I jumped on board for the free week event, and I was sold on this after getting a few hours into it. The game is a lot more active than your typical MOBA, since everything you're doing is a skillshot. That can seem scary at first for inexperienced players, and you may get your face melted a few times as you learn, but it's infinitely more engaging once you get the hang of it, and more satisfying when you finally nail a game-changing shot. The character classes all seem very well-balanced, and they accommodate the full range of play styles. You can run-and-gun, snipe, charge into melee, or play defense, and you can be pretty successful at any of them if you learn how to do it right. There's also plenty of synergy between different classes, so even an OK team can pull off effective combos. Maps are solid--enough space to maneuver but not enough that anyone disappears. The game could probably use another play mode or two, but the current ones have been enough to keep me busy. Art style is... Well, take a look! It's beautiful. It's fun to watch even when your team's getting rolled, it almost feels less painful. And if you want dev support, you really can't beat it. Devs are in the chatroom for about half of every day. Only thing that the game's been struggling with is its population... From what I hear, before the free week it was a ghost town, much like the in-game visuals. But a lot of people like myself joined for the free week and have decided to stay for the long haul, so the population issue is gradually ironing itself out. US matchmaking is good until about pre-dawn, EU is creeping upward, and Down Under is the only region that still needs a helping hand. But we're only halfway through with the promo as I type this and haven't even reached the weekend yet, so there's nowhere to go but up. Final Note: The community that's already here has only a hint of salt in it... You get some overlap from the rest of the Interwebz, and there will be the occasional n00bs14y3r, but nothing even CLOSE to the level that you'd expect from Dota2, LoL, etc. This may change as the game continues to grow, but right now it's in a pretty comfy place. EDIT: JULY 2020 Was digging through my old games and got nostalgic for this again... except now I guess it's completely dead? I'd say it's still a good choice if you have a dedicated group of friends to play it with, but your odds of getting matched with other players online are just about 0.0%. This one will always baffle me. It's a testament to the power of good marketing and monetization - I've never a game that was so good do so poorly..... RIP RIP

They havent made this game free yet? Do they not understand how to market a an indie multiplayer only game. Its a good game but damn pointless since it has zero players.

1st hour on this game: Hm, seems pretty cool. 2nd hour on this game: Found a character I really like to play. 3rd hour on this game: Discovered very high level mechanics. It seems there's quite a bit of depth to it that you normally can't notice first coming in. 4th hour in: I start destroying everyone I play against. 5th hour in: I go against a top level player and get my ass handed to me. 6th hour in: I'm in practice mode trying to learn new combos. I want to be like the best. 7th hour in: I should go to class. ............ 15th hour in: Decided I wont be playing anything else for the rest of the year. 10/10 - Get this game.

I primarily want to write this review because a lot of older negative reviews are just outdated. Over the last months the developers improved the game a lot for example with over 500 fixes (including many matchmaking fixes) and keyboard and mouse support :). In my opinion the outlaws are balanced now and every outlaw feels really different to play with. Secret Ponchos is also way beginner friendlier now because there is a new AI practice mode where you can basically play with bots ( of course theyre still a little dumb but really helpful to learn combos and stuff :D). Also the importance of perk points (points you get while levelling up to improve your outlaws stats) has been reduced massively so even a player with the lowest rank has a chance against players with the highest rank. Additionally a tutorial has been added and an in game lobby chat where new players can e.g. ask more experienced players for tips. Another really good thing about this game is that it is really easy to communicate with the devs. They stream Secret Ponchos weekly and talk with the community about changes and future plans on the live stream. The gameplay is really competitive. The art style and the music are just awesome. So just give the game a shot (whether it will be with Deserters bayonet or The Killers revolver ;) ). See you out there in Lonetree :D Update: All the new content that has been added in the Most Wanted Edition makes this game even better and I think everyone should be able to find an outlaw that fits his playstyle because there are 10 unique outlaws now.

Secret Ponchos is an extremely fun and engageing game with its own unique style of gameplay and charm. While it may seem like a MOBA, secret ponchos is more akin to a fighting game, requiring the player to rely more on their skill, reaction time and ability to aim than something like a gear setup and just pure numbers. The game has improved by a lot since its initial early access release with much better matchmaking, the ability for priavte matches, more characters, more maps, more music and single player options for those who cant always find someone to play with or just want to have a simple easy matchup. The devs are very responsive to community feedback and provide frequent updates to make sure the game is both as balanced and bug-free as possible. This game is one of a kind and is definetly worth playing.
