About This Game Judgement Silversword is the winner of the "WonderWitch" 2001 game development contest, and was originally released in 2004. Designed for the WonderSwan Color, Judgement Silversword has the unique distinction of being one of the few shooting games designed for a handheld console, and it's also one of the best! Destroying enemies as quickly as possible is essential to scoring in Judgement Silversword, giving the game a ruthless tempo. One of indie developer M-KAI's first games, it can be seen as the inspiration and predecessor to the gameplay ideas in Eschatos.Cardinal Sins puts an interesting twist on shoot 'em up gameplay with a score trial marathon spanning 7 different areas, each with a unique objective themed around the 7 Deadly Sins. Collect lives in Sloth, Hoard enemy data in Greed, and avoid Destruction at the hands of Wrath. Mastering the different objectives gives the game a great sense of variety. Getting an S rank in every trial is very challenging!Key Features:Two different games! Includes both Judgement Silversword and it's sequel, Cardinal Sins.Relentless shmup gameplay. Use your three weapons efficiently to rack up a high multiplier. However, your multiplier will drop quickly, so wipe out the enemies as fast as you can! Varied challenges and a deep scoring system create strong replay value.A faithful port of hard-to-find WonderSwan Color games.See where the legend began! Play the games that inspired Eschatos.Steam achievements are supported. 6d5b4406ea Title: JUDGEMENT SILVERSWORD - Resurrection -Genre: ActionDeveloper:QutePublisher:DegicaRelease Date: 18 Sep, 2015 JUDGEMENT SILVERSWORD - Resurrection - Activation Code Offline I love this shmup. It's just rad. I love that you can see little reverse jets when you back the ship up and the little twitching movement your guns do as you pew-pew away. It's adorable. I also like the overall set up over the game where you have fast attack pattens instead of 5 or so long levels--it really makes the action flow beautifully. JSS also does an awesome job at finding a balance between traditional shooters with less\/faster bullets and the ever-popular danmaku bullet hell with slow down and tons of bullets. You get the best of both with JSS. My only critique is that there's like 3 music tracks or so in the whole game. Guess it was just a software limitation from the original development of the game? Not a huge deal by any means, but a little meh. ALSO--I am very bummed there aren't scoreboards. WTF? That's so easy to do and the xbox360 version has them so why not the steam version? So lame.But still, all-in-all it's a fantastic shooter with well-balanced action, a unique shield system, lots of stocks so that it always feels fair, not a ton of memorization required, and a good mix of bullet-hell and traditional shooting style.PROTIP: If you have a controller or stick with a turbo function you can set the spread shot to turbo whilst also holding the straight shot to basically use both simultaneously. Or you can cheat the old-fashioned way without turbo and repeatedly mash the spreadshot while holding down the straight shot ;). I picked up JUDGEMENT SILVERSWORD \u2013 Resurrection \u2013 up completely on a whim without knowing anything about the game. I was looking for something to play and the low price point was enough to persuade me to give it a try. There are a lot of bad to mediocre low-priced games out there that target impulse purchasers, and I'm happy to say that JUDGEMENT SILVERSWORD \u2013 Resurrection \u2013 does not fall into that category.The two included games are somewhat obscure WonderSwan Color titles. For anyone out there that doesn't know: the WonderSwan is a handheld game console that was released in Japan. Judgement Silversword was the winner of a Bandai game development contest, and Cardinal Sins is a WonderSwan title based on Judgement Silversword but only playable through the WonderWitch Personal Software Development Kit. Physical copies of the game are quite rare, and very expensive, as it only received a limited commercial release in Japan.Judgement Silversword is a more traditional shmup. You fly through each stage destroying enemies and fighting bosses along the way. It's a very challenging game, and unlike arcade style shooters you do not have infinite credits. While playing the game and earning points you will unlock additional credits and other features. The ship has two modes of fire and a shield which can also be used offensively. The game will feel very familiar to individuals that have played the Judgement Silversword's spiritual successor ESCHATOS.Cardinal Sins is a different type of game. Judging by the fact that this release was named JUDGEMENT SILVERSWORD \u2013 Resurrection \u2013, I didn't really expect very much from the second game which isn't even referenced in the title. Recycle edition isn't exactly a very flattering subtitle for a game either. Despite its lack of prominent marketing, I ended up being more drawn into Cardinal Sins than I was Judgement Silversword. It has seven different stages, each of which has a special objective. You are graded on each individual stage, and the game gives you an average letter grade at the end. If the player performs well enough they will be rewarded with a chance to find the final boss. Cardinal Sins is a short and fast paced game perfect for people that are in the mood to play a quick game during a lunch break or between other activities. I've had a lot of fun trying to beat my personal best scores, and it is truly a shame that the Steam release doesn't have a global leader-board.The graphical and audio aspects are about what one would expect from an older handheld release. It looks and sounds fine, and fortunately has aged well. It would have been nice to have more audio tracks but I suspect there aren't so many due to the technical limitations of the WonderSwan. I enjoyed what was there, and even recognized one song that was later recreated in ESCHATOS. The visuals are clear and bullets are easy to distinguish. My only criticism in regards to graphics is of a very brief section of Cardinal Sins where the colors suddenly change. It was slightly disorienting the first time I saw it, but a non-issue once I knew what to expect.Overall JUDGEMENT SILVERSWORD \u2013 Resurrection \u2013 is a great package. It offers two great shmups at a very low price. I'm glad these were brought to Steam as they are WonderSwan titles I was completely unfamiliar with and most likely wouldn't have had the opportunity to play otherwise. As previously mentioned, it's unfortunate that the game doesn't have leader-boards, but fortunately this isn't something that at all detracts from the gameplay. I definitely recommend buying this, they're solid shooters and great bang for the buck. If you're a fan of the genre you really can't go wrong with this one.EDIT: October 6th, 2016 - It has leaderboards now! Buy this game!Like the review? Follow my curator page to see my thoughts on other games.. simple yet effective shmup. 6\/10. Personally, I'm a huge fan of score attack games. I love trying to best my high score from old arcade classics, to music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band.However, I've never been a huge fan of space shooters, nothing against them I just don't religously play them. That is, until I got Judgement Silversword: Ressurection.This game is fantastic in my opinion. Great controls, great music, great graphics (for what was a WonderSwan title), great gameplay, and fantastically optimized for even the crappiest of PCs.This is definitely worth the $5 I spent on it, and it's definitely worth your time and money too.. Over 9000\/10I can beat Hibachi on Dodonpachi series, but I can't even win this game on easy difficulty :oI don't know what makes this game difficult... who thinks CAVE is too easy, this game should be next..... I've long said that SHMUPS are an elegant genre. Simple in their goal, but complex in what they ask the player to perform. Judgement Silversword looks simple; it looks old, dated, and its 5 dollar price-tag may indicate it may be nothing more than a passing novelty. However, it's anything but. It's a perfect port of the Wonderswan rarity (which would easily cost you upwards of $500 to purchase otherwise), and plays like a dream.The scoring is simple, but razor sharp. The controls are responsive, the bullet patterns are captivating, and the short rapid-fire levels are so much fun to blitz through! Best 5 bucks I've spent in a very, very long time. The addition of Cardinal Sins which was, previously, only available on the Wonderswan Development Kit, is the icing on the cake. A must own. No question about it.. Shmup shooter games were one of my favorite types of games, and since I've never owned a Wonderswan I got more interested to see how this game is. It's really a fun game, and for the time this came out it was nicely done, at least for a portable game. Of course, you'd have to understand since this was made for a portable gaming system back when it was made the graphics and sound are very simple, but really it's enjoyable.
