About This Game Boot Hill Heroes is the first episode in a game series that fuses elements of 5d3b920ae0 Title: Boot Hill HeroesGenre: Indie, RPGDeveloper:Experimental Gamer StudiosPublisher:Experimental Gamer StudiosRelease Date: 10 Oct, 2014 Boot Hill Heroes Patch boot hill heroes ost - theme of the past. boot hill heroes igg. boot hill heroes guide. boot hill heroes. boot hill heroes pc download. boot hill heroes walkthrough. boot hill heroes xbox 360. boot hill heroes 2. boot hill heroes ps vita. boot hill heroes ost. boot hill heroes coop. boot hill heroes vita. boot hill heroes download. boot hill heroes review. boot hill heroes wiki This is a wonderful little cartoon Wild West game that is highly reminiscent of Earthbound, primarily in regards to the graphics and following along with its theme faithfully. The jokes and writing are good, the story is serviceable. However, the gameplay is very uneven in my experience - combat is creative and varied but very unforgiving at times as well, with the primary 'improvements' system feeling a little underused with how rushed the plot and locations feel when going through them.It's a fine game and worth the price, but with those caveats in mind it's not for everyone.. I really hope the next two parts come out soon because I really enjoyed this game. The spaghetti-western themes really make the story stand out and the gameply, while fairly traditional, works really well. The music cuts out everynow and again which needs to be fixed. This is a game that I've been waiting for and while I wish it had been released as a whole package, what I've played so far was fun.. Really enjoying this so far. I have become tired of all the shoddy JRPGs that have good kernel ideas but ultimately become long tedious ventures into someone's scrapbook story.This game feels like it was built in its own JRPG engine (I have no idea if it was or wasn't) and it keeps alive, presenting new characters, NPCs and items all the time. The pixel art is great too.Only gripe is that sometimes the boundary cels are a bit sloppy - for example I can walk from a green lawn, right across a chimney top etc. I hope that extra attention is given to ironing those little details out now that the big stuff has been taken care of.. Pretty immersive - I played the whole thing with my girlfriend in a few days. Those nostalgic, sprite style graphics are quite charming. There's a big lot of indie games like that, I know, but some developers are especially meticulous in their pixel art as in this case. The plot is not as sophisticated as classic titles' (only people who played Chrono Trigger and the such will get what I mean), still amazing anyway, carrying a handful of quick-witted lines. Besides, the ethnic aspects were kindly depicted and that's a major plus. I hope that there really is a sequel.. [Spoiler-Free Review]Setting an RPG in the spaghetti west just makes so much sense!Boot Hill Heroes is a modern RPG designed as a sort of homage to the glory days of the Role Playing and Wild West genres. The story is easy to follow and progresses at a snappy pace, the difficulty is forgiving (for the most part), and while it doesnu2019t allow for true u2018save anywhere!u2019 functionality, youu2019ll never feel locked-in to a play session beyond what your time allows. Despite being a linear experience overall, the game still manages to deliver a large scope RPG feel (complete with unique characters, game mechanics, and plot twists and turns throughout).It isnu2019t just an Earthbound clone.What really distinguishes this game is the setting. Everything from the types of enemies you encounter, to the locales you visit, and the weapons at your disposal remain faithful to the genre and lend a sense of authenticity to the entire experience. It's charming and cohesive, with big entrances and over-the-top performances from a cast of characters the likes of which youu2019d expect to find in Vaudeville. I wonu2019t give anything away but the characters (esp. the villains) are the true stars of the game and they donu2019t disappoint.This game has heart!Every character in the game is completely unique (in appearance and dialogue). Itu2019s hard to imagine how much work went into creating a world, one character and one house at a time, but you'll notice how meticulously places are decorated and arranged. It's a small window into who they are and the way they live. In addition to the dinnerware, youu2019ll find livestock penned in barns and stables, people working the farms and such: towns feel alive.Hat MechanicHats are the means by which your characters change their appearances and acquire new abilities. Theyu2019re equipped, but donu2019t produce any defensive bonuses. This is crucial to what makes them work, once you've unlocked the skills associated with a new hat, you can choose to wear another hat for purely aesthetic purposes. In this way, you'll never have to worry about hats being outclassed by others discovered down the line. Itu2019s a system that encourages experimentation. Receiving new hats throughout your adventure never feels old, you'll rush to try each one on as soon as you get them. Unfortunately there is some overlap in unlocked abilities so not every hat provides you with a completely new set of unlearned skills.The writing is clever and witty!Especially in battles where enemies are introduced and later eulogized depending on your performance. I wish there was a greater variety of phrases rather than one or two for each type of foe, but I always looked forward to seeing how they would come to grips with being defeated: I know at least one or two lives were changed thanks to my relentless beatings.Dialogue could use a bit of tightening up overall. In battles you'll sometimes get a message detailing every aspect of what an enemy attack does. Lick is probably the most egregious example of what Iu2019m trying to describe here, u201cWeak physical damage with small chance for confusion that slightly heals the user.u201d Thankfully, the developer has demonstrated a willingness to address issues as they're identified.The graphics in battles arenu2019t the bestu2026A bit rough around the edges shall we say? Donu2019t expect to be blown away. Some of the enemies look like they were created in MS Paint. In addition, the font style (all caps, some spacing issues) makes it somewhat difficult to read whatu2019s being said at times. Iu2019m not saying you canu2019t read it, Iu2019m saying youu2019ll appreciate how easy it is to read text in other games.The Music/Soundtrack!!!Does the industry have an award for Videogame Music of the Year? What won? This is better.Missing content from PS Vita version?This is the definitive package, all content released on other platforms is being included in the Steam release.Post-Release Support?Boot Hill Heroes Part 1 is finished but new features have been added post-release (including a new mini map feature in the latest patch). Since the game is being spread out over multiple episodes, the developer has seen fit to reward early adopters by offering each DLC release free at launch (free for one week), the price then becomes $0.99 each. What does this mean? Buy the game now and get all future episodes for free.TLDR:If you've got any interest in RPG games of old, get Boot Hill Heroes. This game is special.. Until now I defeated Monty Spades in the game and I like to say this is one of the most worthy PC games ever. Best of 2014.. If you are a fan of SNES rpg's (Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy), you'll like this game. It has that Earthbound asthetic which is pleasing to the eyes. There are also some Earthbound refences hidden in there as well. The developers worked hard on this game. The music is composed by Jake "Virt" Kaufman the composer for Shovel Knight, he is very talented, the music sets the tone. Great game, I highly recommend this game.. A retro RPG set in a whimsical take on the old west. The graphics are quite good with some expressive sprite animation that reminds me of good SNES era RPG's. The story is fairly straight forward and full of the usual western cliches, but its well enough told and builds to a good conclusion at the end of this chapter, certainly setting up interest for whats going to happen in the next chapter. The combat is turn based but each action needs a certain charge before it will perform, so a large part of the strategy in combat is timing, picking what moves to use and when. This really makes the combats quite tactical and raises them above the usual "Pick an option from the menu and wait" fare thats typical of older JRPG. Skills ("vantages") are learned by wearing different hats, after each combat you will get a certain amount of skill points that will be assigned to the skill set the hat gives you, once you have earned enough for a skill you learn it permanently, even if you take the hat off. You can only have four skills equiped at once so this adds another wrinkle to the already interesting combat. All in all I had a great time with this game in the 15 odd hours it took me to complete, well worth the price.Pros:Good amount of content for the priceIts the wild westGood combat system that is deeper than you might expectCons:Some grindingFinal boss will murder your face (You can click retry until you beat him though). This is truly an enjoyable western experience, bringing together JRPGs and westerns in an amazing way that makes for an incredibly fun game.. I need more wild west RPG. I do recommend it for because this game combine fun battle sytem, great soundtrack and interesting story plus I don't think I ever saw any other RPG in wild west setting.
