    Review: Breath of Death VII: The Beginning: Reanimated

    2024 has been my year of playing remakes, remasters, and re-releases of games I never played or never finished for various reasons. The latest entry on that list is Breath of Death VII: The Beginning: Reanimated, ShadowLayer Games' full remake of Zeboyd Games' indie darling that I never played the first time around. This brief yet fulfilling game is precisely what I needed to get a necessary RPG fix during recent weeks when life gave me little time to sit down and play games.

    Breath of Death VII takes place in a distant, post-apocalyptic fantasy version of our world, akin to that in the Shannara book series. After a weapon of mass destruction completely decimates the world and wipes out humanity, undead beings like vampires, zombies, and ghosts eventually rise up and create new civilizations. These undead live in peace and harmony for generations until evil rears its ugly head. At this point, players meet Dem, a skeleton knight who acts as a silent protagonist.

    [...]

    Arguably, the most amazing upgrade in Breath of Death VII: The Beginning: Reanimated is the all-new soundtrack by Hyperduck Soundworks. I'm a fan of Hyperduck Soundworks (as evidenced by my review of Dust: An Elysian Tail's soundtrack) and they deliver the goods yet again. I watched some videos of the original Breath of Death VII, and though its chiptune music was solid, it pales compared to their characteristically epic-sounding compositions here. That being said, an option to play the game with the original music would be worthwhile.

    Breath of Death VII: The Beginning: Reanimated is a delightful remake of a good game. The original Breath of Death VII is a favorite among indie game fans for a reason, and this version is even better. With lovely graphics, solid gameplay, fantastic music, amusing writing, a manageable length to fit into any busy schedule, and a satisfying RPG experience for half the price of a movie ticket, Breath of Death VII: The Beginning: Reanimated is worth your time.

    Score: 83/100
