  • Abstract:  Within the first year of the DS' launch, we had pretty much two RPGs to choose from – Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Lunar: Dragon Song; by the second year in, the system still had very few games in the genre to choose from. However, fast forward to...

  • Abstract:  Black Sigil is actually a new game. It doesnt look like it. It doesnt play like it. But it is -- and its been a long time coming, too. Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled is the final, retail-release, at-long-last result of what began years ago as a Ga...

  • Abstract:  It does a lot of things right and tells a pretty good story, and if you’ve been a genre fan since the early 90s then it’ll definitely bring back great memories. Still, Black Sigil is frustrating in many ways, and if you aren’t familiar with the games i...

  • Abstract:  The thing about old school RPGs is that, no matter how bad they are, so long as they contain plenty of grinding, a high encounter rate and the exact same tropes we've seen in the genre for the past twenty years, there will always be some group of nerd...

  • Lots of characters to choose from, NPCs react to different characters in different ways, lots of equipment, detailed character sprites and environments, a huge world to explore, multiple endings, secret characters and a unique storyline.
  • The random battle encounter rate is quite high. Some people have reported glitches.

  • Abstract:  I get what the developers of Black Sigil were going for, and while I'm all in for supporting small developers that manage to pump out an actual, commercial release, Black Sigil tries so hard to tie into it's roots, 16 bit RPG's, that it fails to realiz...

  • Abstract:  With recent releases of such franchises as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest on the Nintendo DS, the portable console has become a haven for traditional role-playing games. While its certainly nice to revisit such landmark titles, there is also room for ...

  • Likable characters and engaging story, Charming retro aesthetic.
  • Story is very slow to start, Encounter rate is extremely high, Battles are occasionally frustrating.
  • While Black Sigil comes with all the basic trappings of a traditional RPG, it’s too frustrating and unoriginal to stand out. ...
