Boot Hill Heroes

This game is beautiful. Thanks for making this series!

A lovingly crafted tribute to classics like the Mother series in particular, Boot Hill Heroes still manages to have its own identity with a unique battle system and fun, whimsical old west setting. This game's more or less a lengthy prologue to the bigger adventure to come, and well worth your time if you're into this sort of classic-style RPG.

Boot Hill Heroes is a rare gem, an RPG set in the wild west. A fantasy all it's own, it has a unique presentation that easily reminds me of Earthbound mixed with Chrono Trigger. The great things: - No Random Encounters (think Chrono Trigger, enemies are visible) - Time based combat system (very strategic, and surprisingly fast paced) - Excellent story - It's obvious the developer has done their research and thoroughly enjoys the history of the American West, and that shines through in the game's story. - Awesome soundtrack - Jake Kaufman's master touch on display here (Also composed Shovel Knight). The music is great, and the tunes as unique as the game itself. - Perfect 16 bit graphics - Top-knotch sprite design, and high quality maps and scenes make this game incredibly immersive. - Import your characters into the sequel, Boot Hill Bounties! - One of my favorite features, bring forth your characters and their stats and skills into the next game! Any hitches? - At 10 hours the game length is great for the price. There is a 1.99 DLC that extends the story after you reach the end. But the end kinda leaves off in the middle right where the story starts to really hit the prairie dirt running at all horses, and I was glad I had already picked up the sequel. So if you're going to pick this up, and you enjoy it, be prepared to grab the sequel because that 10 hours will go by quickly. tl;dr -- If you loved Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, or anything to do with the wild west? Stop what you're doing, drop the $8.99, grab your six guns, and play this damn gem of a game.
