Back before Indie games were a dime a dozen and homages to classic games were constant. A small little group of friends in Montreal wanted to make a 90's style jRPG that honored the time and more importantly their favorite game. Chrono Trigger. A lot of games over the years have tried to capture that feeling. As I have already mentioned and listed, Cosmic Star Heroine, I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear are some of them. Black Sigil is the absolute pinnacle of games trying to be Chrono Trigger. It looks and feels like CT. The combat is a damn clone basically. There are some great songs in this game and the places you go a very colorful and lively. The cast is also outstanding except for the Robo wannabe Doll. Doll exists. Anyway this game was a GBA title originally but like I said, Indie games back then didn't just happen. This game struggled to find a publisher and funding to finish development for well over 5 years. Even with that the game released a glitchy mess which led to being panned in reviews. For the few that played through the crashes and black screens of nothing, was one hell of a treat.You are Kairu, a guy that can't use magic in a world of people that can use magic. Along with you are his step sister, Aurora. A magician named Nephi. A ninja Isa. Vai another person with no magic that was banished for it. Rogurd a Rogue >.>. Nym a summoner and Doll... a doll. I will mention now I have backed Sea of Stars for a large amount because I see them making a CT style game with true love for the source and am super hyped that we may get another Black Sigil type game. Some things people dumped on for this game besides the crashes and very limited prints of the game. It's apparently $150 on Amazon now? Cool. Anyway, there is an intense level of random battles. One CT thing they did not copy was enemies on screen. It's old fashioned FF random battles and they trigger like every 5 steps in a game with a lot of steps. I love a good grindy RPG so for me it was a plus. Plus combat is tons of fun. I would love to see this game get remastered and fix some issues so people would give it an honest chance. It is a true hidden gem. Nephi is a very charismatic Magus and easily my favorite character in the game. --- I am Nick. Go Sens, Bills, Blue Jays!
