This is a solid Turn-based Strategy game with an intriguing premise. I found it to be a rather puzzling endeavor sometimes. Pros: The base game is divided into chapters and you play different characters in each chapter - this is a pro AND a con. There's a decent variety of guns and consumables to use. The writing and voice-over are very atmospheric but a bit thin in places. The cards/hands system is a lot of fun. You can spend a good amount of time weighing how to distribute your cards to best effect. The combat mechanics are fairly basic but offer some neat tricks, such as ricochets to hit a person out of direct sight. Combat is just challenging enough to make you pay attention, and when you get a handle on the different weapons, powers, and consumables available, it gets to be more about creativity than action. Cons: The interface isn't super-intuitive and some neat things that would have helped early on only became clear to me mid-game. Some neat mechanics like Hunger (gotta feed yer cowpokes) appear for a chapter and then disappear. The game makes it hard to play as a "good guy" all the way through. Ugly choices have to be made. This took me out of my comfort zone, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, so I'd say both pro and con here. If you're looking for a TBS game with an unusual milieu and atmosphere, this is worth a buy, especially if it's on a good sale.

Interesting story line that slowly brings various threads together as you progress. Fun turn based combat with a creative use of "luck" as a combat resource. Has a very strong "Deadlands TTRPG" feel to it, which I loved.

Let's start with the good stuff: the theme. Picture this - you're in the dusty, desolate Old West, but there's this eerie vibe of supernatural chaos lurking around every corner. Gunslingers battling demons, it's a wild ride. The story ain't half bad either, weaving together different characters' tales into one big, twisted plot. Gameplay-wise, it's got all the bells and whistles of XCOM: positioning, unit building, the whole shebang. Plus, there's a ton of gear to play with, from buff-giving clothes to demon-slaying throwables. But here's where it starts to lose its shine: enemy variety is about as exciting as watching paint dry. And don't even get me started on the lack of an "Overwatch" feature - a real kick in the teeth for XCOM fans. Now, I won't lie, the writing is top-notch and the sound design ain't too shabby either. But the scenarios? They feel like they're over before they even begin. And don't even get me started on the random loss of party members - talk about frustrating. Overall, it's a solid strategy game with some neat ideas, but it's like a tumbleweed rolling through the desert - a bit empty. Here's hoping for a longer campaign and maybe a soundtrack that doesn't make you want to tear your hair out by the roots.

I had this one in my backlog for quite a bit, overall I'm glad I finally got around to playing it. The over arcing stories are not bad, they suffice to keep the game moving though the way it is presented often lead me to not feeling vested in the main characters equally. Combat was fun and I especially liked the ricochet skill and some of the unique weapons that could be found. -Pros Spaghetti Western type story melded with supernatural, poker card system for unique skills, good turn based combat maps. -Cons Sometimes missions would bug out requiring restarting the mission.(I managed to fix this for most of the time played by turning vsync on), large parts of the over world map were random choice story mode which limits some of what you can find equipment wise and you can miss some of these events if you follow the main quest line too quick effectively locking you out of them for the remainder. In the dlc Scars of freedom the poker system for skills gets replaced and while unique skills still exist obtaining them for big combo boosts is tedious.
