While very flawed, the moment to moment gameplay keeps it entertaining in short sessions. Pros: - Excellent presentation. Looks like a Mike Mignola comic made game. - The combat encounters are fun, and the variety in weapons is decent. Cons: - Very, very grindy. - Long sections of needless walking. - Clunky.

One of the coolest games I've played in years. It might not be for everyone, but I loved it. Really scratches an itch for me like Remnant and Souls games do. The art and Music are amazing

Sept. 2025

this is more mixed than it is positive, but I guess leaning more positive than negative. the style is really cool and Ron Perlman adds some flair but the game gets old REALLY fast. repetition is one thing, it's a roguelike after all, but it just isn't very good at being a roguelike. the rate at which you unlock new things to play with is pitifully slow, it makes the game feel more like grindy work than an actually fun game that I want to experiment with. when it has its moments, they definitely stick the landing and it's tons of fun, but you have to go through a lot of BS to get there. I'd recommend it, just play in short bursts. also the shotguns ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suck don't use shotguns.

Simply: Great Game I love roguelites and this is one with a great distinct art style and story telling. I could yap but if you're scrolling through reviews you just want a quick jist so here it goes... Pros: - Distinctive Art style; Makes it feel like I am in the underworld of the wild west - Story telling; Unique as you pick up pieces of your past while you play the game and the game incentives you to replay the game to learn more about the deputy you play - Mechanics; Enjoyable - just like most overhead camera angle games it at first takes a bit to get used to but you can adapt to it quickly. Same could be said with the dodge and shooting mechanics. The reloading mechanic is also fun as it encourages smart, strategic game play around barriers scattered throughout the rooms. - Enemy Variety - Besides the generic enemy in every map, each map comes with it's distinct set of enemies with strengths and weakness that makes it enjoyable to fight and more aware of with areas you want to go to. - Randomness; It's a nice blend of knowing that all dungeons have certain layout quirks while still being mainly completely random. -Build Variety - Great mix of both how to level up and what guns/abilities to use. You can be a wild tanky shotgun manic that is in the front line exploding everyone or you can be a high damage long range shooter using every once of cover to your advantage. The choice is yours. -Slow Mo Dodge; There's a mechanic that basically every time you get a perfect dodge (or just close to one) the whole game does a matrix slow mo of you dodging the attack and it feels so nice. Getting a perfect dodge slow mo event right before finishing off some enemies feels euphoric. - Replayability; It's fun to replay the game even after finishing a success full ending. Cons: - Length; Like most great things, it comes to an end too quickly. Not to stroke my game skills but I got to the true ending within like 6 hours of playing the game (and that's with me full clearing everything). I still replayed the game afterwards for more lore information but if you are a one and done kind of person, you might not enjoy how fast you can complete it. Wish it was longer as a main story. -Variety of Guns/Abilities; There's great amount of gun variety and ability varieties but they lack uniqueness. For example one shotgun can do more damage in a short and wide cone and another shotgun can do damage in a long and narrow cone but in the end they're both basically shotguns. You realize there's like 5 go to guns and stick with them. You only really need to switch out guns when they out level the ones you have. Grant it there's distinct ones like one that freezes enemies or one that shoots lock-on bullets but they generally feel weaker in damage to compensate for their ability power. - Replayability; It's only re-playable as much as you enjoy the mechanics. I enjoy the game so I plan on still playing it out but I can also see how you quickly can be done with the game as it's repetitiveness outweighs its variety. Conclusion - If you like roguelites and enjoy quick fun runs you will greatly enjoy this game. It's fun to experiment with and to know your place style as you replay the game but at some point you realize you just have the same build every run, and that's when it can get a little more boring. I got this game on sale when it's $4 and I think that's a phenomenal deal honestly. So best advice is wait for it to be on sale and enjoy being a gunslinger slaying enemies with your bullets of justice.
