Magical Starsign (DS)

Magical Starsign ScreenshotEarth Gummy GET! After a pretty long battle and a very poignant scene (in FMV no less) with the Stone Giant – accompanied by a rather awesome bit of synthy guitar soloing) the gummy is mine. I’ve now been summoned back to Puffoon, conveniently enough, where the final gummy awaits.

This game is really strange – it manages to retain its cuteness and just-plain-silly-ness even though there’s a pretty epic tale being woven around it. The magical system is pretty good too, if a little repetitive, with new spells and abilities still being added fairly regularly, despite all my characters being level 40+ (do they get mounts? :)). It’s in the daft little details, though, that these things shine. For example, the place I’ve just been was full of these little cubey things called Pyrites. One asked if it could come with me, which prompted a yes/no dialog box. Needless to say I said yes. Then another asked me. Then another. And the requests became stranger and more obscure each time. Finally, I selected a pyrite to speak to it and the dialog box popped before it had even finished asking.

So anyway – next stop Puffoon!
