From the press release (at work, so just cut/paste, haven’t played yet). Looks from the screenshots like an old Super Nintendo-like RPG. You create golems and other stuff and rule the world. Their web page has the standard Albert Einstein-looking mad scientist. What did Einstein ever do to be demonized as the stereotypical mad scientist? He always looked like a kindly uncle or something. Peter Cushing has a kind of chiseled, mean look that would be easy to draw, and has the advantage of actually playing a mad scientist in movies, and plus he destroyed Alderaan… I dunno. Leave Einstein alone!!!! Anyway.

Wow, that sounds really neat. That wasn’t on my radar at all. Now lets just hope it’s better that the golem crafting system in that Mana game (Legend of Mana?) for the PS1 (how in god’s name they expected anyone to figure that out I an hardly imagine).
