In honour of Spooktober, I decided to boot this one up a clever parody of classic JRPGs, and honestly, I’m all for it. I love its sense of humour and unique aesthetic. It’s definitely on the short side, but it’s a fun little ride while it lasts. You can grab it super cheap bundled with Call of Cthulhu, so it’s an absolute steal if you can snag that deal.
Hood classic. Better than the remake as well. Lot's of good memories on xbox 360 indie marketplace playing this game the lab is my favorite area and its my favorite of the two zeboyd games of this style.
The penultimate sequel to Breath of Death VI that began with Breath of Death I. And if you think you've already played Breath of Death I, II, III, IV, V, & VI before, you haven't until you've experienced the glory that is Breath of Death VII. It'll make you think that I - VI didn't even happen because VII is the only one that exists that you need to play.
pixel-art RPG with turn-based combat, full of humor and nods to classic Japanese RPGs ✅Ability to choose bonuses when leveling up ✅Very good price for the game's content ✅Fast, dynamic combat system with turn-based duels ✅Ability to save anywhere ✅Four diverse characters, each with a different role in the party ❌Very basic equipment system, only weapons and armor, no helmets, accessories, or more advanced equipment ❌Only a four person party and the inability to recruit more heroes, which limits experimentation with the team ❌Repetitive music, and in some dungeons, there's no music at all ❌Little interaction with the world ,you can't search shelves, barrels, or pots, and secrets are few and far between ❌Pixel graphics ❌❌Verdict: [strike] Terrible [/strike], [strike] Bad [/strike], [b] Mediocre [/b], [strike] Decent [/strike], [strike] Good [/strike], [strike] Very Good [/strike] (Rating scale for short games, retro indie simulator games, and similar) [quote]If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45994324/admin/reviews_manage/]CuratorKingViking[/url] and he we group: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/CuratorKingViking]GroupKingViking[/url] If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask.

Had to drop this one. I've tried to play it a few times over the years, but I don't last long. It tries to emulate the NES era of RPG's, particularly Dragon Quest, but it falls flat. The story is almost entirely jokes, at this point basically extremely out of date one liners. And from an art design standpoint, it looks worse than a lot of the games it's trying to emulate. Dungeon areas are sprawling and everything looks the same, so it's kind of a pain to navigate. Combat is okay, but a little weird, there's an abundance of options for what are essentially very simplistic battles. The idea is to be quick, enemies get stronger each turn, and you get more recovery the faster you win. But I just couldn't get into a good flow.
It's enjoyable for what it is: an extremely linear, quick homage/parody to NES JRPGs. It lightens the grinding, gets straight to the point, and has a little humor along the way. I enjoyed the 4th wall breaks, but it's nowhere near as good as its followup, Cthulhu Saves the World. Good for the money (it's frequently on sale for under a dollar).
Breath of Death is a grindy, old school JRPG on the level of the original Dragon Warrior. There are some interesting options at level up and some minor humor, but you have to really be up for 95% of your time to be spent in random encounter fights.
After finishing this game here's my review. I already played this game before so I could easily get a refund but I won't because I want to show that anyone can beat this game. The game is a parody of old school games in the past and it's nothing to take seriously. The game is really fun giving you choices everytime you level up. It does have a story but I won't spoil since that's up to players to find out what happens in it. Lets just say you aren't missing much. You can get it with a bundle on sales so it's best to get that while it happens. The gameplay is very generic and has enemies that are pretty original when it comes to concepts. Some you can tell just wanted people to just beat the game like flying lab coats as enemies to fight. The music is nice to listen to especially the boss fight music which is smashing. There is a Resident Evil 4 refrerence which should be easy to find. If you want this game get it when its on sale. If you want a quick game to play and finish get this game. I hope my review makes you think twice about getting the game. Have a good day.
Undead mage casts fireball into his own skull and yells retro. I laugh so hard my cat files for emancipation. Pixel necromancer is now my therapist. Ten out of ten bones would die again
