I've almost lost hope that this game will ever be released on GoG, but WOW - you are the best! This game belongs among my very favorites and thus stands beside titles like Ocarina of Time and FF7. In my opinion it's one of the most underrated games in RPG history. The story and character-developement may not be the deepest but together with the beautiful backgrounds and the awesome soundtrack, it mediates an unforgetable atmosphere! Silver has a unique combat control: You control your melee attacks with mouse strokes (while holding CTRL). An upward stroke triggers a forward thrust that deals high damage but is slow, a sideways stroke triggers a slash, a downward stroke triggers a 180° strike to cover your back. This made the combat incredibly direkt and immersive. On the downside you change weapons and magic and access potions via a circle menue. This circly menue pops up, obstukts your view and prohibits other input while NOT stopping other events, meaning you have to click through a menue to heal your characters while around you the battle keeps raging on. This was why the game was labeled very difficult by many and maybe one factor of why it didn't sell very well. A unique and sometimes challenging, story driven action-RPG and a must-have for me!
