‘Boot Hill Bounties’ Is A JRPG With A Spaghetti Western Twist
by Gary Catig
Experimental Gamer Studios developed a sweet mash up of a game in Boot Hill Bounties. It combines the lawlessness, adventure, and untamed wilderness of spaghetti western films with immersive JRPG storylines and gameplay. After experiencing success and praise previously on Steam, it will soon be coming to the Nintendo Switch.
The title is a follow up to Boot Hill Heroes, but serves as a standalone experience. It was designed so new players can easily jump into the story and feel at home. Boot Hill Bounties offers up to four player local co-op play in the rough and tumble world of Bronco County. While there, confront dangerous outlaws to stop a war between settlers and the local Native American tribe.
Boot Hill Bounties allows fans to explore towns bustling with unique citizens and storylines, fight off criminals and wild animals, scan newspapers for side quests, invest in growing a farm for unique upgrades, develop recipes for character power-ups, and craft powerful weapon modifications. All of these details are vital in hunting down the Saints-Little Gang with Kid, a simple farmhand, and his three companions: Doc, Moon, and Rosy.
Developer, David Welch, says:
Boot Hill Bounties is a return to the glory days of detailed SNES RPGs like Final Fantasy, Earthbound, and Chrono Trigger. But we’ve made key updates to make the genre feel fresher and exciting. With Boot Hill Bounties, we’ve reimagined the classic JRPG genre by combining the elements we love with things we always wanted to see. For example, we always wanted to experience more RPG adventures with our friends, so we included the ability for up to four players to hop in at any time for local co-op.
Boot Hill Bounties is available for pre-sale on the Nintendo e-shop and will be released tomorrow, April 14th.
