Description
Hero Silver battles the invader Apocalypse with nine telekinetic arms in this Infogrames Dreamcast action-RPG. Published by Infogrames, released in Europe in March 2000. Action-RPG with telekinetic control of nine arms, Jarrah exploration, colossal bosses, epic fantasy narration. European version.
The Latin PAL pressing of Silver from Infogrames, this France edition bundles French, Italian and Portuguese on a single disc, making it the pick for French-speaking and southern-European collectors who want the title in their language. Lower-profile than the English variant on Anglo markets, it surfaces mainly in France, Italy and Portugal, where its localised distribution creates a relative scarcity in international circulation. The appeal rests on the multilingual localisation rather than on overall print volume.
Memorable bosses
Driven by a then-novel gesture-based combat system, this action-RPG turns each guardian into an elemental puzzle to exploit: fire, ice, lightning or poison dictate your weapon and approach. Often colossal foes force you to chain dodges and charged blows at just the right moment. This tactical reading of weaknesses, married to a varied bestiary, gives its duels a flavor that stood out for its time.
Is Silver still worth playing in 2026?
An ambitious action RPG from Infogrames, Silver builds on a bold idea: all combat runs through gesture control of the hero's telekinetic arms, steered by mouse or stick. The colorful bestiary, the colossal bosses and the fantasy world of Jarrah keep their character. The gesture system has aged and grows repetitive over the long haul, but the adventure retains a singular epic breath. An offbeat action RPG still worth the detour for the genre-curious and lovers of original ideas.
