Game Description

The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the “B-Ballnacht”. Thousands upon thousands of the world’s greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the “Verboten Jam”...

Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden: Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa is a freeware RPG developed by Tales of Game's Studios, presented (unofficially) as a sequel to Barkley Shut Up and Jam!. It features traditional JRPG-styled battles and dungeons.

One of the best free indie RPG I’ve ever played, and I’ve played hundreds of them over the years. I don’t even know anything about basketball and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Positives all around: the game is long for an indie RPG (20+ hours), the gameplay mechanics for the battles aren’t typical “choose fight” affairs but require timing (much like Paper Mario), and the storytelling can be enthralling.

The quality of this game is probably too high for me to convey through a review. There are hundreds of great indie games, but only a dozen or two indie game masterpieces, and this is one.

This was quite awful.. Honestly who makes an rpg based on basketball? I tried playing it for about 10 mins and it was a waste of time.. Im sure its probably alright as far as gameplay goes.. But the scenery is just grungy and depressing and the visuals are just crap.. Sorry to give such a bad review but wow.. Couldnt hardly play it.. Maybe its just not for me
