A pretty fun game in the spirit of Hotline Miami. This one gets the action, control and balancing pretty much on point. The western theme is very amusing but one gripe I had with the black and white stylized graphics was that occasionally it got pretty hard to spot an enemy as they blend in with the environment very well sometimes. The story is mostly nonsensical and not that interesting to begin with. Think the movie Machete and you'll get the general idea: Mexican dude wakes up with amnesia, has to regain his lost memory, Rambos a heck lot of baddies to hell on the way. It's serviceable but sometimes it seems they try a little too hard to convey that the protagonist of the game is the biggest badass in the west. The meat of the game is the fast paced shooting where you will dispose of your enemies with knives, shotguns, rifles, pistols, shovels, bows and arrows and other weapons typical of the western setting. You also have access to dynamite and with a certain perk can tie one to the back of a rat and have it run conveniently towards the closest enemy. The enemies are pretty good shots. You'll die a lot and learn a bit more about how to approach the level and try again and again. As is normal with this genre. There is a perk system as well where you can earn money in repetitive "kill everybody on the level" missions and acquire a few throughout the journey. Nothing special but I think the game would have benefited from a more varied and pronounced perk system instead of the limited set of perks we have available. All in all, a pretty fun game. If you've played games in this genre before, you'll know exactly what you're in for and on a sale, this could be that perfect purchase to sink a few evenings into.

In fact, 12 is Better Than 6 Gameplay is bit slower to my liking, but it makes up with interesting art style and wild west setting. I recommend you to play Hotline Miami or The Hong Kong Massacre rather than this if you never played top down shooter before, they're considerably better games overall, but this doesn't deserve thumbs down for it.

Bear's Take: 12 is Better Than 6 - a Wild West shooter with a gritty twist, where every bullet counts and survival is the name of the game. Sip 'n' Savor: The graphics in 12 is Better Than 6 won't win any beauty contests, but they have a certain charm that grows on you like moss on a tree stump. It's a rough aesthetic, but it suits the rugged Wild West theme. Milk Mustache Moment: This game is tough as bear hide boots! The AI is sharpshooters, taking shots from miles away, but that's part of the fun. It's a challenge that keeps you coming back for more, like a stubborn bear refusing to give up its honey. Roar Factor: While the story won't knock your socks off, it's enough to keep you invested in your journey across the Wild West. It's like a campfire tale - simple, but it gets the job done. Bear's Bonus Honeycomb: Despite its rough edges, 12 is Better Than 6 offers a satisfying challenge and a unique take on the top-down shooter genre. If you're willing to embrace its flaws, you'll find a rewarding experience waiting for you. Final Paw-sition: 12 is Better Than 6 is a rough-and-tumble ride through the Wild West that's as challenging as it is rewarding. While it may not be everyone's cup of honey, it's worth a shot for fans of tough-as-nails shooters. 3.5 out of 5, pardner! Rating: 🐻🍯🍯🍯.5 (3.5 out of 5)

I love Western games. One of my favorite gaming experiences is playing the far right side of the Sunset Riders arcade cabinet. The pink-clad Cormano mowing down bad guys in the Konami classic stole a lot of my quarters when I was little thanks to the pinpoint accuracy and one-hit death status. 12 is Better Than 6 feels like a gritty top-down shooter with a flair of old west that reminds me of my favorite Sunset Rider, thanks to the sombreros on most everyone. 12 is Better Than 6 is less forgiving, as it is harder to dodge bullets and the one-hit kills take you back to the start of an area. While it will appeal to people who like a speedrunning challenge and strive for perfection, some of it's faults may aggravate the average player.
