Silverfall RPG Blends Sorcery, Science

Video game publisher Atari announced today the release of a new 3D action role-playing game developed by Monte Cristo Games. The game is called Silverfall and it is priced around $40.

Silverfall, which is available on the Windows platform only, puts gamers into a fantasy world which blends science and sorcery. Gamers take on quests and kill opponents as they venture through the world of Nelwe. Two non-player characters can join the primary player.

Silverfall offers a character building system of advancement and equipment that allows for customization of characters. Gamers, choosing from four races and nine skill sets encompassing more than 130 individual skills, can develop characters such as scientist troll magicians, elemental elf warriors, or mercantile goblins. Gamers will play through a 25-hour main quest, numerous side quests and two multiplayer modes, player-versus-player and co-operative. A game editor is also included, allowing one to create their own adventures to play alone or with friends.

"Engaging, immersive and imaginative, Silverfall is a unique addition to the genre of role-playing games," said Stephen Baer, senior product manager, Atari, Inc, in a statement. "Having been among the top five of GameSpot.com’s ‘Top 10 PC games’ list for the last week, Silverfall is certainly a must-have for PC and RPG fans alike."

This PC game turns Mega Man Battle Network into an idle RPG
Berserk B.I.T.S. windows appear on a PC.

Indie studio Berserk Boy Games has announced its next project, Berserk B.I.T.S. Set to launch in early access later this year via Steam, the browser-based game turns Mega Man Battle Network into an idle RPG.

Berserk Boy Games made a splash earlier this year with Berserk Boy, its critically acclaimed throwback to classic Mega Man games. We recently listed it as one of the best games released in the first half of 2024. The studio's next project will continue to build in that universe and deliver pixel art nostalgia, but in a very different genre.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake might divide retro and modern RPG fans
An RPG party stands in a throne room in Dragon Quest 3: HD-2D Remake.

After a long wait, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake is finally coming to PC and consoles -- and yes, that’s its official title. The NES revival launches on November 14 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. An HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest 1 and 2 is set to follow in 2025.

Ahead of its release date reveal during today’s Nintendo Direct, I got a deeper look into all the changes coming to the game, as well as a bit of hands-on playtime. Along with making some key quality of life tweaks, the remake also features some radical changes to story and structure that will bridge it to the first two Dragon Quest games (both of which happen after 3, chronologically). Those modern touches are paired with very faithful decisions that leave the core combat of the original surprisingly untouched – a move that may divide purists and newer RPG fans.
Modern meets retro
First revealed in 2021, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remaster is a project from Octopath Traveler 2 studio Team Asano and Artdink. We already knew that it would give an NES classic a fresh look thanks to Team Asano's signature HD-2D art style, but details on the game have been scarce over the past few years. That seemed surprising for a remake like this, but it turns out that the project is much more ambitious than originally advertised.
