Boot Hill Heroes

The story and overall experience of this game is best enjoyed on the Steam Deck. It is a very good game to just play on the PC too as a wonderful tribute to the West, Earthbound, JRPGs and just good videogame storytelling. However, the game just feel "right" on the Steamdeck. Although playing this game on a big screen with friends is also fun once you unlock new party members your friends can actually control them in battle. I know a lot of RPGs have that function even though it is not widely used but more should. The written story in this game is extremely well crafted. I really like the thought put into the writing. It is also fun to play combat wise and the music was well composed.

Only got a little time in it and already like it. Good game overall. 8.5/10

This game has no business, being as good as it is! I bought Boot Hill Heroes ages ago. It's been lingering in the darkest recesses of my library. I'm surprised, I was able to find it under all the dust & just as surprised, that I didn't contract a sinus infection, from blowing away said dust. For some reason I decided to fire this up & give it a rip. I'm so glad I did! BHH has so much character & charm. The characters are awesome, the story is spectacular, the world isn't huge, but the pacing helps mask that, the combat & skill system is a bit to get used to, but once you do, it's pretty good. The only real blackmark I'd give the game is due to a few achievements.

I mean it seemed okay but, meh.

why did i buy this?

With how popular the mother series, and all the attention Oddity is getting as a mother fan-game; it is BANANAS that this game isnt huge. Honestly, I feel like the developers took out all the annoying parts of the mother series and really left a purely polished mother-like game. I feel like no in-game item mechanic, and your party autohealing after every battle is just SO convenient and nice. It makes the game simply focus on each battle and doesnt make a hassle to explore. When I was first on the fence to pick up this game; I was really turned off by the theme. I really want another Mother game, with the wacky characters, and high fantasy low sci-fi themes. On the contrary, this game is quite grounded, with very little to no fantasy... very spaghetti western. It is something that you would expect out of Red Dead... but a mother-like game? Idk, not sure it would work... Welp, glad to say I was so wrong, it works, and it is super engaging! This game needs more attention for sure, I really hope it becomes a classic in the future!

Great little game, Ive always been meaning to finish it but keeps getting put off. I even bought the DLC after the fact because it's worth it!
