Black Sigil to Cast RPG Shadow Over DS

Black Sigil, a new RPG, is coming to the Nintendo DS in the next few months.

Signature Devices and its video game development subsidiary Graffiti Entertainment – perhaps best known for Maze of Fate for the Nintendo DS – are getting set to bring Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled to Nintendo’s hand-held platform.

Signature said the first version of this role-playing game will hit retail sometime in the next few months. Black Sigil, which was developed by Studio Archcraft, reportedly offers a mix of strategy in gameplay and tactical elements in character placement and weapon use.

A number of side quests are offered, as well as extra areas for characters to explore, and several game segments will focus on various characters as well as the history of this particular gaming world.
