Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled is a role-playing game for the Nintendo DS that was released in 2009. Developed by Studio Archcraft, it features traditional turn-based combat with a heavy emphasis on narrative and character development. The game is set in a fantasy world where magic is common, yet one of the protagonists, Kairu, is unable to use it, resulting in discrimination and a quest for belonging. It draws inspiration from classic JRPGs of the 1990s, evident in its sprite-based graphics and intricate plot.
