Good Game, Great Price
Breath of Death VII: The Beginning is a parody retro RPG made to emulate the 8-bit era. Everything from that era, from the graphics, to the turn-based style of play, are lovingly carried forward and even poked fun of. A ... Read Full Review

Cool retro adventure!
Breath of Death VII: The Beginning isn't just a parody of retro RPGs of the 80s and 90s. In some ways, it even improves on the old turn-based formula. The addition of an enemy counter on the top of the screen that shows ... Read Full Review

One of the very best indie games on XBL. An old-school RPG, and sometime parody, for $1 its a steal! Play it now! A+

RPGs taking place in post-apocalyptic worlds are pretty common, but RPGs starring undead characters is still quite fair game. Breath of Death VII: The Beginning is an Indie Games titles released for Xbox Live that attemp... Read Full Review
