Breath of Death VII: The Beginning is an excellent homage to the JRPGs of the 8 & 16-bit eras. The game wastes no time and gets you pretty much right into it, with a brief explanation of your stats and character. The battles in the game are turn-based, a battle system not too commonly seen these days. Stepping onto a save point will restore all of your life & magic, allowing to recharge in between battles if a save is near. The graphics are composed of pixels, which are simple but pack quite a bit of charm. The characters and dialogue exchanges are well written and full of humor, with many references to video games of old packed in there. The game will last you roughly about four to six hours, which is a pretty sweet deal for a buck. There are also hard and score modes if you want to go back and replay the game again. If you cut your teeth on the RPGs of the old days, Breath of Death VII should spark up some nostalgia while providing a fun new game at the same time.
Final Verdict: Breath of Death VII: The Beginning is a throwback turn-based RPG that fans of old-school JRPGs will love!
