Super Lesbian Horse RPG
Super Lesbian Horse RPG (full name, Bobby Schroeder presents Super Lesbian Horse RPG: Preemptive Game of the Year Edition, BSpSLHRPG:PGotYE[1] or just SLHRPG for short) is a parody role-playing video game created by Bobby Schroeder (aka, Ponett) and released on December 25, 2013.[2] The game features original artwork by Shroeder, along with a soundtrack containing 26 original compositions produced for the game.[3] The game was built using RPG Maker and took eleven months to develop.[1]
In 2015, Shroeder began remaking the game using original characters as Super Lesbian Animal RPG. As of 2017, downloads of Super Lesbian Horse RPG are no longer available due to the game's use of copyrighted characters.[4]
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
SLHRPG features over-world traveling and battle system reminiscent of Japanese RPG titles EarthBound and Dragon Quest.[1][5] The game is set in the Equus Islands, a floating archipelago divided into the regions of Caballus—where the region's settlements are based and where the game begins—and Ferus—the wilderness.[1]
The game features Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash as a romantic couple and duel protagonists, with Twilight Sparkle and Applejack joining the party as "third wheel" and "fourth wheel", respectively. Rarity (Applejack's partner) and Pinkie Pie (Twilight's partner) appear as non-playable characters who can be summoned in battle, but never join the party.[1] Spike travels with the party, playing the part of the game's bestiary, while the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Babs Seed operate item stores throughout the over world.
Some of the game's enemies were submitted via a design contest that encouraged "funny, weird, and/or cute" enemies,[5] with the final game having a mixture of original characters, parodies of characters from other shows and fandoms, and Danny DeVito[6] acting as antagonists.

Critical reception[edit | edit source]
The game was praised by Equestria Gaming for its high quality pixel art and original soundtrack, but criticized the humor as being "stale" and the gameplay as being "a standard RPG Maker project".[7]
