    I really enjoyed it ... It was fun to play, but really hard on the other side. The biggest flaw is camera work ...

    This game was very cool to play as a fan of westerns. I felt somewhat immersed in the stories and I enjoyed the little details in the text that made this game feel like a unique western experience. The music and art in the game was really nice and helped with the immersion. After playing the game I wanted a bit more but for $1 on the eshop I definitely felt like I got my money's worth.This game was very cool to play as a fan of westerns.

    The game is difficult and the gameplay is interesting. It was very similar to xcom which I am a huge fan of. I liked the luck system but one of my favorite parts of the game was the poker card bonus system and how you could really feel your characters progressing from map to map and how some of the rare items you obtained would be unlocked and purchasable at a later date by different characters in other campaigns.

    One issue I had was the camera and targeting doors or other mission objectives. There were times when my character didn't do what I wanted him to do and ended up dying for it. There were also issues with line of sight and sometimes it was hard to get into a position that would let you get the shot just right. I would love some sort of indicator that showed when you went to a certain location which enemies were targetable.

    The story of the game was very dark but I enjoyed that kind of story because it's fairly fresh for a tactical type of rpg. The choices you make actually do matter down the road as some things carry over from one campaign to the next and the game encourages replay with all of the branching paths based on choices. The game has multiple endings as well.

    I definitely recommend it for those people stuck at home looking for a solid 15-20 hours of content for a low price.    … Expand

    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.
