Not a bad game, but also just not good enough for your time & money EDIT: Adding context because there seems to be confusion on my gear progression point and loot issue. TL;DR, this game is fun if you REALLY like roguelites. There are seven characters to choose from and each have different weapons and abilities which allows for different levels of customization. However, some elements of the game feel painfully …

Fun little roguelike dungeon crawler with nice graphics and reminiscent of Dragalia Lost! However.. it's ONLY playable when using a controller or on Steam Deck. Having tried it originally with kb+m, it is absolutely awful to play. Perfectly compatible with Steam Deck as well.

I'm giving it a thumbs up, but i'd only really recommend it on a sale, 40 dollars for this is incredibly steep. Somewhere in the range of 20-25 dollars feels more appropriate. It's taken me a good while to really sort out how I feel on Silent Hope, and I think the long and short of my conclusion is: I simply wish this was more than it is. It feels like Silent Hope takes the basic groundwork from it's influences …

Silent Hope isn't a bad game, but it's no Binding of Isaac or Diablo. It's still a decent game for the Nintendo Switch, though whether or not you'd like it on PC might be another story. The TL:DR; is that it's about a 6.5 to 8 out of 10, depending on your preferences. Here are the factors that might sway you towards or away from this game: The Good: + The character classes and subclasses are all decently designed, …

72% of the 130 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Silent Hope. The complaint that keeps coming up: overpriced for the amount of content offered. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oninaki but playable, overpriced tho, wait till the price is 20 buxs or less.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not outright terrible, but horrifically overpriced for what it is. The gameplay loop itself is simple enough, and I have no problems with that. Enter dungeon, fight monsters, collect materials and blueprints, exit dungeon, craft and upgrade gear, rinse, repeat. The problem however is that for however simple the gameplay loop is, the actual gameplay itself is equally as simple. Just spam attack until things die, occasionally use a skill, dodge sometimes. Really it's just not satisfying to play.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In my 9 1/2 hours of playing the game I always asked myself at what point the combat gets better and I get to use something other than basic attack + a few skills until I realized thats it. Thats the game. All in all the game felt incredibly shallow to a point where I wondered why I was even still playing. So I stopped. I would say buy it if it is heavily discounted (like less than 10€)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all let me say that this game is NOT a roguelike nor a roguelite. I dont have any idea why would people called this game roguelike/lite. This game is a dungeon crawler RPG similar to diablo, torchlight, grim dawn or PoE. its got a hub and a few dungeons to explore with boss on the last level/floor but with chibi anime character and so much simpler gameplay/build. The game gives you 7 characters with diff classes (wanderer, warrior, fighter, rogue, archer, caster, and farmer) each…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It feels like a mobile game ported to PC. While the gameplay is basic, the game seems overpriced for what it offers. I was able to reach the endgame in about 6 hours, but then had to grind for the remaining achievements. Also some achievement is faulty so it will be impossible for you to achieve it, please check it dev team of Marvelous Inc.: a Seasoned Professional and Legendary Hero Achievement

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awesome and has so much charm! I have more time, played the demo and got most classes a high level. It's a rogue like with base progression. You have multiple classes that you can play and switch out in the dungeon. You have level progression with your classes and items you find/unlock. It is 100% worth the price and I am having a blast!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're looking for a gameplay loop similar to Phantasy Star Online series, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles handheld series, etc, this can be the game to look into. This is a somewhat randomly generated dungeon crawler action rpg game. After you gone through all the dungeons, a higher difficulty unlocks which yields better drops and equipment going from Normal to Hard to Master difficulty. You have 7 heroes, each with their own playstyle and skills. Each character can learn up to 9 skills…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game seems so simple with a basic story to give some sort of reason to fight in a dungeon. I was drawn to it even though I thought I might get quickly bored with it. I watched reviews and game play so tried the demo and didn't want to stop playing. It just feels so fun. The Princess is extremely annoying she talks way too much about anything and everything, it's a non stop commentary, continually interrupting any deep concentration I have when trying to sort through gear and think on what…

(ฅ'ω'ฅ) Intro : In the enigmatic world of Silent Hope, players embark on a quest shrouded in mystery, guided by the ethereal presence of the Princess. This rogue-lite dungeon crawler, developed by Marvelous, has stirred quite a bit of anticipation in the gaming community. With seven unique heroes, an immersive storybook aesthetic, and the promise of combining elements from beloved titles like Rune Factory, it's easy to see why Silent Hope generated…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game looks and feels as if it were designed for mobile. The fighting (which is basically the only thing the player actually does aside from setting the other characters to do actions like farming) is shallow and boring. Gave is nearly 2 hrs of play time and it is awful. Not even worth the on sale price (£10.49), no less the £34.99 box price. There is background story to the characters which would be included in a handbook, so I guess digital only/PC players also loose out on what little…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Of the 7 playable chars theres 3 classes for each character, but its not any sort of choice thing, its a linear straight line basically: 1st class -> 2nd class at lvl 15 -> 3rd class whenever the heck you hellgrind enough to clear i guess the "true" final boss long after clearing the actual main story, which makes it feel extremely pointless and redundant. To make it worse, each "class" only have 3 skills, and you're only allowed to take 3 skills with you on a run, so theres a very real…

Please give it a try to this game it has a charm that is not very common to see these days, after finishing it I can say that I don't mind the price and to be honest there's AAA games at 80usd that has less depth than this game(pun not intended haha) I hope the future of this game is not silence :D 200 hours Update: Is 02/19/2024 and I really and I still believe in my early review but I could only recommend Silent Hope as of right now if the game is at 50% off since its clear that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Slow, monotonous... combat just isn't any fun compared to any of the many other isometric roguelikes. Thought maybe there'd be some interesting mechanics around the different classes, but you can just ignore them with little detriment. Even at $8, you should pass.

neutral · AI labelView post →TL;DR: A decently good story, stuck under a game that simply isn't that fun to play, due to HP sponge combat and time-wasting false path navigation with no way to just zoom out to see more of the map. Silent Hope is one of those games where if you can't invest in the story, the game won't appeal. And the story is spread out over the entirety of the game - so if you're not into dungeon crawlers, this won't keep your attention, because that's 95% of the game. Put simply: this is actually a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To be fair, Silent Hope is not bad. Only problem is the price $$ is high, (vs the game content). I bought it with 70% off at 16.46 CAD$ and I feel just a good amt for the game content. Yeah, recommend it with discount. Now for my actual review. The Good: - have keybind, that's good - smooth fluid battle, atks, skills and roll(evade) responds nicely - isometric 3d with map (and mini map), sweet not making me dizzy - got what you are looking for an RPG --> lvl up, skillup, drops, farm mats,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I might recommend it if it's on a drastic sale? It is absolutely not worth $40 at all. The premise is kind of interesting at first, but before you're even halfway through the game you'll be sick to death of the crafting stations. You always end up with way more materials than you need but you HAVE to keep making them if you want to level up your stations to... make more stuff. Honestly it's really repetitive. Each level is just a reskin, monsters are all just reskins of each other, nothing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really have no interest in dungeon crawling or roguelites, and I only picked this up because I saw woolies in the trailer so I was interested in finding out what kind of game it was firsthand. My initial impressions were positive, it's cute, the music is nice, and the combat was challenging enough. At a certain point I hit what felt like a wall of progression. I was either going to need to grind or to git really gud to progress. So, I decided to interact with the game's selling point:…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, but the princess talks too much! Ex) Every crafting menu she has multiple things to say. Maybe need an option to turn off the princess's idle talk. Can't have multiple save files, very strange for PC game. Need to be able to pet the cow!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the game is an absolute sweetheart. Really relaxing to unwind into, it finds me when I feel I can't game. I'll do a few floors, else a run to the next bonfire. Single stick, but multiple buttons. Good for those who are looking to unwind, perhaps have challenges in their everyday life, or those who are new to games. Even folks who would love something a little bit retro. I played and loved it on Switch, and here I am playing it again on PC.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun and well done for what it is, a solid 7/10, but with Co-Op, could have been a 9.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is good, however it lacks content. Aside from the lack of content, the UI is very annoying. Producing items is very painful because you can only craft three items per a slot and for more items, you will have to scroll down and re-select the item. It wasn't too bad for the early level when you only have a very few slots. 77 hours in and I finished the game plus a few re-dives into the abyss. IT GETS BORING AFTER THAT BECAUSE THERE NO DEPTH IN THIS "ABYSS"...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, couldn't stomach this until even the "end" of the main story. Silent Hope draws you in with an artstyle much like Bravely Default, a interesting fairy-tale-like premise, and easy-to-understand combat in a roguelike dungeon. I played this at a PAX event and had been looking forward to trying it, and bought it on Switch. It was indefinitely shelved because the convenience of PC play pretty much killed my desire to drag the Switch out of its bag. Later on, I found out it had…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, but it is grindy. Combat is shallow and generally so is the story. I can really only recommend it between 50 to 75% discounted. I think this would be a fun game on a handheld on the steamdeck on the go. Budget-wise i think they spent too much on voice acting and on that opening anime music video. More money should have been invested in making the gameplay loop more robust. The game has a gimmick regarding character switching mid-dungeon. It allows you apply stat buffs based on the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While in the end I decided on a thumbs up, this is one of the harder recommends I've made when reviewing steam games, and I had to think about it. I got this game because it looked like cute, fun little roguelite RPG that reminded me of Dragalia Lost. I like the different characters and playstyles decently, as well as the core conceit of exploring deeper and deeper into a randomly generated abyss and then building up your base between expeditions. I can't call the game bad, and I ultimately did…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →while this is from my beloved gamestudio marvelous - its about as deep as a puddle in terms of mechanics. jobs are incredibly simple. they all have 3 buttons, and perform about the same - the only real distinction in their playstyles is how far your weapon reaches and how much stagger it deals. every job is the same three skills - Attack, Attack with debuff, Buff.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been kind of obsessed with this since seeing the reveal, and I can't really explain why beyond "I like it's vibe". After playing the demo a bunch, and jumping into the full game, I'm still enjoying the vibes but would mostly recommend the game to other people like me who watched the trailers, joined the livestreams, or visited the dedicated website and instantly fell for it. It's a very straightforward Rogue-lite dungeon crawler, with it's greatest strength in my opinion being the focus…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very tough to review game, as it is the very epitome of an average game. Not good enough to be universally recommended, but not horrible enough to be reviled either. Silent Hope is an action JRPG rogue-like dungeon crawler where the goal is to dive into the abyss, traverse through the dungeons, overcoming the bosses to unlock more resources, gears and level up to become stronger so that the next level of challenge can be overcome and have this entire cycle be repeated again until the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Silent hope, more like I hope she remained silent. Man that princess voice grates, least you can turn it off. Jokes aside, to sum up the game... painfully mediocre. Combats dull, might as well not even have basic attacks with how little they do. Only can do 3 skills on a character, no character switching combos, and the enemies only a threat cause they can perma stun you. And the map was the worst part, way to many floors which were way to big, it was a whole lot of nothing spread over large…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →$32 and 5 hrs spent playing this game, and I honestly regret every cent. I hope I can get a refund because i never plan on touching it again. I am sorry devs but this ain't it. Let me be clear, the game isn't bad for technical reasons. The art is good, the princess's voice actor is one of my favorite. There are multiple play styles, and combat can be fun. Character level up and class changing is nice, but only unlocks when your in the hub world. I will say the abilities and level ups are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Fantastic Game well worth my Time and Money I fully enjoyed not only the Story but the Maps and also the Loot.. combined with how expensive gear is later on (passing hour 70 and halway thru master) I was totally prepared to grind for drops without any toxic feelings whatsoever. Infact with further gear drops in higher zones the + to exp AND rune % items increase in value greatly to the point gearing your other characters is rather easy and all the old gear/runes can simply be recycled…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Highlight of the game is the combat. The skills chain fluidly and combos are satisfying to pull off. The mage can cast a blackhole sucking in enemies and comboing with aoe spells. Fighter has a pull, uppercut, and fireball that is satisfying to combine. The rogue has her daggers, blade dance, and backstab reset on kill that makes you feel like a real assassin when you shred 15 enemies in a row. The warrior has her shout and spin to win moves Sometimes you'll hit a wall and need to farm a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, I played the demo and brought the full game. I love the concept of the game, dungeon delving into rogue dungeons. Picking up items and using those items to craft better equipment to delve again. Pushing yourself to see how far you can go. So far, i have only found two downside's and they are to do with the controls. Having played lots of games on the PC, I am so used to moving with WASD and using my mouse to attack. In this though you cant do that. Although there are keyboard and mouse…

positive · AI labelView post →Decent game if you get it on sale. Main story isn't too grindy but post game gets grindy real fast. Combat is simple but works well, my favourite classes/characters were the assassin and the fist fighter. The assassin does the most damage and the fist fighter is decently powerful while also having better defence. Music was pretty good but dungeons get a bit repetitive as there are only a few map layouts and they get reskinned for every dungeon after the first one. Overall, combat is simple and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very difficult. I can only play the game with one of the seven characters the game provides (the archer). Since the game offers an online store, I can only assume that the game's difficulty is meant to push people to buy game items in the store.

It's a bite-size fun time, the loop persists of you going into randomly generated dungeons (That all feel the same) and getting loot and leveling up. It is incredibly simple but fun, the animations are cute and charming packed in a chibi art style. I personally recommend it, the game barely meets the requirements to give you diversity to what you…

neutral · AI labelView post →I was quite excited for a Hack n Slash JRPG, but this is just awful. It seems more like a mobile game. Doesn't have proper controller support and you just literally walk toward the enemies and press attack... OH also it's an extraction game, die, without extracting, or try to push as far as possible, you lose all drops you picked up. So don't die I guess, Its so awful not even worth it for $8, will refund..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not super far but the game is super boring for me. Non-boss enemies have a single attack, each playable character has a small attack combo (like 2-3 hits depending on character) and they have 3 skill slots which are just use cooldowns. Each of the characters has 2 alt "classes" you can unlock but they just increase stats and allow you to get the skills from their list of 3 (total of 9 skill options per character but other than being a buff or a better source of damage they don't change gameplay…
