Silverfall – PC Game

Silverfall Concept Art piece

Oooh, now this looks like a cross between Arcanum and Dungeon Seige! Silverfall is a mostly high-camera’ed PC RPG, set in the fantasy world of Nelwë – deep in a war for hearts and minds between technology (with a distinct steam and gunpowder feel) and magic. With flying cities held aloft with zeppelins, to mechanical arms (both meanings of the word), and an industrial revolution sparked by the invention of the steam engine by the goblins – there’s a lot of fantasy-Steampunk to enjoy. You get to choose your path, technology or magic, as you progress – but alas I fear there will be only one side to that choice for me. I mean – good gracious – if given the choice between lycanthropy or Steampunk implants, sign me up for a leg that needs oiling any day!

Most intriguing is that it claims to be both LAN and internet multiplayer out of the box (so sayeth Worthplaying) – now that interests me greatly. A co-operative Steampunk fantasy, with mechanical dragons to slay and a city to shape in my own steam-centric views, could be rather pleasant to say the least. I’m downloading the demo at the moment but it is being something other than hasty – still, with a March release, it should be too long to wait either way! Thank you very much, Mr Vasant!
