Breath of Death VII released to XBox Live Marketplace

Back in March, we brought you a smary sit-down with Zeboyd Games about their RPG parody, Breath of Death VII: The Beginning.  Well, we’ve got an exciting press release:

Zeboyd Games is proud to announce that their retro parody RPG, Breath of Death VII: The Beginning was officially released on the XBox 360 Indie Game Marketplace today, April 22, 2010. Created by a team of two (and some talented freelance musicians), Breath of Death VII is a living testament that the power of friendship can conquer any evil (as long as you have enough MP).

“We’re big fans of classic console RPGs,” said Breath of Death VII designer and programmer, Robert Boyd, “and have been disappointed that this style of games has largely left the home consoles for the portable systems in recent years. Thanks to XBox Live Indie Games, we’ve been able to bring the genre back to the big screen in all its pixelated glory. Not only that, but the game is only 80 MS points ($1 USD). That’s like eighty times cheaper than what these things cost back in the day!”

Wow this game is amazing for a dollar.

Awesome price!

I will try it of course.

Wow, I'd love to try that. Unfortunately, I don't own a 360

will give it a try for such a low price.

I'm definitely going to get this. Price is right, looks like my kind of game. After I'm done with Madworld, I should have some time to sink into this. I wish there were more original rpgs like this on XBL. Not just old ports.

Edit: I just bought the game and played some of it. It seems to be quite fun thus far. If you are a fan of the jrpg genre, I definitely think the game is worth your 80 pts and your time.
