Zwar kein Hit, aber zu dem Preis definitiv einen Kauf wert

Breath of Death VII – The Beginning ist ein nettes kleines Spielchen für Zwischendurch. Neben dem einwandfreien Preis- Leistungsverhältnis bietet das Spiel eigene Ideen rund um die Rundenkämpfe, einen tollen Soundtrack und vor allem respektiert es die kostbare Lebenszeit des Spielers. Im ernst: Ich kenne kein anderes JRPG, welches die Kämpfe schneller abwickelt als dieses hier! Weniger gelungen sind jedoch das öde Dungeondesign, der eher flache Humor oder die arg altmodische Grafik im NES-Stil. Das Spiel ist eben kein Überflieger, aber das muss ja auch nicht immer so sein. Wer einfach mal mithilfe eines Pseudo-Retro-JRPG's der NES-Ära in Nostalgie schwelgen möchte, liegt hier jedenfalls goldrichtig. Und wenn man mit BoDVII fertig ist, kann man sich ja gleich im Anschluss mit Cthulhu Saves the World auseinandersetzen.

Pro und Kontra:

Pro:
- das Spiel respektiert die Zeit des Spielers (Renn-Funktion, sehr schnelle Kampfabwicklung, man darf überall speichern)
- sehr guter Soundtrack
- drei verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade und ein freischaltbarer, zusätzlicher Spielmodus
- frei konfigurierbare Tastatursteuerung
- das Rundenkamfsystem bietet einige interessante eigene Ideen (Combo-System, Feinde werden mit jeder Runde stärker)
- faires Preis- Leistungsverhältnis (1,99 Euro für sechs Stunden Spielzeit zuzüglich einem weiteren Spiel)

Neutral:
- sehr altmodische Grafik im reinen NES-Stil
- die Mischung aus düsterem Post-Apokalyptischem Setting und parodistischem Humor kann meines Erachtens nicht so richtig zünden

Kontra:
- bietet leider keine Dritthersteller Gamepad-Unterstützung
- Zufallskämpfe
- langweiliges Dungeon-Design welches hauptsächlich aus öden Korridoren besteht
- aufgrund zu starker Bossgegner kann das Grinding in der zweiten Spielhälfte etwas ausarten

Es vermittelt ein schönes Retro-Feeling von klassischen RPG's, die Kämpfe erfolgen schnell und flüssig - und bieten gleichzeitig genug Tiefe, die Story ist knackig und der Parodie-Faktor sehr humorvoll umgesetzt. Viele Anspielungen auf alte Spieletitel und liebevoll geschriebene und witzige Dialoge ringen einem den ein oder anderen Lacher ab.

Der Preis ist trotz der relativ kurzen Spielzeit keinesfalls zu hoch - im Gegenteil: qualitativ betrachtet erhält man hier ein echtes Schnäppchen.

Daher (vorallem für Genre-Fans & eingesessene Spieler) absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Runden basiertes Kampfsystem, eine interessante Geschichte die gespickt ist mit Humor höchsten Levels.

Ich habe dieses Spiel durchgesuchtet, auch wenn die Kämpfe nach einer Zeit echt langweilig werden, aber das Spiel blockt nach einer bestimmten Anzahl an Kämpfen in einem Gebiet die Gegner einfach, wodurch ihr euch dann frei bewegen könnt.

Lustiges Spiel, hat mir sehr gefallen. Definitiv kaufen!

Old-School RPG im 8bit Style und taktischen Kämpfen ähnlich der Wizardry Reihe. Alles sehr einfach und Einsteigerfreundlich. Vor allem die sehr gelungene Story und der tiefschwarze Humor fesseln länger an den Bildschirm als erwartet! ...und mal ehrlich, für 1,99€ für 2 Spiele... was will man da schon falsch machen ;)

I'll say more or less the same I did about Cthulhu Saves the World seeing how imilar they are. Breath of Death VII is a love letter to old 16bit RPGs which... I have zero affinity with, never played one at the time they were popular so I have no nostalgia for them. And that's mainly the only reason I didn't really enjoyed this game and didn't bother to finish it. That however is not a valid reason to give a thumbs down, quite the contrary. You can see just how passionate the devs were with this game and that love and care passes though to the player. I might not like this nich genre, but that doesn't mean this isn't a good game.

flawed and sometimes super tedious but for some reason i still loved my time with it. my biggest complaint is the outdated JRPG gameplay mechanic where just walking around the game gets you into battles. Said battles sometimes take a long time.

A somewhat barebones RPG with an interesting leveling system allowing you to pick how you level up, some humorous dialogue/moments, and difficult combat. Unfortunately it's a bit too barebones and repetitive. Cthulhu Saves the World gives the same type of experience, but is much better in pretty much every way compared to this.

This is a short but fun (and funny!) RPG that is well worth the small price tag. I finished it in three sessions but was thoroughly entertained the whole time. Also, the soundtrack is great!

It makes me sad to give this game a negative review, because I feel that it was 80% there and just needed a little more balance to make it great, but a few key elements make it a disappointing grind.

Pros:

-Classic 80's or 90's RPG feel
-Amusing dialogue
-Level up choices make you feel like you have real control over your character

Cons:

-When you level up, you are given a choice of two stat increases or two abilities or two passive abilities. Unfortunately, you can never go back and your choices can really hurt you. In addition, there doesn't seem to be any way to review any passive abilities you're chosen for your characters. (As an example of how crazy it is, for most of my game so far my healer's normal attack is doing twice the damage of my main character fighter, and one of my main character's starting spells has increased from 20 to 25 damage over 15 levels as I didn't know he wouldn't be given good magic choices.) A skill tree of ability to re-spec is VERY needed.

-There are HUGE difficulty jumps, even between different screens in a dungeon. On one level/screen you will be completing every fight by just auto attacking, and on the next screen a slight change in enemies can wipe you on the third turn. This can begin at about the halfway point in the game.

-You can get to a difficulty jump around the 3rd town where any fight can wipe your party, so you have to spend increasing amounts of limited MP just to survive a fight, and as a result can only fight a few fights before you die. As a result the only option is to stay at the MP restore point and fight-rest-fight-rest-repeat as you SLOWLY level up to a point where you may be able to dash to the next MP restore point.

After checking the forums and finding that my experience was common and only gets worse, I gave up. The idea of fighting the SAME fight over and over for an hour to maybe level enough to advance a few more floors didn't seem too much fun.

I was playing on normal, and the game progressed from comfortable to challenging to too hard to be fun. I hope the developers do some updates and re-balancing on the second half of the game, but it seems unlikely.

Shallow gameplay, barely any equipment variety, boring music, dungeon designs are plain and sprawling for no reason. The game just lacks a sense of engagement, exploring towns is almost a waste of time as NPCs don't say anything useful or interesting, there are no gameplay hooks besides the combo system which is painfully simplistic.

Although I got this game for nearly free and it was bundled with another game, time is worth more than money and this game doesn't give you a reason to keep playing, its just so bland and forgettable.

Apparently this is supposed to be a comedic parody of 1980's RPG's.

It borrows heavily from all the worst parts of those old RPG's. Thing is, those games were doing the best they could with the technology of the time, while this is doing the worst it can with the technology of today, and on purpose.

Unfortunately I didn't find it funny or entertaining and was tired of the dull interface and poor design choices very quickly.

Less repetitive than Cthulhu Saves the World in terms of map but much more repetitive in enemy randomizing.

Feels like a beta of Cthulhu.
Idea is good but got a feeling like this one (especially images) was copied from Nintendo Final Fantasy.
Cthulhu is preferable but still is not good enough. One time play for story (both of them).

I played offline so my wife could Family Share, so don't believe my time.

A quick game with a retro battle system and some nice jokes for jrpg fans. Got it as a gift from a friend who knows I love the genre; gotta say, it was a great pick on her part!

Pros:
- Character customization choices on level up (my favorite mechanic).
- You heal and regain some MP after each fight.
- Cute head-nods and jokes to jprg topes; it's clear the creators love the genre.
- Lita is in so many ways a straight-up homage to Lucca from Chrono Trigger. Any reference to my girl Lucca is a plus.
- Perfect length to feel complete without overstaying its welcome (could have become tedious if it was longer).
- Multiple difficulty settings.
- The Fight option was nice for gaining XP outside of towns, and it was good to see a running countdown of random battles.

Cons:
- Basic storyline (though I know it's in the vein of the original Final Fantasy).
- No mini-games or anything else to shake up the gameplay (where's my Chrono Trigger-style drinking game or my Earthbound-style slot machine? Probably out of the scope of an indie game that's this length, but it would have been a nice touch in keeping with the genre and a way to break things up.)
- When picking level-up bonuses, you can't see the characters' stats, so you're making a blind pick based on what you think you maaaaaybe remember their stats are.

Overall, it was a cute, fun game to kill some time during quarantine. The same friend also gave me Chthulhu Saves the World, so that's going on my quarantine shortlist, too. Would recommend!

I'd only recommend this for fans of the JRPG genre. It's not bad, but the story is quite shallow and the jokes here and there can't save that. It's also quite short and linear.

It's sold in a pack with Cthulu Saves the World. While in some senses a 'traditional' JRPG, the battle system is innovative featuring a combo-build up/break system, and parts of the tediousness of it is removed somewhat by automatic healing after battles, and a limited number of random encounters.

In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#271 out of 558)... it's time for Breath of Death VII.

Zeboyd games have a lot of charm, and Breath of Death is no exception. It's essentially a Japanese-style RPG in the mold of Dragon Quest, rendered very low-resolution assets, relying primarily on the fundamental humor of its premise to propel players through the game, not to mention the assumed nostalgia for the 8-bit era. Honestly Breath of Death VII is one of Zeboyd's weaker titles: it relies a bit too much on grinding and the narrative element, wherein lies most of the humor, is fairly threadbare relative to the combat. Still, it's decent enough, and never falls into that trap of being too much of a parody to be enjoyable on its own merit.

I originally played this game on XBOX 360 and loved it but my 360 died on me so I've been playing games on PC since then. Anyway when I found this game on Steam I just had to get it. I really like Zeboyd Games as a publisher and highly recommend any of their RPG's.

I like the humor, the style etc but..It gets boring really fast. 90% you do nothing but grind and walk around. Even on normal you have to grind an insane amount. I assume this was made to make the game longer. It just wasnt enjoyable for me. That doesnt mean that it can't be enjoyable for others.
