Breath of Death VII: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Available for only 80 MSP, about a dollar, and taking about 5-10 hours to beat (depending on how deliberate you are at grinding and exploring). Designed with a deliberately nostalgic-retro vibe with few animations and many "modern" conveniences such as improved pacing, quicker turn-based combat mechanics, and a capped number of [[Random Encounter|Random Encounters]] in an area, the game was viewed favorably by reviewers and has sold over 40,000 copies. The developers even noted that about two-thirds of gamers who tried the demo ended up buying the already-cheap game anyway.

Since then, the creators have released another game with equal levels of snark and parody called ''[[Cthulhu Saves the World]]''. Yes, the title is indeed accurate in regards to the plot. Both games are also available on [[Steam]] in a two-for-one pack, so you don't need an XBOX to play them; once again, they are still almost absurdly cheap for the content. The PC versions even include new content, such as new party members, more dungeons, and an alternate campaign in ''[[Cthulhu Saves the World]]''.

 

* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Zeboyd would like you to know that, due to legal obligations, they were forced to include one of these levels.<ref>It's a joke, of course.</ref>

* [[After Combat Recovery]]: After each fight, you regain full hit points and a few magic points. Unless you park at save points and enter battles from the menu until the random encounters turn off, you'll be scrambling to keep your party members' magic points afloat. [[Good Bad Bugs|Except for Sara, who regenerates a large chunk of her MP after every battle even if you don't elect to increase her post-battle MP regeneration when she levels up.]]

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''[[Cthulhu Saves the World]]'', which features similar gameplay and writing.

* [[Take That]]: Dem grumbling about the shortness of the game is a jab at players who complain about the (fairly modest) price of Indie games.

* [[A Winner Is You]]: The last screen, right after {{spoiler|everybody dis-exists.}}

* [[Wrench Wench]]: Lita is a gearhead who specializes in taking out machines. She's in on the mission to get her hands on abandoned equipment.
