Nostalically-brilliant Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled took the Silver Medal for our Vaporware Award last year, due to its ever-elusive release date evasion. Well, no more, apparently, as publisher Graffiti Entertainment has announced that the game has finally gone gold.As you are likely aware, Black Sigil is the first game from indie Canadian developer Studio Archcraft, and is meant as a throw-back to the old days of 16-bit RPG classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI.
The game follows a young knight named Kairu, one of the only people in the world without magic. The game reportedly boasts 40-50+ hours of gameplay and a tactically based turn-based battle system. The game has been in the public eye for several years now, always eluding its release dates.
This time, though, the release date is straight from the publisher, so it has to be reliable. ...Right? Right?! ^ ^;
Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled will be available for Nintendo DS on March 17, 2009 in North America.

I've been watching youtube videos of this game and it looks fun.
I agree. The graphics and gameplay look like a great throw-back to the SNES era, which is a really good thing.
I haven't seen much of the story, but I at least like the premise. Fingers officially crossed for good things.
