niche with a convoluted plot and lesser controls. It's still a decent game though and is fine for several hours of fun. It also mixes in a little choice and consequence with nature vs tech.

    Silverfall: Earth Awakening is a substantial standalone expansion that builds upon the foundations of the original Silverfall by broadening its systems, world, and thematic ambitions. Developed by Monte Cristo and published by Focus Entertainment, the game represents a distinctly mid-2000s approach to action RPG design, one that prioritizes scale, customization, and player agency over streamlined presentation. Even today, it stands as an interesting snapshot of an era when ARPGs were…

    Once past the prologue, the constant spawning of groups of foes a few meters apart (mind, not exagerating) makes the game something of a chore. A real pity that lack of balance, and a waste of good art design. But anyway the game is entertaining all the same if you persist.
