Legend of the Silverstone is the story of Taka, a young soldier candidate about to complete his training to become a fully fledged soldier of the empire like his older brother: he has some adventures during his training days, but later he has his life turned upside down on the day of his final exam: all happens due to a mysterious silver stone that everyone wants, and after being warned by his brother Riag of an impending danger. Taka regains conciousness many years later in some unknown place. He's been imprisoned and can't remember what happened. After escaping he tries to find a way home, always on the run from his pursuers...
Legend of the Silverstone is a fantasy jrpg with a little bit of adventure, drama, horror and comedy. It's mostly linear but also offers a lot of mini games, quicktime events and a unique quick battle system to make fights easier. The menu is also custom made and allows to save anytime despite the presence of save points. Mapping and graphics are pretty good.
Random Fact: the game was originally released in german, and only later the demo was translated into english. Rather than making a demo for each language, the developer made a single game where the Language can be chosen from the main menu.
Final Verdict: despite some minor flaw and rips from famous games like music from Final Fantasy Tales and facesets and battlers from the Tales game series, the game has its own style and character. It's a pity this is a demo, but it's still pretty long and packed with things to do and places to explore.
