SilverStar at a Glance

SilverStar is a Japanese company founded in 1997 that has released 15 games on PlayPile. The firm operates under the name Kabushiki-gaisha Silverstar Japan and was active from 2002 to 2020. They have worked as both publishers and developers, handling 11 titles as a publisher and 9 as a developer. Their catalog shows a heavy preference for Card & Board Game titles with 11 releases. They also made three Strategy games and three Puzzle games. Smaller portions of their work include Quiz/Trivia, Adventure, Shooter, and Simulator genres. Platform support was broad during their run. The Nintendo Switch holds the most games in their library with seven titles. PlayStation 4 comes next with four games. Older hardware like the PlayStation 2 has three entries. Later consoles including the PlayStation 3, Wii U, and Wii appear less frequently. They also published for the original PlayStation, PlayStation Portable, PC, and Nintendo 3DS. Output changed over the decades they were active. The 2000s saw only four games from SilverStar. Activity increased in the 2010s where they released eight titles. This pace slowed significantly in the 2020s with just one game before they stopped releasing new content. Recent releases include Being Stronger While Playing! SilverStar Go DX in June 2020 and Dobutsu Shogi World in June 2019. Other late entries feature Please Teach Me Onedari Shogi, Escape Game: Aloha, and SilverStarChess. The company does not have a wide volume of work compared to major industry players. Their focus remains tightly on board and card game adaptations rather than large-scale action or role-playing projects. Data does not provide specific rating scores for their games, so we cannot determine if the quality is generally great, mixed, or poor. The small number of total games suggests a niche operation that specialized in portable strategy and puzzle formats across multiple generations of consoles.
