Developed by Strategic Simulations and published by WizardWorks Software, Secret of the Silver Blades arrived on the Commodore 64 as a role-playing game.
It is part of the Gold Box series; on the C64 you can also try Gateway to the Savage Frontier, Death Knights of Krynn and Pool of Radiance. Strategic Simulations also made Questron, War of the Lance and Computer Baseball for the C64.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the C64 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Secret of the Silver Blades is like
Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.
Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
