Johnny Ohm, GIZORAMA - "All too often we to get caught up in the rapid evolution and distribution of gaming technology. We fawn over the bright and shiny lights that AAA developers blast in our faces, but oftentimes that blinding light obscures smaller titles, some of which are far more deserving of our time and hard(ly)-earned cash. It seems like high time we harken back to the days of old, where stories carried the game and graphics were considered good if they had more than three colors. SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition, a turn-based dungeon crawler by Black Shell Games, brings us back to the days of old with a text-based blast straight from the nostalgic past."
Not only is he a game designer with two very good games under his belt
(Overture and SanctuaryRPG) but an impressive resume that features Software
Development and co-founding Black Shell Media.
SteamFirst: “Your name is Lorphio. You are a Barbarian, of Goern descent. You were born a very old monk. You named yourself The Great One. Raised by an anteater, you became a god among women in bed. You’ve always regretted kissing that singing fish. One to enjoy the dark arts, you tend to stub your toe a lot. Today you found out that were adopted… a dark cloud passes overhead. You close your eyes. Out of nowhere, a woman jumps out at you and claws your left toe.
SanctuaryRPG stands alone as the first video game rendered in ascii. How does this combination of roguelike, RPG, and text-based adventure game fare?
