Breath of Death VII: The Beginning Reanimated coming on December 12th

As a seasoned RPG enthusiast with a soft spot for the undead and a penchant for humorously tragic narratives, I’m thrilled to my bones about Shadow Layer Games’ announcement of Breath of Death VII: The Beginning Reanimated. With its December 12th release date looming, I can almost hear the ghostly laughter of Sara and feel Dem’s bone-crushing might in my very soul.


Shadow Layer Games has revealed that Breath of Death VII: The Beginning Reanimated will be released on December 12th.

Originally released on Xbox Live Arcade (for Xbox 360), the refreshed version is now set for Steam release. The publisher describes it as a comprehensive remake of the original, critically acclaimed Xbox Live Indie Game titled “Breath of Death VII: The Beginning Reanimated”. They further explain that “Reanimated” has given the game an updated, polished 16-bit art style and a brand new soundtrack, skillfully composed and recorded by HyperDuck SoundWorks. Additionally, it offers new game modes, user-friendly improvements, and refinements to the user interface and controls.

In a new and enhanced version, Breath of Death VII: The Beginning Reanimated – a classic-styled, swiftly paced role-playing game – offers an enlarged and polished RPG journey. It retains the captivating elements of the initial production but, with over a decade’s passage, provides a revitalized and invigorating experience, as Bill Stiernberg from Shadow Layer Games detailed.

As a fan, I find myself immersed in the post-apocalyptic world of Breath of Death VII, where humanity has been eradicated, and the undead have risen from the ashes to rebuild civilization. I, Dem, a formidable skeleton warrior, have banded together with Sara, a spirited ghost historian, on a mission to uncover the secrets behind the invasion of monsters that threaten our new society.

Here’s the key features from the press release:

  • A charming, comedic story featuring loveable undead characters in a world where an apocalypse has wiped out the living.
  • Entirely new detailed 16-bit style sprites, animations, effects, environments, and enemies based on the designs and layouts of the original.
  • Fast-paced, turn-based combat refined with quality of life improvements to keep the action smooth, quick, and accessible.
  • Build up a Combo with Hits in battle, then unleash a powered-up attack!
  • Unite Techniques combine the multiple characters for enhanced abilities in battle.
  • New high-quality soundtrack by HyperDuck SoundWorks (Cosmic Star Heroine, Dust: An Elysian Tail).
  • Dragonduck Mode: A unique new adventure-2600-alike quest for Dem the Skeleton – collect and use key items, but avoid the ferocious Dragonducks.
  • Hard+ Mode: Even tougher enemies for players who need a challenge.

Breath of Death VII: The Beginning Reanimated is coming to PC via Steam on December 12th.
