    What 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.

    This 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 seemedThis 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.

(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. =)    … Expand

    Wild West goes fast. Have you ever killed two people with 2 bullet in a Top-Down game? Loads of blood, violence and superlightning-speeded gunplays. All of that packed into the style of pen and paper. Of course there were some issues with navigation through the maps, but al the thing is already fixed. Thanks to devs.

    A top-down shooter which looks familiar if you have played Hotline Miami. It has got an interesting plot, pretty interesting gameplay, great (really!) soundtrack, and unusual art style. In case if you are into Western culture and like Western movies and games, I definitely recommend this game.

    12 is Better Than 6 é um jogo divertido, original, com uma trilha sonora boa e sintonizada com o game e a época, com duração suficiente para ser um indie e ter uma gameplay que irá te entreter por um bom tempo, exceto pela sua história estranha e rasa, e claro que na sua relação custo/benefício o jogo torna-se caro no seu montante total de valor para os padrões brasileiros.

    A great take on a 2D shooter with an arcade-like feel and enthralling action. 12 is better than 6 and brings players into the game with fast-paced gun-play and an amazing art style. If you want a game to fill up a boring afternoon then this is an amazing candidate.

    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.

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

    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.
