About the Game
One-of-a-kind locomotion combines with comedy and fast paced gameplay to bring you Hopalong: The Badlands, a No Nonsense Western VR Shooter. Sling lead and thunder across the Badlands as you chase down the infamous Dynamite Gang. They are beyond redemption and there is no “or Alive” part on their wanted posters...
No legs? No problem. By simply moving your stick horse up and down, players can propel themselves smoothly across the expansive Badlands, from the cliffs to the caves and back. No teleporting, no motion sickness, just a pure, unadulterated lead slinging experience!
- Oscillot locomotion system for non-teleporting, smooth movement across an expansive western landscape
- Bullet-time Quickdraw Ability
- Full & Fantastic Satirical VO. Seriously.
- Numerous weapons and mounts to unlock
- Dodge dynamite or shoot it while it's in the air back at the imbecile that threw it.
- Full Achievement Support
- Eight Shooter - One more than seven bullets means one more than seven bandits headed for a dirt nap.
- Pickaxe - Like a normal axe but for rocks. Or bandits. Mostly bandits.
- Double-Barrel - Why shoot a bullet when you can blow a bunch of hot metal out of, not only one, but two barrels? Not to mention Jolene is one pretty lady.
- Sniper Rifle - Long gun, long range. 'Nough said.
- Dynamite - You only need a pinch to blow up a bandit. Good thing you've got a whole stick of it.
- Iron Falcon - Big bullets for when you have big problems. Oh, and they explode.
- Brimstone Gun - For when its dark, or when you need to light a bandit on fire. Which ever comes first.

it was good
Had this in my wishlist for a while, not sure... But should not have waited.
Excellent game, very immersive & the locomotion becomes very intuitive.
I cannot do free motion (eg Doom) without motion sickness, but this is fine.
(Just don't try a 90 degree turn while 'galloping'!).
Very polished product.
Lately I've found that some of my biggest problems, or what makes or breaks a VR Title for me, is sometimes the locomotion method is quite that good.
I can say in full confidence that this is some of the best locomotion in any VR game I have played to date. Its so goofy and funny yet it works flawlessly.
The actual gameplay is simple but very much enjoyable. You just HOPALONG on your trusty steed in one hand, and use your other to shoot bandits, and its done very well.
I can fully recommend this title, especially since its easy to play, family fun, and great for parties
Fantastic little gem!
Totally awesome humor and all around fun!
9/10 - Western GungHo for the win!

🎵 I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande🎵 But my legs ain't bowed & my cheeks ain't Tan🎵 Ride a stick horse🐴and battle comical villains in this Western VR Game🤠
You will laugh within the first 30 seconds of launching the game, and then be amazed at how simple and effective, the control method is, but don't let that simple style fool you, because this is a really cool and tricky western themed shooter.
You'll need to 'waggle' in all directions, so that you can take cover and get a bead on the baddies. The sound is top notch also, with good ol' classic western sounding bullet whiz, and the sound of hooves... just don't look down :) Dynamite can be abit loud though, compared to the other sound levels. The music, which amazingly loops forever, and still sounds incredibly good, no matter how long you play, has a unique electro-westerny vibe.
Gameplay wise, keep moving, and try to master the art of shooting while galloping, but also remember to take cover.
If you're seemlingly 'stuck' with nowhere else to go, try looking for Ramp-like rocks, to gallop over. Some rocks are intentionally impassable though. This is definitely one to show your VR off, to people, especially if you want them to laugh within the first 30 seconds.
What a great game. It looks nice, it's responsive, the VO is very good (not too repetitive) and the maps are very clever. Lots of nooks and crannies. I feel like the aiming is a bit off at times especially shooting from a distance, but it could also be that other games are too forgiving. Not sure, but with unlimited ammo you can just keep shootin' and eventually you'll nail someone! I hope that this game gets a lot of attention and maybe even multilayer at some point.
I simply love this game. It has a novel locomotion method - and I freaking laughed my rear off constantly the first time I played it. It's got a bit of a challenge, voice overs are fun....the game is just fun.
I didn't find the movement nausea inducing, but I'm not prone to it. I'm sure, like other games, your mileage will vary.
Awesome game. I did have some issues with feeling a bit seasick at first. Then I learned to always face "forward" in the direction of the stick horse and it subsided. The look, gameplay, humor - is really addicting. Can't wait for the next update!
This game is so fun! The riding machanic is clever and satisfying, plus it makes any person playing look foolish.
Just finished the game, and I want to puke like the last guy in a human centipede.
It's not a bad game, but the interesting move system is hurl inducing. Play at your own risk.
Amazing game! There just needs to be more!
Nothing like riding a stick horse, and blowing up bad guys!
Hahahaha! That is really all I can say. The locomotion in this game is genius. Probably not a game I'll keep coming back to, though it is a good workout if you don't cheat.
So the way you move in this game is by pretending you are a 6 year old kid riding a broom while pretending it is a horse. You do this by either doing the Monty Python Horse skip:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/ee1bc44624178bc23f2c9c08529d9ad5/tumblr_ntt3d3IyeU1qz5q5lo1_500.gif
or by hoping up and down in place. The faster your skip/hop the faster your horse runs.
Watching someone play this game is quite entertaining as they look ridiculous. Playing the game also is ridiculous because in the game you are holding a stick with a stuffed horse head on the end of it, so you know exactly what you look like to those watching.
There is some risk of motion sickness here. I found that when I stopped the horse, I instinctively leaned backwards and if I was going particularly fast it would sometimes almost cause me to fall over. Also, when riding the horse down a slope it can be pretty jarring and I found myself again leaning backwards.
I recommend only playing this if you have a bit of space. It is _really_ easy to get immersed into the game and not realize that you are hopping off towards a wall. The VR chaperone is still there of course, but if you are close to a wall and then stop your horse in the middle of a gun fight it is easy to lean backwards into the wall.
Easily one of the best VR games I've played. The movement system, the shooting, the humor... it's all great! Really well done. Can't wait to see the progression on this one.
This game is so good!! Perfect graphics, interface and mechanics. I wish all VR games were made like this.
It's funny too and fun to play. The only remark I have is that it's pretty easy, but I've only played the first level so difficulty might increase. A little bit more story-driven would be nice too (I love stories). Anyway, if this is only Early Access, then I'm very excited about the final game!
Riding through the ol' west on a stick horse - I like it! Very immersive and very intuitive controls.
Very clever locomotion system that works well, great cartoon style graphics.
Seriously needs some difficulty settings or tweaks however as it's just too easy.
Oh man, what an entertaining and beautiful looking game this is! Before I even begin my review, lets check out my first gameplay in VR and Mixed Reality on HTC Vive:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gePyj6GT6no
Well, where to start? First of all, Hopalong: The Badlands is beautiful. Very beautiful! It really has that well-made and good looking graphics, cool environment and that funny wild-west stylish atmosphere. For a indie-title VR game, this is really impressive I have to say. The graphical surroundings reminds me a lot about Arizona Sunshine, well maybe almost at least and also a little bit more "cartoonish", but still very polished and detailed. I was truly surprised and impressed the first moment I entered the game.
Sound effects and voice-overs are great (reminds me of Arizona Sunshine again), and especially the western-style guitar music in the background that adds a lot to the feeling.
Gameplay then! Well, this is a funny cartoon/comedy-styled first person shooter with free locomotion, several weapons (both shooting and melee), several big maps to explore and various cowboy-opponents to kill. The gameplay itself is of course simple and maybe not unique for a VR shooter, but the one-of-a-kind locomotion itself adds so much to the game! You simply ride a stick-horse totally freely around the levels, by navigating with your left Vive controller, while you shoot and use weapons with the right controller (or vice versa or course).
And thats where the fun part begins in Hopalong: The Badlands. The ability to run around on a stick-horse is on its own simply a brilliant idea and it adds so much "more" in Virtual Reality - you wont believe me before you try it. I couldn't stop laughing in the beginning, it was just so fun to ride/galloping on that stick horse, and at the same time does this game a little bit more challenging as well, as its much more difficult to aim and kill the enemies while galloping, even if aiming is accurate and weapon handling is good! Also, you gain health by letting your "horse" drink water, for example. Just brilliant idea - these developers has been thinking "outside of the box" and I love that, especially because most VR games are too similar to eachother!
The game runs great on my GTX 980 Ti, and only time I got frame loss (dropped frames) was while I was recording the gameplay at the same time, so thats not because of the game, but more because of my capture software taking too much resources.
All in all, a truly entertaining, beautiful and kind of unique Western-shooter, and I can recommend it to everyone. I really hope the devs will work hard on this title to bring us more content, and especially Multiplayer support further on - that would we awesome!
I will eventually continue or update this review when I have spent more gameplay hours in the game, and especially when more content gets added in future updates!
Cheers
