The original video game interview in Garage Band Gamers' running weekly series with indie developers. They speak with the creator of Boot Hill Bounties, a sequel that anyone can jump into and enjoy.
Boot Hill Heroes is the origin story of Boot Hill Bounties, released earlier this year on the Switch. It originated on PS Mobile and unfortunately brings along some mobile game woes, but provides a fun and exciting Old West Earthbound experience for up to four in couch co-op.
It’s not every day that you see an RPG that plays like a JRPG, let alone one from the latter day SNES era, and is also in a Wild West setting. Well the silence on this oversight has been broken and Experimental Gamers has answered the call. And the all prove their grit, rough as it may be.

I’ve said before, and will surely say again, that RPGs are my favorite genre. Growing up in the golden age of SNES RPGs, I have a particular taste for what’s now “retro”-style RPGs that capture the look and feel of those days. Boot Hill Heroes is the latest in my growing library, with a well-polished 16-bit look and feel that captures a bit of the essence of some of my favorite all-time games, including Chrono Trigger and EarthBound. Tossing all of these elements into a campy Wild West setting seemed a bit strange to me at first, but as I played on, it (mostly) grew on me.
