Description

 

 

Experience the supernatural classic, resurrected and remastered!

Breathe new life into our spectral heroes: Dem the skeleton knight, Sara the ghost historian, Lita the vampire techie, and Erik the zombie prince! Embark on a bone-rattling post-apocalyptic adventure through an undead world, now more vibrant than ever, to exhume the mysteries of the past.

 

 

Breath of Death VII: The Beginning: Reanimated has been rebuilt entirely from the ground up, no grave stones left unturned! Now with completely new detailed visuals, animation, audio, and quality of undead updates while retaining the classic feel and gameplay of the original. Revive the retro parody RPG that captures the magic of the classic era in a streamlined experience! It's to die (again) for!

 

 

  • Entirely revamped presentation: Upgraded visuals and newly polished UI, blending old-school charm with a sleek new enhanced pixel art look and feel.
  • Streamlined gameplay: Fast-paced, turn-based combat refined with quality of life improvements to keep the action smooth, quick, and accessible.
  • Tense Combo System: Wreck enemies in battle using the combo system - increase your hit count to empower your special abilities! But be cautioned, enemies increase in power each turn as well, so defeat them as efficiently as possible to stay alive! Or, undead, rather.
  • Multi-character abilities: Power through tough encounters with Unite Techniques - combine the strengths of multiple characters for more powerful or advanced effects in battle.
  • Intuitive character customization system: Achieve frequent level-ups offering branching choices to select new abilities or stat boosts to your liking.
  • New original OST: New original soundtrack created for the game from HyperDuck SoundWorks (Cosmic Star Heroine OST, Dust: An Elysian Tail OST)
  • Dragonduck Mode: Dive into an entirely unique adventure with Dem the Skeleton as he explores a brand-new world map filled with curious new relics, ghastly enemies, and grave perils. Beware the ferocious Dragonducks - these fowlish fiends' ferocity pales in comparison to their hunger to gulp down skeletal heroes whole!
  • Replayability: 4-6 hour main campaign with multiple difficulty settings and game modes for increased replay value.

 

 

Prepare to relive this undead journey in a way you've never seen before!

Reanimated, and archaic

Endless love on this incredible throwback, throwing it back on the groin of nostalgia.

Good New Old Game

Great love note to RPGs of the 80s and 90s, with some other nice nods and tributes to other game franchises as well. Funny dialogue, straight forward game play that you can easily sink a few hours into without noticing, good story. I'm only 2.5 hours in, but I've made a decent way into the game and leveled up quite nicely. If you like classic SNES or Genesis RPGs, this one is for you.

Fun but real short

The story is nice, but very short, about 6 hours for normal mode

Basic

Would it be too much to ask to get basic quality life improvement in a remaster, like a minimap for the areas you enter, or, you know, a Random Encounter Countdown for those annoying random encounters? The aesthetic is also not very inspired, just traight pathes blocked by walls. Very boring, aside MAYBE the potential to play it on harder and harder difficulties, but for that there's again the problem that you play through story-mode once, and all-a-sudden everything is unlocked. This is boring. I suggest you get Heroines of Swords and Spells instead. Unless GoG in its "eternal wisdom" removed that from its catalogue.
