[SWAGshow]

I think my wife would have a problem with that.

[knightofthewind117]

Lol nice review Swag.I did'nt know you played Kingdom Hearts

[SWAGshow]

Yup, I've played 1 and 2.

[Heroinedown]

That was good, thx SWAGshow. l played this game and l was back in 1995. Exactly what l needed and not a GODDAMN SO-CALLED Final Fantasy serie which has lost everything interesting over the last years...

[murciegal0]

I love this game, is underrated

[cheoleo2500]

A guy that can't use magic and everyone else can? Sounds like Break blade xD

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

development did start on gba

[warwolf54]

Good review. I might looking this one up.

[barny15]

Good review, but I find it a bit odd that you didn't address the encounter rate specifically (although you did address the fact that it's a bit difficult).

[sparileidlon]

I love black sigil, more than most of RPG today.

[yeismeload]

@piazza157 lol fail

Cobra Commander FTW

[piazza157]

u need a gf =P

[rujiel17]

You didn't mention the encounter rate--holy shit. I like that they stuck to 2D--usually 3D effects hamper the possible creativity of sprites.

[SetSailToLandOfFail]

Good review.

[DemonRoach]

Black Sigil was originally a GAMEBOY ADVANCE TITLE. It was delayed a few years at the end,..and so they had to switch platfforms, ala the extra year delay. But,...thats that, this is this.

[Lusterthelonewolf]

Black Sigil sounds absolutely perfect for me. god old 16-bit graphics and the difficulty. *drools*

[PeanutButterGamer]

I saw this on GotGame, and I loved it. Good work, Swag.

[64films]

Chrono Trigger was AWESOME.

[blueswan1984]

I grew up at around the NES and Super NES era so games like this really appeal to me. I just wish they made more games like this for WiiWare, PSN, and XBLA. We did get FFIV: The After Years but an original RPG like this is a sure win if it did. Anyways Black Sigil is still a solid RPG for retro player.

[spida1a]

Great stuff!!! :)

[linkuofcourage]

Thats awesome are you going to get 358/2 days for the ds

[Satadrian]

Looks good.

Finally a true rpg game without goofing around...

[moosh1989]

[Nazrat84]

Decepti-Crobra!
