Dayle Grixti of Dark Gaia Studios writes in to announce the release of Heroes of Legionwood, a jRPG with wRPG elements (or as he describes it, “like someone took the best parts of Final Fantasy and merged them into Baldur’s Gate“).

In case you haven’t guessed, that would be Songbringer. You may recall me mentioning Songbringer in our last Back to Back; the game got funded to the tune of […]
