About JUDGEMENT SILVERSWORD - Resurrection -
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.

Horrifically brutal shmup. Rewards you with extra lives and continues the more you play, seemingly for the sole purpose of applying further suffering to your psyche. As agonizing as it is unmissable. Awesome.1 found this helpful
Good package with some rare Wonder Swan games. The marathon mode is my favorite.1 found this helpful
just got it on PC, I have it already on Switch bundled with Eschatos. Judgement Silversword has very smooth gameplay, and a lot of fun. You can see how it evolved into Eschatos. Similar enemies, patterns, no bomb just a shield to get through bullets, and broken up into short stages that come at you very fast. Basically its old school Eschatos with 2d graphics. Cardinal Sins is one I have spent less time with, I think its mostly for competing with yourself or a friend. I think it is called a Caravan SHMUP? You get graded on each Stage. if you die it goes onto the next stage, and the next, and then you get your score for each stage at the end. It's okay but I prefer Judgement Silversword. I recommend these games, but only after you have gotten the other SHMUPs by Qute- Eschatos, Ginga Force, Natsuki Chronicles, and want more.
It's a classic especially considering its history but I find it difficult to have fun with it Definitely not recommend for anyone who wants a fun time with their Shmups
very quietly and unassumingly one of the best shmups in existence
good game
