The Xbox 360 era came alongside the rise of indie gaming, and the Xbox Live Indie Game program helped give the smallest developers a much larger problem.
Now, it seems a standout JRPG tribute called Breath of Death 7: The Beginning has stood the test of time well enough to earn its own remaster.
While the title 'Breath of Death 7' might suggest this is a late-era entry in some epic, long-running series, it's actually a standalone, comedy-minded tribute to 8-bit JRPGs.
While somewhat bigger games got highlighted on Xbox Live Arcade, Breath of Death 7 was a standout among the smaller Xbox Live Indie Game titles, offering a Dragon Quest-style experience that you could wrap up in about six hours.
Breath of Death 7 was one of the top-rated XLIG titles up until the platform went defunct, and the game remains available on Steam to this day with "Very Positive" reviews.
