Alright guys, this game is only in Alpha and already it is showing a LOT of promise. Currently it is one of the best, and most strict roleplaying games I have ever experienced on byond. For anyone out there that's a true roleplayer or even just a fan, this is a must play.
* Gameplay - 9 *
The gameplay is really strict. Though there are still a few minor bugs still being worked out, its far greater than the average BYOND game. There's not much more I can really say about the gameplay, but as every good roleplaying game you'll find there's ALWAYS something new happening. There's always going to be something exciting, boring, or even dramatic.
* Presentation - 9 *
The presentation in this game is FANTASTIC. The skinning was the work of nothing more than a pro. It's very attractive and really adds a boost to the game. Althought some of the icons could be better, I'm giving the presentation a 9, because I believe it really deserves it.
-Login (5/5)
Okay, so the login screen is pretty basic. There is no "Load/New/Delete", there is only a "Begin Game". You get but only one character per byond key. Which is, in my opinion, how every good roleplaying game should be. Also, there are no login/logout messages. Though I'd prefer there were, I find it really enhances the roleplaying experience.
-Skin (10/10)
When I first logged in my thoughts were, "Wow, this dude REALLY need to learn how to make a proper skin." Of course, once I cliked on, "Begin" things started to appear which seemed to really surprise me.
-Icons (8/10)
The icons are pretty good for most part. The mob itself could use some modifying, along with more options to make it better fit a character. There a few other icons that look like scribbles and circles; for me it really seemed to lower the games standards.
* Originality - 8 *
As much as I'd love to give this a 10, Sigrogana is based off a single-player game known as Sigrogana Legend - Tale of Oniga. (See more here:

* Community - 10 *
Okay, now here is a 10 that I'm happy to give. The Sigrogana Community is filled with excellent roleplayers. And as much as I'd love to say everyone here is nice and sweet, that's just not going to happen. In my opinion a good roleplaying game needs both nice, and dickish players to really create an ideal roleplaying environment. If it were a simple nice environment all you'd see were people sitting down for a cup of tea after defeating a bunch of NPCs. Or perhaps if it were a chaotic enviroment with egotistical players then you'd hear a bunch of whining and moaning amongst players about getting destroyed while they're only working to level up so they can do just that. No, this game is mixed with a mixed environment which really make for an great roleplaying experience.
* Wrap-Up (Overall - 9.5) *
So if you like to run around in games randomly killing players and monsters to level up so you can kill stronger players, and like ruining the roleplaying experience of others, then GET THE FUCK OUT. This game is NOT for you. Anyone that is caught doing this is sure to make it to the banlist. No, this is a strict roleplaying game, anything less isn't excepted. So for all roleplayers out there, come and join the Sigrogana Legend, a story that seems to write itself.
