Xcomlike in the old west with monsters and other spooky shenanigans. The DLC campaign even has a monster building from component parts you find which is pretty rad. It's quite solid entry in the genre with its own relatively unique setting and it goes for a pair of bucks on sales so... I recommend it if you like what you read so far.

I am STUNNED at all the negative reviews. I'm not talking about people who might have experienced game breaking bugs, which I haven't personally. In fact, I haven't encountered a single noticeable bug! But reading many of them referring to this game constantly as "XCOM clone" just proves how ignorant these people are, and of what mindset they come to write a negative review for a game that does not deserve it! Hard West stands on its on solid feet as an immersive exciting turn-based game. In my view, especially with the edition of the Scars of Freedom DLC, Hard West is a masterpiece! And it is very enjoyable!

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.

Jan. 2024

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.
