Breath of Death VII

It's a parody RPG that also happens to be fun and deep enough to keep you interested.

Combat is reminiscent of Dragon Quest 1 (the original) and doesn't have any animation, but there's a great combo system and your party gains health back after every fight. Speed is a factor because enemies gain 10% more strength each round, making battles very fast. All these combined make the lack of battle/spell animation not much of a big deal. The story is very funny also, with references to other RPGs.

It's a great price already but if you see it on sale, this is a great buy.

I got this game on sale and haven't played it until now. This game is a reference to other popular video games that are being developed at this time. From Resident Evil 4, Mass Effect, and other games I probably missed while playing this game. The game takes place in the future where you a Skeleton named Dem explore the world you are in until you reach the end of the game. You get 3 other party members with you in the game—Sara a woman who uses magic, Lila a vampire techie, and Erik a zombie prince. In this game when you first play you're gonna have a hard time since for me I wasn't used to the game mechanics. Every turn the enemy has their attack increased by 10 percent. If the battle goes on longer without you killing them their gonna kill you If you don't do it fast enough. There's a combo system every time you hit an enemy making you be able to do more damage until you break the combo bringing it down to zero. Every time you beat a battle you get money and EXP that you use to level up and every time you level up you get a new passive skill or magic you can use for your party members or on enemies depending on the party members. Every time you die you restart at the last save point you are at. If you defeat a certain amount of monsters in an area you don't have to keep seeing random encounters every time you walk in the world of Breath of Death 7. For mid-bosses and bosses, I just backtrack until I get to a point where I'm strong enough to beat them. There are potions that I found from the chest so use them wisely. If you're gonna get this game get it while it's on sale. Here in Germany, this game along with another game is worth under 1 euro so it's worth it.

The concept of playing as undead warriors: A skeleton, Ghost... etc, is a unique take on a party in an rpg!
The soundtrack is bopping.
As the battles progress, the enemies get stronger, but so does the player, as the characters build up a combo gauge. Certain moves power increases the higher combo count you have, and other moves break the combo.
When characters level up, you get the option to choose which stats to increase, or which moves to learn which makes the characters quite customizable.
The battles go by super fast, so grinding doesn't feel like a chore. Speaking of grinding, the game provides players with healing spots. So, you can continuously heal. You can also choose to engage in battles whenever you want from the menu, so you can fight all the enemies in an area while right next to a healing spot. It's super convenient.
It's a cute short little rpg that I really like.
