    Secret Ponchos is a relatively simple, straightforward game with some very nice flair. Great visual and sound design bring the dusty Western setting to life, and a great cast of varied characters means tons of strategies to explore and refine.

    Secret Ponchos: Most Wanted Edition is the thinking man’s western shooter.

    If there’s one thing I love more than an indie game it’s an indie game with depth and boy-oh-boy does Secret Ponchos have a truck-load of that.

    If you have a group of friends who are also willing to take the risk with you, you could certainly glean a lot of enjoyment out of the game, but it’s unlikely that you’ll still be playing it a couple of months down the line.

    If you like the team based combat of a moba and the skill that comes from mastering characters in fighters then this is the game for you. TheIf you like the team based combat of a moba and the skill that comes from mastering characters in fighters then this is the game for you. The first thing you'll notice is the art style and theme of Secret Ponchos. It's a stylized western, and it comes with a varied and interesting roster to boot! Every character has depth to their mechanics, every player can be the one to save the game, and every player is a fighter. That's the great thing about the game though. The game looks, plays, and feels great! It helps that the game has some pretty great developers. Any given day you can see them talking to players in the Steam community chat, and having that kind of interaction with a developer is amazing! It seems they really do listen to their community. When discussing the balance of characters the first thing they turn to is the community's feedback.

    In short...

    Looks great,
    Plays great,
    Great developers,
    Characters with unique playstyles,
    Lots of mechanical depth,
    and just $15.
