    The game is not the most polished, especially lighting and UI wise, but it tells a fun story and is a cool take on the turn-based combat genre. For the price it's well worth a spin.

    Hard West seemed like a game I would really enjoy but left me disappointed. I think on the PC this may of been a better game.

    Game(s) like: Wasteland 2, XCom

    Pros:
    - General gameplay with the Luck factor as well done
    - Cool setting and I like the little missions outside the core turn based missions
    - The poker bonus while simple were fun

    Cons:
    - Had trouble knowing if I was flanking, it would look obvious and I'd plan my move around it and then after moving if I wasn't flanking it would kill my turn and possible mission
    - No save points made the above point more frustrating as having to redo 45 mins for something you just couldn't see was bad
    - Hard to see some of the turn based gameplay sometime
    - Clunky interface, especially when setting equipment    … Expand

    It's got a ton of style and does some I retesting stuff with character load outs based on cards, tells an alright story. The difficulty is kinda all over the place and it spikes incredibly hard. Most of the time you can play pretty sloppily and then you get to levels that stack enemies onto you. For 20 bucks it's alright but I'd still pick it up on sale like I did

    I bought it to get my XCOM fix before it came to switch. The game play itself is okay but there is too much story between battles. Add to that, the font choice which is horrible for small screens, makes reading anything almost impossible. As a result, getting into the story more work than it's worth.

    While its combat design isn't perfect and the enemy AI could be better, Hard West’s supernatural-tinged Wild West shtick offers a great way to get into the XCOM formula without relying on too many random factors. And with the Scars of Freedom expansion pack included as standard, there are plenty of ways to exercise your itchy trigger finger on the go.
