This is a VERY short old-school styled RPG, taking around 5 hours to beat (or 6-7 if you want to tackle the optional boss and do the necessary level grinding). It's more so a parody and homage to the beginning games of Breath of Fire, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, so the writing and story is not really anything special or captivating. That being said, it is still a very fun game, with some unique mechanics that I think serve the game very well. For Random battles, each area only has a certain amount of random battles before they atop appearing, however if you need to grind gold or experience, you can always choose the "FIGHT" option from the menu even after your allotted random battles are used up. In addition, after each turn the enemies will get 10% stronger so you do have a pseudo time limit to finish battles quickly, but to make up for this, your HP is fully restored after each fight. This mechanic of making enemies stronger after each turn means boss fights become challenging as you need to kill them before their attacks just starting wiping your party. Each party member only has about 5 pieces of equipment they can get in the game, all straight upgrades from each other, so you don't need to worry too much about min-maxing equipment, just play and enjoy. I would say it is worth the $3 bundle along with Cthulhu Saves the World. It will provide a nice palate cleanser from all the 100+ hour games I know you have been playing. Do note that there is a Remastered version called "Breath of Death VII: The Beginning - Reanimated" which actually has Steam Achievements and has received an upgraded art style from 8-bit to 16-bit. If you enjoyed this game, you should get that one too.

A fun retro RPG which gives old school Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy vibes that is worth checking out! Plenty of fun dialogue and 4th wall breaks to make even the most calloused of gamers smile. A short adventure you can complete in an evening in about 6 hours or less (I did a decent amount of grinding as I find joy in maxing character stats). The first RPG entry in the Zeboyd Games library is worth checking out as you will get many references here that will make more sense in the company's later games like Cthulhu Save the World or Cosmic Star Heroine. Please support small creators as they are fans just like you!

Breath of Death VII is one of the best retro RPGs I’ve played in a while. The game perfectly captures the charm of old-school RPGs with a modern twist. The humor, turn-based combat, and pixel art all come together to create a memorable experience. I spent 20 hours thoroughly enjoying the adventure, with each battle and joke adding to its nostalgic appeal. For anyone who loves classic RPGs with a fun, lighthearted story, this game is absolutely worth the time. Time Investment: 20 hours Value Rating: 9/10 Stay focused. Keep grinding.

I've had it in my library for years and eventually thought i'd give it a go. Even though I have not played a lot of JRPGs I really enjoyed this. The stand out for me is the great humor. It really is very funny and there are many laugh at loud moments be it from the story, the chat between party members or the ridiculous enemies you come up against. If you just want to try and experience the game and don't want to dedicate a lot of time to it i'd recommend playing it on easy and blasting through the random battles as quickly as possible. Theres not a huge amount of choice in the game as far as your party setup goes but if you setup DEM for strength and tanking/damage, SARA for magic and healing, LITA for magic and damage and ERIK for strength and tanking/damage you really can't go wrong.
