Cthulhu Saves the World is a tribute to old-school JRPGs and is similar to their previous effort, Breath of Death VII: The Beginning, but the game overall has a bit more polish this time. The overall graphics have been improved and the battle screens look much better in this title. The main quest will last you rougly 6-10 hours, which is an incredible value for a game that's selling for a dollar. You now have save notebooks that allow you to save whenever you want as opposed to having designated save areas in their previous game. Also, there are 1ups available that will let you retry a battle if you fail. There are seven playable characters, one of them being Cthulhu from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. The humor from Breath of Death VII is still intact and the character interactions are well written. There are multiple difficulties and post-game modes for some extra replay value for those who want more after finishing the main quest. Cthulhu Saves the World retailed for $3 when it came out, but the developer has since dropped the price to $1 making this one a must-buy for old-school RPG fans!
Final Verdict: Cthulhu Saves the World is an excellent tribute to old-school JRPGs that any fan of the genre should give a look.
