    12 is Better Than 6 has good combat and a great art style, but is held back by technical issues, unpredictable AI and some odd design decisions. The issues hamper the gameplay and, whilst there is a story, it's entirely forgettable and delivered in awkwardly written dialogue. It's probably best to stick this game's obvious influences.

    On Switch, 12 is Better Than 6 is much more of a Mexican let down than a Mexican stand off. It sure had some potential as a far west hand drawn Hotline Miami but issues like frame rate dropping, protagonist stuck near some walls or very disappointing A.I. make it a game that can be hard to enjoy. Too bad.

    Considering Hotline Miami is a widely available and far superior game, why anyone would want to play 12 is Better Than 6 is beyond me.

I loved this game and got several hours of enjoyment out of it. The only problem I had with it was it was a bit short and figuring out which level you wanted to replay was a little confusing. Overall I recommend this game to anyone who loves twin-stick shooters and old west styles!… Full Review »

    This game is great fun. You should play this more for its art style, music and game mechanics than the story since its not that engrossing .This game is great fun. You should play this more for its art style, music and game mechanics than the story since its not that engrossing . If you're interested in a quick shooter game that can get challenging (but not impossible) to pass the time in short bursts this is the game you should get. It does get a little repetitive if your play session is long. But the quick shootouts mixed with a little bit of stealth elements keeps you on edge. It does not dissapoint for the price at all. It's well worth it.… Full Review »

You can blaze through a few levels in a matter of minutes, or put a good hour into the story. It's a very challenging game and some cheap deaths get frustrating, but the quick restart nature doesn't make it feel that way. So if you're all “red-deaded” out and are looking for a fresh take on an old genre, you can't go wrong with this game.… Full Review »
