I still keep up with Classic Game Room and I'm so grateful because I love that I can find an old CGR review for a game I just discovered in 2016 to determine if I want to buy it or not. All hail Lord Karnage!

@NejisBreakingVlogs 7 лет назад

did you get it yet

@les907 6 лет назад

Lost my DS years ago. Bought a new one recently. This game stayed on my mind but couldn't remember the title This brought it all flooding back. Thanks.

@DrumstickFL 8 лет назад

It's 16bit, okay? not 8! twice the emotion!

@KajDarkwind 4 года назад

Not only that, but every video I've seen so far on this game the reviewer didn't apparently know how to pronounce the word "sigil". After hearing it pronounced "seagull" for about the 18th time I have to admit even I'm a little bit annoyed.

@Jack_80 3 года назад

yesh, i kept thinking it looks like a snes game, not an nes game.

@MinoruLeo 7 лет назад

The game is very good, has a decent story and charming characters, but the fatal flaw is the *_astronomic_* encounter rate that can really get on your nerves later on. It's also quite easy and very few boss battles will pose a threat if you're decently equipped. Still, it's worth a shot if you're a fan of RPG games.

@Jack_80 3 года назад

really? that's weird, i just came to check this game out because it was on a top 10 list of hardest rpgs.

@dashboots376 15 лет назад

Looks like my kind of game I still play Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI and sword of mana also other of my favorite RPGs include Golden Sun and Paper Mario

@RMD00 15 лет назад

It reminds me of Chrono Trigger almost. The sprite look and the combat system. kinda look like it.

@evanczthehunter57 10 лет назад

This game needs more attention. -.-

@jb0258jr Месяц назад

Finally going to get to play this game tomorrow. Have a copy on its way from eBay! This ones been on my list of games to play for far too long

@BelowAverageGaming13 11 дней назад

I just picked this game up in a pawn shop for $5.00. I’ve never heard of it before, but it seems like something I’m going to love. I’m going to start playing on the bus tomorrow.

@PixelOutlaw 15 лет назад

I'd say it is closer to a 16 bit RPG. 8 bit JRPG's had more trivial menus and much less intricate story.

@Rakiarmas 10 лет назад

Oh man there's so many interesting looking RPGs on Nintendo DS. I wish I could find more of them to my collection. I really love RPGs. they are probably my top favorite game genre ever. :) So many games, so much to play.

@Zedekar9000 9 лет назад

Haha, I got the same feeling sometimes when watching these reviews, I wanna play them all, lol.

@Rakiarmas 9 лет назад

***** That's the reason why I hate not being rich & have to buy consoles much much later after the release. Most of the good games are very old & you can only get them used, which can be a very difficult to find. Especially here in Finland, that doesn't have even close as huge gaming market as in USA or Japan for example.

@Zedekar9000 9 лет назад

Rakiarmas True, me too, I'm from South America, and the prices are crazy because all is imported. I wish I would live in Japan, haha, or at least know japanese, there are lots of asian titles.

@tumest 15 лет назад

I'll be damned, I didn't know sigil could be pronounced with a hard g, but I looked it up and it can. Learn something new every day.

@Zedekar9000 9 лет назад

and I agree with what a guy said below, you are the best reviewer of all, I don't like to see reviews so much, but I can spend hours watching yours though, even of games I don't like and sometimes you even convince me of trying them out :D

@phenixqc3197 3 года назад

why youtube put this game in my feed??? I love it so much 11 years ago until I lost it

@DemonKuAbyss 15 лет назад

This is not 8-bit. What NES game are you thinking of?

@saitada 15 лет назад

That may be so... I agree with you that this game would seem more at home on the Super Nintendo than the NES but the 16-bit RPGs still followed the same archetype as was established on 8-bit systems. There was no fundamental shift between the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. I think it's perfectly valid to call this sort of game an 8-bit style RPG because all of the basic elements from games like Dragon Quest remain.

@stillgaming 15 лет назад

This game looks and feels so, SO much like a Chrono Trigger/FF6 hybrid. The character designs, dungeons, and text fonts.. all so familiar.

@merksperk2 13 лет назад

Black Sigil has received a lot of attention. Not bad, considering that this is Studio Archcraft's first published game. I'll be looking forward to their next game, and hopefully a sequel to Black Sigil down the line.

@Mr.Sojiro 2 года назад

This game looks fantastic, not one I have ever seen for the DS, the visuals instantly make me think of other 16-bit JRPGs on SNES. This is one I will have to track down, looks right up my alley.

@Jodie842 15 лет назад

All DS games feel 'old school' because that's the best this handheld can do!

@LegendaryOutcast 9 лет назад

This is a good video. I played this game for more than 50 hours. It is very glitchy and you encounter way too many mobs when trying to travel, a very old school feel. That being said this game is definitely worth giving a try and by that I mean play it for at least a few hours, just remember to save often. The main reason I loved this game was the Story and the music. Combat system is good, easily comparable to chrono trigger. which i love but i would not compare the game entirely just based on the combat system.

@AlexejGravius 7 лет назад

The only bad thing about this game is the random encounter rate, it's way too high.

@janxtrinidad 13 лет назад

You gotta love the intro

@Zedekar9000 9 лет назад

Dam it , I love this kind of art, old school art? you know, like comix zone, or blades of vengeance for sega genesis? can someone recomend me more games with this kind of art? reminds me so much of final fantasy II too, the one that starts with the robots walking in the snow

@AlexBSPLUS 8 лет назад

This Final Fantasy you're talking is VI, III in the ocidental release for the SNES. Maybe you would like the Lunar series. It's pretty similar to Black Sigil. Also Phantasy Star 3 and 4!

@todaysdesperadohatesavocad7109 6 лет назад

... what are you on about? Comix Zone is ahead of it's time in graphical style with a unique comic book aesthetic that I would be reluctant to call 'retro' or 'old-school' let alone anything like this games art style. I'm not even going to TOUCH the mix up/confusion between Final Fantasy II and VI.

@MiniAgnostic 15 лет назад

just as an easy reference for anybody the original versions of Space Invaders, Pac Man, Tetris, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros etc were in the 8 bit era, the magnavox odyssey and atari 2600 are 8 bit era consoles, the change from 8 bit to 16 bit was quite a leap foward...

@bbqrainbow 15 лет назад

a lot of copies are apparently defective so go ahead and buy this game directly from the maker's site if you plan to buy it. Otherwise they say "it's only pirated copies that have the freezing glitch" even though the very game bought was directly from Amazon.

@DaemonRiku00 13 лет назад

a main character who is hated by everyone...now that's a nice touch of story other mainstream games do not use often

@sozaj 14 лет назад

kudos to you for mentioning phantasy star

@NewCanadianTurtle 12 лет назад

First time I saw this, I could easily tell inspirations were truly drawn from 16 bit era RPGs like ChronoTrigger. Amazing!

@LoliComplicated 14 лет назад

...you know you can run on the main map right?

@Farreach 15 лет назад

dude most reviewers should be like u to sound so excited to review a game but nowadays we got ppl who just review with no soul dude keep it up u should find a good ps3 game to review if u didn't do call of juarez: bound in blood u should do it for ps3 just to let ppl know how awesome it is

@JayFFAFAlesanaES 7 лет назад

3:50 I will enjoy the gameplay mechanics of... Black Seagull? What is that? TO GOOGLE!

@broceollomon 13 лет назад

So... the main character is Gustav from Saga Frontier 2?

@popimpi 14 лет назад

I still think Link to the Past was a fairly boring game, even Link's Awakening shat all over it.

@gravedigger752 13 лет назад

thhe game reminds me of a cross between secret of mana and chrono trigger, which are both fantastic games and chrono trigger is one of my all time favorites

@Yepimdatguy 14 лет назад

Yes, and I could easily see why fans could still love the game to this day. Even for now it is not horrible. I just think it is extremely overrated.

@laughingfurry 12 лет назад

@konataGAMERZ I don't know. There's other ways for a villain to be powerful. Comic books prove this a lot with villains like Lex Luther and The Joker. There's also various anime where the enemy isn't something that can use magic, but someone with incredible strength, Ki, and/or Psy. The magicless characters of Black Sigil obviously have great power not tied to magic. The ability to fight without relying on magic is what's intimidating.

@SMAAAASHTV 12 лет назад

@VayuPurana No, I'm not attacking you nor was Chrono Trigger a "Mainstream or overrated" when I first played it. I loved it then and I love it now. It's fine that you don't think the story or characters are kick ass. I don't expect everyone to like everything that I do but your trying to make an argument out of nothing. Chrono Trigger was and is still a great game, just because something better has come out since doesn't nullify that.

@BoxcarWillie42 15 лет назад

Great game while taking a dump..

@TheShockblast100 3 года назад

Sir, you are an inspiration

@Yepimdatguy 14 лет назад

Hm. This seems to have the awesome gameplay of Chrono Trigger mixed with an actually good story, which is something CT lacked IMO.

@WillSerenity 15 лет назад

I saw this game on the EBGames website and thought it looked really interesting. After seeing your review, I'll be sure to check it out. I loves me some Old-school RPG action. ^_^ Keep up the good work, Mark. Love your reviews!

@Anemite 13 лет назад

nice 16 bit RPG, not too new but also not too old a game developed with the feeling of gold age games IMO (snes/genesis era)

@popimpi 14 лет назад

The many sidequests of that game give much background detail on each character not to mention they all literally have their own ending. No other game has thoroughly taken the history of mankind from the extinction of dinosaurs right up past an armageddon, maybe you didn't catch the connections to real-life.

@JackHoundENT 15 лет назад

It has few , but I don't think it will effect on how you will enjoy this game.

@ZellMurasame 13 лет назад

Sigil is pronounced with a soft 'g', like how you would say in angel and not angle.

@ivantopito 15 лет назад

its just the feel of it...actually it looks more like one of those 16-bit SNES obscure rpgs. Anyway, back to playing final fantasy mystic quest HELL YEAH!!!

@saitada 15 лет назад

Of course it's not actually an 8-bit game, it's on the DS, what he was saying was that the game follows the style of the old 8-bit RPGs, which it does, 2d graphics, top-down viewpoint, random battle encounters, turn based gameplay, EXP/HP/MP system, sure the graphics are updated (a little) but other than that how is it NOT like an 8-bit style RPG?

@laughingfurry 12 лет назад

@konataGAMERZ It actually makes sense. Everyone in that world can use magic and the first person to be born without magic powers managed to cause massive destruction to their world, according to legend. Since the main character is the second to be born without magic, fear of the first resides. Basically, for them to meet someone who can't use magic would be like for any of us to wake up in bed and see Cthulhu laying there. Quite alien and pretty scary due to legends.

@Revanthewicked 11 лет назад

Chrono Trigger is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@MooseBurrito575 15 лет назад

i like the music in the beginning game vid

@GameDeath 15 лет назад

true.. but the developers of this game deliberately ignore the high capabilities of the ds just so that this game have that 16-bit old school JRPG feeling.

@edichka83 15 лет назад

Agreed. And how do you review this game without once mentioning Chrono Trigger or FF6? Did you actually miss out on two of the greatest RPGs ever made?

@9Gorgeous 13 лет назад

they should make this game into a manga the storyline is cool

@grimmSOL 13 лет назад

Those were inspirations stated by Graffiti when they were developing this game... its a shame this didn't see a lot of love, 'cuz it really is a great game. It draws a lot upon the RPGs, on the SNES in particular, of the early to mid-90s. Truly the golden era of RPGs including games like Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana/Evermore, Seiken Densetsu 3, Final Fantasy III and Dragon Quest, among many others. But yeah, I really enjoyed this game. Shame it was overlooked.

@NasriNaim 15 лет назад

nice reviews!

@jzblue345 6 лет назад

Thanks for the review tho I love this game awesome battle system and story

@CoachKussenVuist 15 лет назад

looks a lot like seiken dentsu is this game from squaresoft?

@Greatnik 15 лет назад

ya, I always hated those random battles. I think FFXII got it perfect, that and kingdom hearts, those 2 combat systems just work perfectly for me.

@whatsitwho 13 лет назад

I tried to play this game but the battles killed it. At least early on. The difficulty for the game was high but only because your characters on the screen can't move through each other and sometimes the "arenas" are small so the characters in the back just can't move. You're left with one person who can attack in the battle and it happens often. Not to mention, there's so little mana and health pool. I wanted to like this game. I'll look into it again...

@EnglishTurtle 14 лет назад

A jrpg made in america. I think its very cool. Very much like Chrono Trigger.

@Ricjones1994 15 лет назад

Yeah i agree with you. This reminds me alot of Super Mario RPG for the SNES

@darkdragonforever 11 лет назад

man if this was on the nes dragon quest and final fantasy probably would'nt exist today being killed by this lol

@SsjSned 15 лет назад

this story sounds just like a manga called "Break Blade". main guy cant use magic but the rest of the world can. they use magic stones to cast magic and control mechs but he doesnt have the skill. they dig up a ancient mech from the old world and magic stones wont operate it but the main guy who dosent have magic can and its very powerfull. he also uses a big sword that has chips in it hence the name break blade. check it out. plus its gona get turned into a anime so keep a look out for it.

@dragonlord498 13 лет назад

have this game the story and characters to me are the only major plus.would've liked if it had better graphics. also apparently it is considered a glitchy game especial around mid to end part area of the game.

@Utubesuxmycock 13 лет назад

SIJUL ITS SIJUL GOD DAMMIT

@popimpi 14 лет назад

That's fair enough to say you could care less abotu what it pertains to outside of the game, but I beleive there is fair amoutn of depth to the characters compared to a LOT of other games where ther is none. Just wondering then, (in a not at all negative way,) what makes a story interesting to you?

@SENATORPAIN1 14 лет назад

thankyou i was just going to say that, no need now.

@unknown2594 15 лет назад

nice!

@InsanePickle007 13 лет назад

its a mix of final fantasy and chrono rigger withough time battle

@Haseorunemanga 15 лет назад

isn't it 16 bit?

@Sonic2332 13 лет назад

@Deiradinn It also reminds me of the battle system in Lunar: Silver Star Story and Lunar: Eternal Blue.

@sweetstrawberry1995 14 лет назад

Seems to be a good game, but would anyone whether this game was released in Europe. It's been a while since I've played anything like this. I suppose I could buy chrono trigger but this game appeals a lot more to me.

@AnimeManga3000 15 лет назад

similar to the wild arms 1,2,3 battle system!

@GadGades 12 лет назад

looks and character moves just like chrono trigger lol, the battle system kind of reminds me of lunar games for sega cd to

@TheKensei777 7 лет назад
