Alright, here we go!
I don't know much about The Legend of Blacksilver, but the box art is inspired by Conan the Destroyer. (The castle is even traced from the mountain fortress of Conan the Destroyer.)
And I see the Conan influence in this intro screen as well. Unlike the previous games, which showed a castle, museum, and magical tome, this one features the muscular protagonist. He's wearing a Conan-like horned helmet.
The music feels more like a Conan style 80s fantasy epic action adventure movie score than the title music of the earlier titles also.
Will this translate into different feeling vibes in the game itself? We'll see!

So far the game feels like the shadowrealm of Legacy of the Ancients. It's not the same game at all. But all the same elements are there all with just enough changed to make it feel strange. In fact, I can't really seem to find anything that states that this game is even a sequel to Legacy. I went through the entire manual and it really does seem like they just took the same framework and created an entirely different world, with an entirely new plot.
