Have you heard of a game called Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled? I hadn’t until Destructoid contributor Adam Dork pointed it out to me in the office this morning.
Black Sigil is a Nintendo DS game to be published by Graffiti Entertainment. Watching the above trailer, it looks like a 16-bit role-playing game, showing some strong similarities to Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI. It may not have the polish that these two classics have, but it definitely looks and sounds interesting.
- Vivid environments create a realistic yet imaginative landscape
- 30+ hours of game play with tons of side-quests
- Dark secrets and powerful plot twists create an original and intriguing story line
- Strategically customize your 3 person party from up to 8 unique characters
- 100+ different physical and magical skills/combos
- 100+ different weapons
- 200+ different pieces of armor
Apparently, this has been in the works for awhile now. It was previously called “Project Exile,” and was in development for the Game Boy Advance. The official Web page says “TBA 2008,” but 2008 is almost over.
What do you think of this? Have you heard of this before?
