Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled

Have you heard of this new game? It came out on the 9th, not too long ago. From a new and unknown company, Graffiti Entertainment, it is a game made in the style of NES games. More specifically, it is a lot like Chrono Trigger. Unlike Chrono Trigger however, this game has an incredibly high random battle encounter rate, meaning you will constantly be fighting monsters, or running away from them. Normally, in games, you don't want to run away much, but in this game, running away from monsters is a good option because the game is horribly easy. The game freezes at times, which can get really annoying after the first few times it freezes. Apparently, the game also has an absent-minded editor, unable to catch a few mistakes, in the manual as well as the credits. For example, in the credits:

Spell Graphics:
Maya Anderson
Daniel-David Guertin
Mark Florestant

Opening Graphics:
David-Daniel Guertin

Thanks to QuietlyInsane from the GameFAQs Black Sigil board for finding this mistake.

Despite all these problems, it's not a bad idea to check it out, while it can still be found. It's a reasonably decent game, if you don't mind the freezing.
