Wild West role-playing games are sparse, and the most recognizable title is Rockstar’s “Red Dead” series. “Boot Hill Heroes” however means to dig in its spurs and gallop onto the set delivering a unique mix of gameplay and story-telling. The Spaghetti Western style RPG feels like one of the early “Final Fantasy” titles mated with the aforementioned “Red Dead,” creating an 8-bit, turn based role-playing game. The result is admittedly hilarious.

Action is very similar to “Final Fantasy.”

The blocky environments feature animals and NPCs to interact with, as well as various buildings to explore. Many of these locations aren’t really necessary for the adventure, but they allow Kid to collect useful items, whether for personal use or sale. Occasionally I even hit the jackpot, such as when I “borrowed” $9.95 from a Swellsville home. Yes, opening crates and discovering money is referred to as borrowing. Other goodies found about the game include feathers, eggs, flowers, and clothes. As the game explains, some items are useful, some are better sold at the general store.
