New release: Blacksword Chronicles

Dave Yen writes in to announce Blacksword Chronicles, a free RPG maker mini-jRPG developed and entered into Game Dev Fort’s recent Indie Game Maker Contest by the 3-person Watermark RPG team.

Blacksword Chronicles sports the following narrative premise:

Within the ruins of a fallen empire, in a room long forgotten by the world, a swordsman awakens remembering only the words:

“Jurdin Kylor must die.”

Thus begins the tale of a swordmaster’s pursuit of a shadowy nemesis across a dark continent ravaged by wars and evil. This is the first chapter of an epic set in a massive world of aurablades and mages, of elves and demons, of secret societies and ancient cults.

According to Yen, the game is short–only 2.5 hours long–but it also has the advantage of being free. You can download it here for Windows.
