Top 10 Best RPGs of 2013

May 17, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

Best Role Playing Games 2013: If you thought RPGs released this year were good, wait till you see the RPGs of 2013.

#9 Mistborn: Birthright

Readers of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series may find the name familiar. That shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, as Mistborn: Birthright is set to serve as the first videogame based on the popular fantasy book series.

Mistborn: Birthright is set as a prequel to the main series, during the early years of the Final Empire. The player takes on the role of a young Fendin "Fiddle" Fathvell, a Mistborn who must come into his own as he learns how to control his powers and abilities.

For those not in the know, the books themselves describe the Mistborn's abilities in a very videogame-like manner. In short, the Mistborn have the ability to control metals, by first consuming a small shard of them. Consuming certain types of metal (iron, tin, gold, etc) will give the Mistborn the ability to perform preternatural "Allomantic" feats such as pulling oneself towards any piece of metal, or propelling others from oneself. Some metals may also allow a Mistborn to influence the minds of others through suggestion. It's a bit like the Force, except a lot more nuanced—and actually explained in technical terms. The world has many Allomancers who can perform one or two of the feats, but not the others—the Mistborn is set apart from the rest by being able to perform all of them.

Needless to say, Mistborn: Birthright is going to be an interesting game—especially since Brandon Sanderson is writing the story and dialogue.
