Boot Hill Heroes - A New Wild West RPG

Boot Hill Heroes is a RPG game developed by a small studio called Experimental Gamer.

Description

Experimental Gamer is an independent game studio based in Chicago, Illinois. We believe video games have the power to make us feel, think, and experience things in unique ways not possible by other non-interactive media. Our goal is to explore these possibilities by creating games that deliver unique experiences to gamers.

They described their game as an experiment to take the beloved retro RPG experience in a new direction. They had a successful kickstarter I missed last year.

Boot Hill Heroes

Boot Hill Heroes began as an experiment to take the beloved retro RPG experience in a new direction. Instead of a traditional fantasy setting, Boot Hill Heroes takes place in the American Wild West. Instead of classic, turn-based gameplay, Boot Hill Heroes goes for a fast-paced real-time strategy combat. Rather than adventure alone in single player, Boot Hill Heroes supports up to four player cooperative gameplay.

Kickstarter and Exhibiting

After Boot Hill Heroes was deep in development, Experimental Gamer started a Kickstarter campaign in 2012 to find funding for the perfect musician to compose the game's musical score. The search succeeded when Jake 'virt' Kaufman (DuckTales Remastered, Double Dragon Neon, Mighty Switch Force, Blood Rayne: Betrayal, Retro City Rampage) took an interest in the project and offered his services. Development continued on Boot Hill Heroes which made its public debut at PAX East 2013. Boot Hill Heroes received welcome fanfare and support from attendees who were impressed with the game's combat, story, and multiplayer elements. A representative from Sony believed the game would make a great addition to the Sony Vita lineup and worked with Experimental Gamer to create a version of Boot Hill Heroes with exclusive content for the PlayStation Mobile platform.
