Rock Band KAMI WA SAIKORO WO FURANAI Creates Theme Song
Shuusaku Yanagita, the lead singer of KAMI WA SAIKORO WO FURANAI, expressed his excitement about composing the theme song for Silent Hope. As a fan of RPGs since childhood, Yanagita was delighted to contribute to a brand-new action RPG. He believes that RPGs offer a unique experience, allowing players to progress at their own pace, explore captivating landscapes, and delve into the stories of both main and supporting characters. Yanagita hopes that Silent Hope’s story and their song will resonate not only with Japanese audiences but also with players worldwide.
The Story of Silent Hope
Silent Hope is set in a world where verbal communication has been stolen, leaving humanity without the power of words. The once-peaceful land fell into silence when the former King took away people’s ability to speak and vanished into The Abyss, an infinite chasm. Overwhelmed by grief, the Princess shed countless tears, which encased her in a magical teardrop. Many years later, seven heroes emerge, gifted with newfound abilities and drawn towards the Princess. To restore their world, they must brave the treacherous depths of The Abyss, locate the long-lost King, and free the Princess from her crystalline prison.
Gameplay and Features
Silent Hope blends the nostalgic appeal of isometric dungeon-crawlers with modern gameplay elements. Players assume the roles of seven unlikely heroes, each equipped with a unique weapon, fighting style, and non-combat job. These heroes spend their days battling enemies and gathering resources in The Abyss. After their arduous expeditions, they return to Base Camp, where they can craft items, enhance their gear, and rest before embarking on their next adventure. The layout of The Abyss is procedurally generated, ensuring that each journey presents new challenges and greater dangers the deeper the heroes venture.
