Songs of Silence offers a game that is fun enough to play and impossible to put down, easily captivating players with its unique world, interesting concepts, and phenomenal art.
Let's put it out there, Songs of Silence is relying on its looks to bring you in. Somewhere between Heroes of Might and Magic and the Total War series is what
Songs of Silence is a solid 4x strategy game to play nearing the end of the year, or, cheaper, simply listen to its official soundtrack. Either way, the player will get their money’s worth.
I had a fantastic time playing through the campaign of Song’s of Silence, and though it may not be one I will stick with, I can see why other gamers would. Its pared down management and combat systems make the game more approachable with a brisk pace, but veteran fans of the genre may find the lack of depth and control off-putting. A visually sumptuous blend of real-time strategy and auto battler, Songs of Silence is an excellent twist on the classic RTS formula.
Songs of Silence is a beautiful and engaging 4X auto-battler blend, whose unique approach will sweep you up for hours on end.
I said at the beginning that the developers from Chimera Entertainment had previously done simple strategy takes on the Angry Birds series - and you can actually see that in Songs of Silence, as we are dealing with what you could call a "strategy game lite". With the available deck-builder mechanics and campaign, Songs of Silence is an excellent starting point for the slightly inexperienced strategy player who wants to get to know the genre better.
Songs of Silence is a strange but surprisingly enjoyable mix of varieties of Strategy genres. It is fun despite lacking a lot of content that you'd expect from a modern strategy game. Great visuals and foundations make up for its many, many faults.
If you're curious whether Songs of Silence is the right game for you, this review will help.
Songs of Silence gives players a lush visual palette and an excellent score from one of the industry's best, then proceeds to squander all the goodwill with aggravating systems, terrible design, and painful narrative efforts. Silence may be golden, but this isn't anywhere close.
