It is a really fun game with good turn-based tactical combat. I mostly enjoy the narrative though, and some twists and turns that I did not expect. The ability to adjust the challenge to what you'd like is also appreciated. Some mechanics are not well explained, but the curious can google those.
artstyle is awesome, its a good strategy game with xcom syle topdown and gameplay. The combat is fun with the luck system, the cards, richoet. The ONLY problem i have with it is when enemies bug out randomly (sit on a tile and tweak out) and won't end their turn. It's really annoying and kind of ruins the whole game for me. Fights which shouldn't take that long take forever because I have to constantly reload the save and they STILL bug out. I might update my review if this changes But please fix the models tweaking out mid combat. I repeat NOT a bad game just a really awful bug that plagues the gameplay. (the true evil west) Edit: If you turn on V-sync it fixes the problem DO THIS IF NPCS/CHARACTERS STUTTER
TL;DR: An atmospheric adventure game with a sprinkle of tactical combat. What you expect: XCom in the Wild West What you get: A surprisingly atmospheric supernatural adventure story with added XCom lite combat encounters. Most of the game is narrative and choices of questionable impact, but the scenarios are short and there are no take-backs except when you start a scenario over, so choices still feel impactful. Most of this, I suspect, is illusion by the game. I'm on the more defensive and conservative side, so I often chose not to do a stupid thing that was high risc unknown reward, and thus I cannot say this with certainty, but I believe that the game will not outright kill any characters for your stupidity - you just accumulate injuries that you oftentimes can avert by paying some kind of doctor a bit of money. Almost everyone you play is at least morally grey, if not outright unhinged, but the tone is consistent and the game doesn't do anything to glorify whatever atrocity you are committing at the moment. Also most scenarios have a unique mechanic on the map that makes them work slightly differently (not so much that you are playing a different game, but enough to shake things up a bit) The combat is a nice break up of the narrativ part, but clearly it's not the main focus. It's not that challenging (on normal, I don't think I have it in me to see what hard mode is like), but encouncters are generally over quickly and even if you mess up they are so short that simply restarting them is not an issue, even without any saves. That being said, it is functional, there are enough tactical elements to give you options and I can't even say why it doesn't really feel like XCom when it is so clearly emulating it. Hard West is also not very long, but for the asking price I think it's fair. On the negativ side: The game started to drag somwhere in scenario 2 of the second campaign. Nothing really changed, but I think that is when the game loop stopped working for me. Since I have a habit of never finishing games that I put down for any significant length of time I powered through anyway, but in the end I didn't finish the "find the city of gold" scenario, because you can soft lock yourself in that one and I really don't want to start over. Chance based encounters where you can't do anything except hope that this time it'll work are not cool.
It is a dark, tactical strategy game that blends cowboy shootouts with supernatural horror in a really unique way. The core gameplay is turn-based and heavily inspired by games like XCOM. You control a small squad, take cover, and plan every move carefully, where positioning and smart decisions matter more than speed . What really makes it stand out is the setting. It takes the Wild West and twists it with demons, curses, and strange occult elements, creating a “weird west” atmosphere that feels gritty, eerie, and different from typical strategy games . The combat is satisfying and flexible. Maps allow multiple approaches, so you can experiment with different strategies instead of being forced into one exact solution, which keeps encounters interesting . The game is structured in short story scenarios, each with its own characters and situations. This keeps things varied, but it can also feel a bit disconnected since you are constantly switching perspectives . It can be quite challenging and does not hold your hand, which makes success rewarding but sometimes frustrating if things go wrong . Overall, it is a stylish and unique tactical experience that mixes strategy with a haunting western theme. Recommended for players who enjoy turn-based combat and something a bit darker and more experimental.
