Golden Sun is the latest RPG craze. Experiencing great success with the first game in the series, Golden Sun is setting up to be a great collection of RPG games. Beginning with the continent of Angara, the Golden Sun universe is as diverse as any other RPG. The magic system is called psynergy and is used in combination with magical creatures called djinns, which amplify the power of the magic.
A lot of the aspects of Golden Sun are taken from Greek Mythology. These include the four elements: earth, wind, water, and fire; and also, many of the names throughout the game are Greek in origin. The new universe is very cool, and well suited for fantasy based gameplay.
Golden Sun: The Lost Age will feature much of the same style of play as the original. But there are some of the new additions. Stay tuned for all the news on this great new RPG series.
Here is a press released Game Summary:
In the climatic ending of Golden Sun, Isaac and his companions fought a fierce battle at the top of the Venus lighthouse. Despite claiming victory, they weren't able to keep the lighthouse from being ignited, and a tremendous explosion followed. The Lost Age picks up where Golden Sun left off, with characters from the original game regrouping to prevent the destruction of their world. The plot has countless twists and turns as the group grows ever closer to releasing alchemy with all its potential benefits and perils on the land.
