    No matter how many years pass, how much gaming industry changes, there will always be space for games like 12 Is Better Than 6 and an audience to appreciate, buy and enjoy them. Sergio Leone would be proud of it!

    It’s fun, looks great, elicits a lot of tense moments as you run into an empty room to reload your shotgun before a small band of soldiers comes marching through to their death.

    A game as brutal, simple and fun as Hotline Miami besides being too short and repetitive over time.

    12 Is Better Than 6 is a tribute to the Western genre and takes deep inspiration from Hotline Miami.

    A creative take on the top-down shooter genre and, had it had more opportunities for me to run into a room guns blazing, it may have been my new favourite. The hand drawn art style is unlike anything I’ve seen before and I can’t wait to see if the developers create something new with the same idea in mind. If you’re looking for a game that will have you crying with rage one second and laughing in triumph the next, 12 is Better Than 6 is definitely worth a playthrough or two.

This era hadThis game is a real monument of culture and, at the same time, it’s the caricature of the bloody-bloody time for the Wild West. This era had given a new genre for the world cinematography - Westerns. The one with the characters in sombreros, bars, spaced into pieces, where the smell of beef in a spicy sauce is everywhere. (or may be that’s just a dead coyote - who knows?) This game seemed to absorb all of the cliches related to the genre. And that’s really cool!
    This is the first game in my gaming experience with such a racy theme. Thanks to the developers, who were able to create such convincing and stylish world of Wild West, that from the first minutes of gameplay I began to associate myself with this desperate guy, who, probably, smokes peyote with someone who’s name is Don Juan.
    To tell the truth, I'm not a big fan of stealth genre, but this game captivated me with its atmosphere, its music,archetypal characters, funny details, like, for.ex., drying clothes, horses feeding hay, big rats and so on.
    I also like the dynamics of the game, where a cozy saloon rapidly turns into a mess of human bodies and broken furniture.
    Keep your finger on the trigger and you’ll survive this massacre. =) That’s the only way. =)

Plenty ofWhat I especially liked about '12 s better than 6' is a smart design - cool hand drawing, only three colors. Looks really beautiful. Plenty of different types of guns - I even didn't here about some of them before. Why not the highest score - the game seemed too bloody for me, but someone will appreciate it more than great design :-) Tastes differ. Full Review »
