Seven years. That's how much time the fans of the Golden Sun franchise have been waiting for a new game. but they worry no more, as Golden Sun: Dark Dawn will be on stores on November 29, 2010.
The series started in 2002 on the GameBoy Advance, and is considered one of the best RPGs for the system, if not one of the best RPG series of all time. what makes it so magical?
combine gorgeous graphics, amazing soundtrack, engaging story and characters, clever puzzles and strategic combat and you have Golden Sun. Throughout the game, your characters will learn different Psyenergy (the game's magic), which can be used both in combat to defeat enemies and on the field to solve the most varied puzzles. You'll also come across Djinni, elemental spirits with special powers. Players can use them for special attacks, keep them for a stronger class (and stronger Psyenergy) or use them on summons. This cycle is what makes the combat so much deeper than it looks at first. different djinn combinations on different characters generate different classes.
The story of Dark Dawn is set 30 years after the original games, but it shouldn't be hard for newcomers to understand, as you take control of the descendants of the original heroes. 30 years after unleashing the golden sun, strange Psyenergy vortices appears across the continent, sucking the life force of the people. It is up to you to find out the cause and fix the problem.
