FASTEST GUN IN THE WEST, this game is really fun but movement is pretty glitchy. this game makes me feel like an outlaw and its really cool and it makes me feel like arthur morgan, if only it werent so silent and glitchy. BUT HELL YEEEEEEEEAHH ITS GOOD!
This game could be very cool. Unfortunately, it's very glitchy. movement is whacky, you get stuck on everything including nothing at all. the sights on the revolver feel misaligned. but this game is a very cool concept and with some tweaking and fixes could be a great VR experience.
Game is dead but can still have some fun if you run through the campaign with a friend! Haven't really encountered any game breaking bugs tbh but it can be a little glitchy at some times.
pretty fun experience it has a lot of jank but if have some spare money buy it
This is an amazing game. it has great gun physics. I would highly recommend.
Very fun game but its sad with a game like this they stopped updating it before it could reach its complete state
Can't recommend this game for one reason. Movement is tied to controller orientation, not head orientation, making moving around and doing anything else at the same time irritating and near impossible.
As far as I can tell, this game has been abandoned and is a buggy mess
Goodgame but please fix the god damn lock picking thing its so annoying and hard to do
As a real life cowboy action shooter I do love this style of shooting game. All guns look great! Except the scope on a 73' lever rifle is just wrong. If they added a single shot buffalo gun with scope that would be realistic!
GREAT POTENTIAL here. But filled with breaking bugs. I've had the reload animation loop uncontrollably so I couldn't shoot for the rest of the game. Enemies were stuck in rocks and geometry and shooting out at me. Random crashes when killing an enemy.
I love the west and want to love this game. But I couldn't recommend this "experiment"
It has been abandoned.
Want to be that cowboy that you saw when you were a kid? This is it! Hopefully the devs wont ditch the game as the updates are what to say slow thou!
It has such promise but the simple fact is that its very boring and slow. When you fire a gun you should expect the bullet to go pretty fast right? Not in this game. When the enemies shoot at you the bullets travel so slow that you can watch it come at you then move out of the way. It also has no instructions. I really love western games but this one needs heavy improvement.
There is so much goodness in this title already, and I can't wait to see how it grows.
Themamtically in design and look it is dead on.
The shooting mechanics are almost perfect (still struggling with the rifles myself) and add to the tension and feeling of succes when nailing a target from yards away.
I really like the different game modes that are already in the game, and looking forward to seeing what else the dev's can fit in.
I had a great time playing Westard.
Although the graphics are simple and cartoon-like I found them to be effective and appealing.
Multiple options for movement are available including teleport, arm-swinging, and free locomotion using the trackpads. I used free locomotion but made a custom binding in Steam so as to use thumbsticks for my Windows Mixed Reality headset (which works fine by the way). You can turn around using room-scale (i.e. turning in real-life) and there is also an option for smooth turning or click turning in various degrees.
You have multiple weapon slots that act as holsters which you access using the grip buttons. Reloading your weapons is manual, as is cocking your pistol/rifle. I found this both fun and satisfying. I did find that 2 handed weapons were a bit clumsy to use at first but I got used to them fairly quickly.
Aiming is difficult (I'm a lousy shot!), especially with the pistol, but rewarding when you land a killing shot.
Enemy AI is simplistic and unfortunately a bit buggy. If you shoot at them they will shoot back but will generally stay in their assigned area. They aim with better precision than me but dodging their bullets is fairly easy (provided you're not seriously out numbered) and fun. If you stop shooting at them they will forget about you and go back to what they were doing (generally doing a simple patrol circuit). Sometimes they wouldn't respond at all to being shot at - hopefully this will be improved by the devs.
Incredible Potential, but i fear the price will keep the player base from growing to a sustainable level. make it cheaper
This is a really fun game about robbing banks/farms in the wild west. It's fairly easy to learn, and quite tough to beat missions properly, and a really fun solo challenge or a great coop one too. Can't wait to see what else is added in the coming months!
Played on a gtx 1050ti/ i5 3470
Had a very smooth experience, and would easily recomend anyone with a low end VR setup to grab this ASAP
this game is easily worth its $10 price tag several times over, even in its current limited state of development
first: fully functional smooth locomotion and (oculus) smooth stick turning. HALLELUJAH.
2 co op maps, 2 pvp maps, more announced coming soon. Only seen one enemy type so far but its the kind of game where one enemy isn't a problem, but attacking three requires strategy.
it's still a little glitchy, but the mechanics of loading, cocking, and firing the various rifles and shotguns are spot on, and being able to do the hollywood style flip-reload is bad a$$ af. short clip of me enjoying the hell out of the mare's leg style shotgun clips.twitch.tv/SilkyTrappedBaconAsianGlow
Multiplayer isn't working for me and my friend, your hands freeze when you join a lobby and then it goes back to the menu. Refunding until it works.
It has a great concept, but the game is dead, you will rarely see anyone playing even though it is a heavily multiplayer based game. I was also disappointed that you have to find guns to use (other than your pistol) as you go through a mission or level, in my opinion it would be lots more fun if you can choose the weapons you spawn in with. Another suggestion is if there was a reason to play, like leveling up, unlocking guns, unlocking customizations, or new missions. I guess my point is that it is just what you would expect for a $10 game, but it could be much better.
-Got bundles of potential
-The next few months will be crucial for this game in maintaining interest.
-Great graphics and art
-Very buggy
Worth a purchase, but advisable to wait until bugs are addressed.
Played on GTX 1060 (6gb), HTC Vive

TL;DR
I’m recommending this game because I genuinely liked it, I like where it’s going at least. The art style is cool, guns look and sound great, and I really enjoyed having to pull the hammer or cocking the gun after firing every round. It also features two multiplayer modes (Co-Op/PVP). However, I encountered several bugs, and it may not seem like it has enough content to justify the price for some. ONLY purchase if you’re willing to beta test while they iron out the bugs and add more content.
*Edit: The developers seem to be adressing the issues I originally had fairly quickly, which is great news. Keep it up!
Warnings:
Buggy, High Price (at this time), Motion Sickness (no classic teleport option), Low Player Base for Multiplayer Mode (Bring Your Own Friends)
Audio/Visual:
Very simple, but colorful graphics, I actually enjoyed the art style. Especially the character models, they're simple and lacking in variety but I very much liked their outfits. I also really liked the guns models and enemy bullet trails. I've seen some people complain that enemy bullets are way too slow but I think they're just right. Not much of a challenge when facing one enemy, but if swarmed they're very difficult to dodge all at once.
I think the different guns sound really cool but everything else needs a little work. The footsteps seem out of sync, the environment sounds are there but they're a little, and enemies don’t even grunt.
Gameplay:
You basically play an outlaw in the wild west. There are three game modes, Solo, Co-op, and PVP, and about two different maps, I believe.
When you first start the game, you are greeted with a “help” panel to your left. I found the instructions to be somewhat unclear and a little confusing. I will try my best to explain them in a different section below.
Once you choose your mode and map, you spawn out in the desert. Your job is to follow the objectives shown in front of you while trying to survive the onslaught of enemies. You begin with a pistol at your side, and you have to make your way through the town.
Shooting is fairly straightforward, although a little difficult at times. Either I'm a horrible shot or some weapons are not very accurate, which would be appropriate considering to the setting. What did come as a surprise was the fact that you had to manually pull back the revolver’s hammer or cock the weapon after every shot. This seemed like it would get old really fast but after playing for a while, I actually enjoy it a lot. It gives it a nice touch, actually feels like a western.
After the pistol is depleted, you have to manually reload also, but only one bullet. The rest are inserted automatically. I saw an entry in the notes stating they would add automatic reload in the future but I honestly prefer having to manually do it. It makes it more challenging when you’re under heavy fire. Rifles and shotguns can be picked up from some defeated enemies or scattered around the map, and like the pistol, have to be manually loaded and cocked which I found really cool. You can also rapid-fire the pistol by cocking with your off-hand while you shoot. And you can dual wield!
Moving is a little slow, if you double click the trackpad you can sprint but not much faster. This makes dodging bullets more of a challenge, especially when enemies CAN shoot through some walls and buildings. There’s also no classic teleport option for those who suffer from motion sickness. Instead, they have a method similar Pavlov's "Out of Body" locomotion. Their game describes it as a "teleport variation without actually teleporting, your "avatar" moves into the target location while you snap every half a second to it...". This somewhat helps with motion sickness but doesn't completely remove it. Some players still report being affected.
The A.I. needs a lot of work, I think this is where the game struggles the most. Most enemies will fire based on proximity, some will just keep calmly patrolling even when there’s a huge firefight around them and bullets are flying past their heads, some will not even turn around when being shot. And they all seem to forget you immediately when you're out of range.
Another thing I noticed is that enemies don’t really give you much feedback when being shot until they drop dead, besides a small puff of red when the bullet makes contact. It would be nice to see more animation and sound when it comes to landing shots on enemies.
Multiplayer:
I have not been able to test any multiplayer modes at this time due to not being able to find anyone to play with. So if you're looking for a multiplayer game, you might want to bring a couple of friends for this one.
Help:
I found the guide in the game a little confusing so let me try and explain...
In-game menu: Hold your left Vive controller vertically in front of you (down to up), then rotate the controller so it’s facing you (buttons away from you).
Respawning: Press the grip buttons on both controllers at the same time (when timer reaches zero).
Firing & Reloading Pistols: Pull back on the hammer before firing by pressing the menu button (above the trackpad). Once your weapon is depleted, flick your wrist to the right to expose the cylinder, take a bullet from your waist and insert it into the pistol. The game will automatically reload the remaining 5 bullets.
Firing & Reloading Rifles: The slot where the bullets go is on the right side of the rifle. You reload from the same "pocket" you use for the pistol, the bullets change depending on which weapon you have equipped. You need to reload these one by one.
There are several ways to cock the rifle:
- One-handed Method 1: Flick your wrist down to open the chamber, flick your wrist back up to close it. Your weapon is ready to fire.
- One-handed Method 2: Flick your wrist up to automatically roll the rifle backwards. Your weapon is ready to fire.
[*]Two-handed Method: While holding the barrel of the rifle with your off-hand (grip button), use your main hand to press and hold the menu button (above trackpad), now "swing" your main hand down and back up (as if you were really reloading) to chamber the round. Your weapon is ready to fire.
Firing & Reloading Shotguns: The chamber needs to be open in order to reload shotguns.
Flick your wrist down to open the chamber, insert shells from holster, flick your wrist back to close the chamber. Your weapon is ready to fire.
Please note than you can insert more than one shell in single-barrel shotguns (around six), while you can only insert two in double-barrel shotguns.
You may drop your weapon by double-clicking the grip button of the hand holding the gun.
Final Thoughts:
I think this game is definitely headed in the right direction. If the developers work on the game's issues and add more content, I think it could be a great game. As of this moment however, I think it’s a little lacking on some aspects and may not justify the admission price for some. If you do purchase it, make sure you understand it may not feel like a full game at this time.
*This review is based on my personal experience with the game at its current state (date of review or last edit), and may be edited in the future as I play more and/or the game is updated.*
Had to request refund. Game needs some work.
Pros:
Graphics, shooting gameplay(reloading is cool)
Atmosphere is great.
Gratifying feeling when shooting enemies.
Feels like a fun Western VR game.
Cons:
Movement for the most part is similar to Pavlov, but I need to run (This game forces you to walk around looking for dynamite, and gets boring. I was never able to find the TNT required to blow open the safes located in the train) We need a run function similar to Pavlov.
The menu function is absolutely awful, almost sprained my wrist trying to pull it up.
Suggestions: Improve the menu, movement controls to something similar to Pavlov
Let me run, and tell me where to go (some type of hint), if I need to find TNT. Gets kinda slow walking around looking for it. If there is running, Im not able to figure it out.
This game has a lot of potential. If they fix these issues. I will return. Especially for 10 dollars.
