I can’t say enough good things about this awesome RPG!! This is the best the RPG genre has to offer. For people to say this is crap/discrdit this; they aren’t gamers at all. This is a perfect combination of Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, and Chrono Trigger. The characters are intresting and the plot is intreaging. This is a must have for the TRUE gamer and a must for fans of rpgs! I highly recommend this to anyone! It’s worth every penny! A truly remarkable gaming experience!!
This game is pretty awesome, cool story and lots of secerts too bad the random battles happen every 5-6 paces… people should buy it to support a another
Just buy it, play it, and you won’t regret. Lots of fun, good graphics, nice sound, good story. One of the best RPGs.
Black Sigil was made by like 8 people and its well crafted story, colorful cast of characters and unique battle system are really marvelous. The story and characters surpass even some of Square-enix’s best efforts and nod to games like FF6 without blatantly hit you upside the head. Now many will criticize the graphics for one… but the detail in the castles and interior dungeons was actually pretty nice… please realize this game started as a GBA title. Is it perfect…no, the battle system will frustrate you at times and cost you many load and start overs…granted. But its not a push over in terms of difficulty and I for one appreciate this…I think this game is a flawed masterpiece and ever RPG gamer of the FF generation should give it a shot.
This is the best looking game I’ve seen in a long time . . . because I love the old SNES RPGs. This game looks great, and the ‘movies’ are in game, none of the high rendered CG crap that so many games throw in and just seems tacked on now-a-days. I haven’t played all the way through it, in fact I just got the 3rd character, but so far I really like the characters, play mechanics, story line, music, and graphics. If you’re the kind of person that likes to play old RPGs on emulators rather than the re-makes then you’ll love this game. I couldn’t stress enough how this feels like a RPG from the golden era of SNES.Another thing that it seems clear of is the ‘collector’ fad, why should my character that is trying to save the world collect worthless items like cards, marbles, stars, pictures, bottle caps, underwear, or whatever? Also, so far I haven’t walked into a tavern and had a smack down of pogs with anyone either, so it’s more geared towards the older players.One problem that I have had thus far, and this has happened twice, is there are parts that have a ton of story, things you need to do, then without an opportunity to save it throws you into a dungeon that seems way to high level for you. You end up dying because the monsters are just a huge jump from where you just were right before the big story push. It gets a little stressful to find the save point before you die. I’ve died a few times needing to re-do 20-30 min of play time. I just died in a dungeon and have.
Listen the game is buggy, dated, and flawed but it is a sterling effort from a fledgling developer. That is the reason for the high overall score and the low fun score.Do know that while it is compared to Chrono Trigger, it is not Chrono Trigger. The difference being story setting and battle. The twist on battle is supposed to be that position matters but largely it doesn’t. Mostly it just serves to slow down battle if you want to use a regular attack. You will battle a lot as the encounter rate is sky high (random encounters one more difference). The game isn’t really that difficult so things just get monotonous.Overall, a nice homage to Chrono Trigger with it’s own unique hackneyed JRPG story. A nice cast of well developed static characters (rarely have I ever seen a true dynamic character in RPG as they all just come across as destined to save the world from the get go).In the end noting pushes the mold except the fact it’s from a little Canadian (I think they’re Canadian anyway) Indie Company breaking into the JRPG industry and one of the most successful commercial console attempts on North American soil. They got the look and feel down. Hopefully they’ll survive to make another game and put their own spin on the genre.I recommend if you’re a connoisseur of the indie scene, old school rpgs, or just like to see a little guy succeed….Huh guess this is more of an essay than a review.
I’m about 5 hours in. Im liking it. For the record, I am playing on a DSi and have not experienced one glitch or freeze which some people on a few forums are reporting.The battle system is fine. The random encounter rate is a little high, but that’s by todays standards. Id say it falls right in the middle of FF6 and FF4.I absolutely LOVE the graphical style. So much of it it ripped DIRECTLY from Chrono Trigger and FF6. If you want to copy something, might as well make it the best.Graphically this game looks VERY VERY VERY similar to Chrono Trigger. Theres really no other way to describe it. It FEELS like you are playing a reskin of Chrono Trigger. The animations are extremely similar to CT as well. The overworld looks the same as FF6The game almost feels like a ROM hack combining the 2 with a little bit of Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma mixed in.There are a few objects strewn about levels that are stolen right from both of those games.There might be a bug or 2 and a few things people dont like about it, but you have to realize how small the development team on this game was. Its the best they could do. We need to support them so they make more games like this.We need to send a message to Squarenix that we want more original old school stuff rather than over the top stuff and remakes(that said I really want a sequel to Chrono Trigger)The character design is quite nice. Its amazing how much more personality little sprites have compared to polygons.The story is pretty tradition.
Good price on an obscure DS classic. Fast delivery too!
I got my game yesterday and haven’t put the game down yet. I’ve been waiting for this game to come out. The graphics and gameplay was what I expected, OLDSCHOOL. They don’t make games like this anymore!Battle system was user friendly. Enemy encounters was pretty high but didn’t stop me from enjoying this game. What made this especially special was the characters. EPIC GAME!
I don’t understand the apparent apathy for this game. I admit I’m only about 15 hours into it, but so far I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve played. I concede that the frequent random encounters are frustrating… While it would have been lovely if they’d avoided them altogether, Chrono Trigger this is not. That being said, the characters are interesting and well-rounded, and the story so far is solid enough that I want to keep playing. I may be alone in this, but I actually enjoy the strategic aspect to positioning that the combat brings, and deciding whether to fight or flee can be challenging. Judicious use of your magic and team-up abilities are vital to your success, and so far the difficulty hasn’t seemed unfair or overwhelming. Not to mention it has some of the better sprite work I’ve seen on the DS.This is very definitely a fan game, it’s an homage to the days before a certain spiky-haired ex-soldier and his ragtag group of friends beat the snot out of a test-tube baby and a self styled, silver-maned nihilist. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s a throwback that’s paying tribute to some of my favorite games of all time. I realize that it’s a DS game, and perhaps some extra concessions should have been made for portability. Maybe it’s retro-goggles, but I’m looking at it as a 1997 console game that fell into a time capsule, and as such I’m willing to cut it some slack and enjoy it.
