Where has all the magic gone?

Creating role-playing games can be a labor of love (not that it can’t be a labor of money either): creating a storyline, a world, and the people, creatures and items that exist and interact in that world is no mean feat. And when it comes to the upcoming RPG for the DS, Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled, you can tell that a lot of love went into crafting this one.

Following genre conventions, Kairu begins on a simple quest: visit yonder neighborhood temple and find out if the local spirits will grant him a shot of magic juice so he can just be like everyone else. From there the story takes a number of twists and turns, with revelations along the journey to keep you in suspense. Coupled with interesting playable characters and snappy dialog, and you’ve got a modest, yet enjoyable epic in the making.
