Silent Hope

Hardcore Gamer Jeremy Peeples

Silent Hope is an outstanding dungeon crawler and one of the few on the market that are easy to recommend for players either burned by prior games or who are completely new to the genre. Having so many different kinds of characters to play as keeps every run fresh and encourages the player to not only keep trying with another run, but do so with a different character with every failure to see if their outcome changes.

Silent Hope takes some time to get started but provides a solid dungeon-crawling experience. Seven heroes gives you a variety of playstyles and you have several options for customisation.

Since it was released, Diablo 3 has reigned as the top of my most-played titles on Nintendo Switch. I’m a loot fiend, hopelessly obsessed with finding bits and bobs. Being able to lounge in bed with a cup of coffee to one side and the fan blowing on my person on the other is just a heavenly, no, orgasmic experience. Since that fateful day in 2018, a slew of impersonators have come out, attempting so badly to emulate that formula. I gobbled each one up, too. Some manage to nail it, but there...

At the end of the day, how you feel about Silent Hope will depend on how big a fan of classic isometric dungeon crawlers you are. At it’s heart it’s a pure experience that encourages experimentation and learning a variety of playstyles, but this comes at the cost of all the extra bells and whistles.

Silent Hope starts out being a lot of fun, but you quickly see the peak of its potential—then it constantly pushes you down some valleys and into walls.

From XSEED Games and Marvelous, taking place in the Rune Factory universe comes Silent Hope, an isometric action RPG dungeon-crawler. The adorable visuals, gorgeous character design and sound are lovely, giving an engaging fantasy anime ambience. Along with some recognizable elements from Rune Factory like woolies and those familiar cows, Silent Hope is cuteness overload. Though overall, a little lacking.

Silent Hope is a fun time-sink if you enjoy dungeon-crawling RPGs, but the entertainment only lasts for a short time when the game offers a mostly repetitive, bland experience
