Silver Tale is an amazing combination match 3 and quest type game. The king is gravely ill and is dying and the court healers tried just about everything to cure him all to no avail. There is however, a magical, silver holly plant that is hidden in the deepest chasms and darkest caves in the kingdom, and with a large enough supply the healers will be able to create an elixir that will save the king. You play the game as an adventurer who accepts the challenge and thus begins your journey as you set off to find the hidden silver holly.

The voice overs are one on the best parts of the game with the narration probably some of the best I have heard in games. If you have a previous game from this developer, Runefall, you already have an idea of how top-notch Silver Tale will be as well. The characters you will meet as you travel the land are marvelous and created to perfection. When I first opened the game it had black bars on either side but when I unchecked the maintain ratio aspect the screen filled my monitor. I didn’t notice that anything was too out of proportion when the screen was in the stretched mode and since I would rather not have black bars when playing a game I chose the stretched mode.

As you play through the game you will meet various characters who will need your help with different quests. Once you have filled their requests you can return to those areas on the board to acquire different objects that you might need to move forward. Collect resources that will come in handy as you move through your adventure. Be sure that you pay attention to the needs of your traveling companion as well or you might just find yourself in trouble. You have the option to play the game in relaxed mode if that is how you like to play but you still have goals to meet that require you to complete the boards in a certain number of moves. As you play you will also discover areas of the screen that will open additional boards to complete. Even if you select the relaxed mode you will earn three stars if you meet the level’s goals.

I am a fan of Match 3 games if they are well-crafted and Silver Tale definitely fits the bill. There is a lot to discover as you travel the kingdom and you are sure to have hours of fun as you fulfill quests and find the silver holly to save the king. After playing only a short time in the demo I knew that Silver Tale was a game I wanted to add to my gaming library. Please try the demo to see if this is a game you will enjoy as well. Show less

I recommend this game!

One of the best Match 3 games to come out in awhile! So much to do and in little moves as possible. No timers, just restricted amount of times you can move to complete the mission or you can play in relax mode. This one has great graphics, voice overs, game mechanics and game play! Definitely going to get this one with a punch code!!

I recommend this game!

I really love this game. My one tiny reservation is that number of moves limitation. I'm sure that I am in the minority on this, but I would have preferred that there be an unlimited moves option for those times that you just occasionally wanted to play in a very relaxing mood with a nice bottle of wine, etc, etc.

My only criticism of the great Runefall (developers' impressive preceding effort) was that you could not save the game and come back later. That is not the case with Silver Tale.

I highly recommend this game. Show less

Wow, Silver Tale is really fantastic! I was expecting another game like all the other match-3's, but this one actually does a lot of new and interesting things. It has some similarities with Runefall, which is made by the same developer, but the main mechanic is very different. The boards don't move when you make matches like they did in Runefall, but you can move around between different boards so the levels are larger than the screen. Plus it uses a more relaxing moves limit (instead of a time limit), so it doesn't feel as stressful.

I love that all the levels are on a map and are replayable, so you can go back to replay levels to find items you missed, or to get a higher score. There are tons of collectible items to find in levels, treasure chests to open with keys, special veins that hold extra resources when you match next to them, obstacles that you have to find specific items to get past. There are also alternate types of levels... some are like puzzle levels where you have to remove all the pieces from the board, and there are cave levels where you have to dig down through the dirt (reminds me of the mine levels in Bejeweld 3). And there are levels with portals where you need to drop the special items off the bottom of the board. There's always something to give you a change of pace from the normal levels.

There's even crafting, and quests, and tons of characters with spoken dialogue to meet. I thought Runefall had the most stuff to do of any game I'd played, but it seems like Silver Tale has even more. The map is huge and I've only just explored the first little area of it so far. Can't wait to see the rest! Show less

I recommend this game!

The developer made the great Runefall game I loved and played it for days and I was excited when I saw the new one by the team.
In my opinion these ones are the best match3 games I ever played.
If you want to collect all stars and the entire collection, you surely will play it for days. :-)

I recommend this game!

Silver Tale is an excellent, addictive and challenging game, with lots to do.

Large levels are split into compact, challenging boards, with other areas of the level locked until certain items are found. The main objective is to clear the red tiles. However, to be certain you have found every hidden item on the level, you will also need to clear grass and dirt tiles and other blocked tiles. ...Show more

Silver Tale is an excellent, addictive and challenging game, with lots to do.

Large levels are split into compact, challenging boards, with other areas of the level locked until certain items are found. The main objective is to clear the red tiles. However, to be certain you have found every hidden item on the level, you will also need to clear grass and dirt tiles and other blocked tiles. There is flexibility here; once all the red tiles are cleared across the level you can move on or stay on the level, time/moves permitting.

You will meet diverse characters in town and on the road, wanting your assistance in return for rewards. Voiceovers are delightful. There are items you can craft, artefact sets to complete and a horse to remember to feed and care for.

There is some familiarity to the wonderful Runefall, but Silver Tale succeeds that game in massive leaps and bounds.

Try it, buy it. You won't be disappointed. Show less

I love this type of match 3. After being addicted to Runefall I was excited to see this new one.
So much to do..... I love the variety in games and this one has it. Not just your typical match 3, you have to do things in between. Beautiful graphics, good storyline, it is just so much fun to play, never gets boring and you are constantly being challenged. Thank you for another winner.

I recommend this game!

Not your usual Match3. I like the story, the characters, the artwork and how you have to find items on the game field. Some Match 3 games can be boring. This is more fun!
