![]() ![]() In truth, all of this was just a clever game of deception by Syn herself, who secretly killed the final warrior in an attempt the feed an endless warfare period over the lands (20 years later, this resembles the plot from Ubisoft’s For Honor …).Ĭardinal Sys was probably one of the most underrated games of its period, yet it was a game difficult to master but very fun to play which would have deserved a much better fate. Like in many other games ( Mortal Kombat, anyone?) each clan would send its greatest warrior to battle for supremacy. After turning the scrolls into three inscribed swords that held the knowledge of the Book, she then declared a tournament. It is at this point that a new a mysterious and powerful sorceress, known as Syn, appeared brandishing the icon of the Wanderer that he had used as a symbol of clan unity. Yet, as time passed by and with the land dying again, the Wanderer divided the Book into scrolls and gave one to each clan before he vanished before their very eyes, with the results that the Clans entered a new war for the controls of the Scrolls and the subsequent reclaims of the Bloodlands. With the help of his Book of Knowledge, which bore words of harmony and peace, all Clans put aside their weapons for many years. At a certain point in history a mysterious being, named the “Wanderer”, succeeds in putting an end to the carnage. ![]() The plot around the game sees an almost endless war going on amongst the Clans of the Bloodlands. So, when 989 Studios published Cardinal Syn (developed by Kronos Digital Entertainment in 1998) the title was an instant buy for me. One of the genres I liked the most was beat ’em up, whose higher point was Tekken(IMHO). Sure, my cup of tea was action-driven games or JRPGs, but new titles kept coming out in every genre, from arcade-style flight sims (like Air Combat, latter known as Ace Combat) to soccer managers or arcade soccer titles (like Libero Grande). In my early days with the PS1 I was experimenting a lot trying out different kinds of games.
