Now with the SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition, the role playing experience gets even deeper than its predecessor. Black Edition adds an array of brand new classes, and it even allows you to design the appearance of your custom protagonist. That’s the beauty of SanctuaryRPG: Edition as a video game, it has all the right elements to engage any gamer that is a serious fan of the genre. It really goes to show that there are certain intangibles in gaming that simply transcend technology, intangibles that tap into your imagination and make you invest yourself into a game world and its well thought-out systems. Back in their heyday these games were strongly captivating gamers (and keeping their virginity intact), and SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition manages to do just that. It’s almost shocking how it can reel you in and immerse you into its binary world. SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition is a thoroughly designed and mind boggling deep role playing epic, as every inch of it has a purpose and every inch of it is crucial to the whole experience. Spells, combo attacks, character re-positioning, and extravagantly named ultra special attacks, the combat system literally has it all. Such is its design, and there’s so much going. You sometimes forget how it’s supposed to be turn-based affair and that you can take your time during your turn, because you can’t help but react impulsively out of instinct. What really stands out about the experience is the battle system, SanctuaryRPG:Black Edition has a fast paced and truly engaging turn-based battle system, and you find yourself so swept away by the flow of it that it’s easy to have a split second slip-up and immediately taste defeat after. SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition is a text based adventure where all choices and commands require you to type in the relevant option, and they’re all single key strokes and prompts, so it’s easy to get comfortable with the controls and mechanics. It is a fully realized epic that not only pays homage to the roots and beginnings of video games and the RPG genre, but also offers an experience that warmly welcomes both nostalgic fans and young newcomers alike. That said, it doesn't change the fact that SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition is quite honestly the first ASCII RPG on Steam, ever.Įven with technology as advanced as it is today with plenty of indie developers being able to produce some beautiful looking works utilizing the most modest of budgets, developer Black Shell Games chose to turn the clock back and ambitiously craft an ASCII role playing game. When SanctuaryRPG: Classic is already free and such a darn fine game too, spending money on the Black Edition on one hand is a no-brainer given the wealth of substantial improvements, but on the other hand the appeal of those said improvements will only be appreciated by those who are really into this unique ASCII sub-genre of text RPGS. SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition, the expansion to the original version which now goes by the name SanctuaryRPG: Classic, has gotten out of Beta and is now ready for purchase (although free incremental version updates and fixes will surely follow for this dense text-driven RPG epic).
