The verdict
A short, stylish arcade Western shooter with a clever unreliable-narrator gimmick and satisfying gunplay. Skip it if you hate quick-draw duels or QTEs, which many find infuriating.
Great for
Western fans and arcade-shooter players who want a short, stylish, cheap campaign with replayable score modes
Main risk
The duel mechanic and boss fights feel unfair and can block progress
What players love
