Colt Canyon

I’m not into roguelikes, but this one is a whole different story. Very fun and challenging. Having a blast!

I still can’t grasp for myself that arcade games visibly simplistic can be so joyful and satisfying. Colt Canyon for me is such a great example of that.
My heartfelt recommendation!

piss arse easy and i dont remember if it was fun or not. I completely lack any interest in picking it up again having beaten it so idk about that

call this Moult Canyon coz it made me shed my carapace

Just a cool relaxing game

It's a focused, precise game with a bit more depth than it's graphic simplicity would seem to indicate. It's probably not going to blow your mind, and it's not without some flaws, but if you have any hankering for Western-themed games or roguelites, and you like the look of it, you'll probably have fun.

Good Game

Extremely fun little game that takes me back to playing flash games on Kongregate, Miniclip and Armor Games, only with much more polish and content.

Game's cool, I like the rng, because it feels like gambling, and I love gambling.

i really like this game when it comes to daily playing it, i like the characters i LOVE the upgrades and guns, and i like the fact it gives me like a infinitely long cult of the lamb level

Kind of a underrated game, think the simple character sprites might be what gives people the impression its a shallow game but no its a great cowboy roguelike, lots of fun and plenty of replay value from quite a few playable characters. My only tick against the game would be theres no way to see your character or weapon stats so you have to go on the wiki to see what the exact values/perks of a character are. Not really the end of the world though they feel well done and do the amount of damage youd think they'd do. Definitely melee weapons in particular arent always obvious like hammers despite being a bit weaker can be chucked super far compared to other weapons which youd only find out by testing

I can't help but think of this game as balanced more around solo play. I still haven't beaten the game as solo (i mean boss + all the way back, I was killed stupidly on my way back after killing the final boss) but we did it with my bro in coop at our 3rd try. The difficulty of the game is kinda lower when you play in coop, and using companions in solo play just breaks the game balance, because they dont need ammo and you can just hand them the most powerful weapons, including automatic ones, so they just spam the whole screen with bullets. Other weird thing about companions is their incredible tankiness, they can have up to 20 hp in late game, when you will have 6-15 depending on a character. I feel like the companions should play more of an auxiliary role not being the main source of damage and game progress. But saying this, you dont have to use companions, it is just one of the ways to play the game.

But if you play this game solo and without companions, it is pretty good. There is a great weapons variety, each with its own feel and usage. You can apply stealth tactics, long range gunplay, run-and-gun style, be hot mexican boy with a load of dynamites, melee madman. Pretty fun. There is always anticipation of the good loot, trying new guns is always interesting. Gunplay is great, enemy models react to hits differently depending on a weapon and caliber you use. Melee is very satisfying as well.

While the game dont really allow you to spend too much time on the level, I almost never had a situation when I was missing out on some crucial loot due to lack of time. Levels are compact and can be read pretty intuitively. Discovering secrets and learning small hidden mechanics was also rewarding.

Bosses are OK, 2 out of three require some dedicated tactics to use against them, the 3rd was okayish, but felt really underwhelming as a final boss. All he could do was to create a bullethell, easily dodgeable due to a lot of cover on the level.

There are a lot of characters with their unique loadouts and stats, it is fun to try new stuff in this game. Soundtrack and visuals create are good and form right western atmosphere. But for me there is a very big BUT:

Apart from companions and co-op balancing, I dont get the late game too: why you should run all the levels back after you beat the final boss. There is no challenge in that. There are only 2 new enemy types, no bosses or elites while you have lategame loot oneshotting everyone with sniper rifle for example. It was boring to fight all the levels back to start for no reason. There are no elite enemies, no real threats for you. The only way to die is to just be unattentive. And furthermore, there are some unlocks tied to beating the levels after the final boss which is meh. I would say that the game either should have been completed after the final boss or it should have more menacing enemies on the way back so they would provide an adequate opposition to the lategame builds.

I mean if the game would have final credits after the final boss and NG+ with harder difficulty, it would be really great. But in a current state, when in order to run on harder difficulty with endgame loot, you need to complete the game once and then another time in reverse order, it is just tiresome and not engaging, not challenging.

So if I could to travel in past time, I would complete the game solo first, and then started coop. Because now I pretty much unlocked almost everything and the only way to entertain myself with this one is to start hardcore run with default loadout. I will probably give this game a go from time to time, but I feel like it's lacking in terms of long-time replayability. But overall the basis of the game is great, I would definitely play something like this more.

Nice and neat little indie game

I can finally recommend this game after they added the option to reduce interface animations. Now I can actually enjoy this fun game without feeling nauseous!

I've played this for a while with my brother on switch. It's just amazing how fun this is with people, so simple yet so entertaining, you need to like rogue like tho it has a lot of accessibility options. Recommended 100%

Some time ago there was an update the makes the screen shake if your character goes up or down in the screen. It gives me a headache, even motion sickness. No way to revert to old settings. So... this game is now garbage to me. Wish I could get my money back. There seriously needs to be someway to get a refund if an update completely kills a game. Hey, Devs! Are you wondering why no one is playing your game anymore??

very well made game, lots of diverse playstyles and characters and nice achievements and nice systems and a good look and lots of polish

Tough as cowboy leather but thoughtfully done, lots of unlockables and characters, and still being patched to make things more accessible (also has various sliders enemy health etc. if you want to go that route). Scratches a certain move-and-shoot itch without an overdrawn story so I always keep it installed. Recommended!

Any update on when the Steam Workshop will open? Really excited to make mods!

Good little roguelite, with some replayablity. Recommended.

so good. play co-op mode with my girlfriend and couldnt stop. the bear is a tricky one and i still couldnt figure out how to do that one yet. challenging and fun!

amazing game but even better dev, they went above and beyond, i had issues with ps5 controller, so they went out and bought one so they could help me find a fix, which they did! genuinely the nicest dev ive ever met! amazing what they did just to help me

first impressions are good, a really fun top down shooter with great combat.

It's a fun and easy game. Verry relaxing and competitive! Strongly reccomend

Love this game, great to play while listening to podcasts. Lots of great weapons and upgrades, also a bunch of unlock able characters to play as. Definitely my favorite rogue like game,

Didn't think this game would be this fun.
Pretty solid gameplay, but it's not too hard on its default difficulty setting.

Pretty dang fun roguelike with some good co-op to boot

Fantastic game! Slow roll a stealthy sniper or go in guns blazing, the choice is yours. Fast, fluid, and fun. I still haven't tried 2 player mode yet. Highly recommended!

It’s a fun game with a cool style and interesting gameplay. There should be a “follow defend” option for the companions so that they don’t run into bombs or run too far away from the player character.

very good
ignore bad reviews and play with your friends via remote play

Hurts my brain after growing up on madness: project nexus classic but eh.

What the heck is a semi-automatic bow? (No, not a repeating crossbow.) I'm not sure either, but get one if you can. Great controls, fun gun mechanics, and AI* for the enemies. Every time I die, it feels like my fault, and I can usually point to the mistake I made. True to the nature of westerns, the story is simple and urgent. You can eventually play as a granny with a gun, which is also a staple of westerns. Highly recommend, ★★★★★/★★★★★, 10/10, buy it.

*What do you call it nowadays? Artificial sentience? Not intelligence, just awareness of its own health and condition, with steps taken to stay alive?

The third boss keep screaming about i didnt read a ransom note everytime i respawn and the boss got expensive weapon more than the ransom can ever pay with a fully automatic fire when the first boss is a farm owner an the second is a bear and the difference is so jarring that i thought the third boss is a cyborg with a cod wonder weapon when i just a cowboy with a 12 gauge

7/10 will colt-ing around the canyon again for the ransom note

(but seriously,what ransom note?)

Really really fun game, definitely not very deep but extremely fun and just the right amount of challenge for me. Great for a quieter night when you don't wanna think to hard about what your playing.

luv it. i play with a couple of friends sometimes but it's still great solo. easy game to get into. i do recommend co-op if you can but its always still a blast.

yee haw. pew pew. actually a fuckin insanely cool concept. and game. cool game. i didnt expect to see this much content and weapons and cool stuff

I've been playing this game couch co-op for years and I've thoroughly enjoyed it with my friends. I've gotten my money's worth out of it for sure! My biggest problem with the game is the distinction between your character and everything else. It can be very funny or very frustrating when you run into a trap and you realize you've been looking at the wrong character... for the 20th time in a run. Skill issue? Maybe. It'd be nice to see what the dev can do about it. Thanks dev for updating this years after release!!

definitely my kind of rouge-lite with lots of characters and fun gameplay loop. that being said, i am VERY disapointed that this game lacks a proper online co-op experience. it does have co-op but has to be played through remote play. I went into this game believing it had a built in online multiplayer so I bought a copy for a friend as well.

its 2025, you can make your games have online multiplayer. it isnt hard... this is a industry standard.
that being said, ill still recommend the game, but please do NOT advertise your game to have co-op in the preview images if it is not fully supported. Remote play was made for very old games. not something that was released in 2020

Awesome small roguelike with a classic western theme. All weapons feel satisfying to use and the game is both simple to understand and a great challenge.

Having to manage your ammo depending on what weapons you want to use, combined with the fact that your ammo acts as your currency at shops is a very clever way to add depth.

Excellent game!

Don't be squeamish, just download the game. Then when you download it, launch it. Then play it. Then die, many times. Then you'll get better. Then you'll die less, but still probably quite a bit. Then you get better at not dying, and get to the first boss. Then you die a lot again, but then you'll get better. Then you'll likely ALMOST kill the first boss, then you'll die again. This process will repeat in varying manners until finally, you realize, that you can beat the first boss, with gusto and perseverance. Then you'll make it to the forest, then you'll die, probably relatively quickly. Watch the scorpions. Not the band, although they have some cool songs, the little stingy ones that run around in the forest.

I say all this to say, great game, that is hella engaging and enjoyable. Especially for the price of $1.99 on discount.

It seems simple, but it's actually quite challenging. Overall, it's a great game to play, especially in terms of combat.

One of the best roguelike/lites I've played. I'm not usually a fan of shooter style roguelikes as they tend to be bullet hells which aren't my thing. Local Co-op was also a selling point and I'd highly recommend the game for that alone, each player is treated as an equal which isn't always the case with these things.

In this game the gunplay is fun and combat feels challenging but fair, there's a nice selection of weapons without descending into Borderlands territory with a tedious amount of weapon variations and the game does a good job of giving each weapon a unique feel which I found impressive for it being a pixelated top down shooter.

I completed my first full run last night and can say that it was satisfying, but it would be nice to see more variety added to the game in the form of different bosses or zones to increase replayability.

*spoiler alert*
decent game. not too hard enemies are easy to kill. just playing this game for the achievements ngl but defeating the final boss was satisfying cause he was downright stubborn to die especially when he started firing a straight line i got nowhere to hide lol. bosses are limited tho. if theres any updates needed they should add more boss fights. maybe an added dlc

Simple, and a lot of fun. Solid way to burn an hour. Very addictive trying to figure out what unlocks new characters or weapons. Very much worth the price of admission.

Great pixel art style, satisfying combat, atmospheric music. A new favourite in the rogue-lite genre.

one of my favorite games I have played in the last few years
-Gun Play is great
-Diffculty is prefect its a little easier then Gungon and Issaic
- Boss's are All very different but they do get a little boreing after awhile
-Biggest issue I have with this game is how long levels can take in the late to mid game it gets very long and to get all the ammo and all the stuff in the map can take a few
Overall the game is great if your willing to try it, if you like gungon and issaic you will like this game.

There is something so beautifully simple about this game. It's a rouge-like, western-style, top-down, shooter, that is made so simple to understand that I dont even get angry when I die because of rng. The mechanics are entirely skill based and the game is perfectly challenging. I dont know how I stumbled across this game but this might be one of the best rouge-likes out there.

Game looks cool but I bought it for Co op and you can only play co op when you unlock a different character, kinda lame.

The combat is really satisfying and responsive for a 2d game, it has amazing potential to grow more as a game, would recommend.

I find it crazy that the most important feature isn't listed in the store page:
You get to have a dog companion!
That alone makes it an instant worth from me

This game does the same mistake that a lot of roguelikes make. The open nature of the maps in this game only make it worse.

There are crates scattered around the areas that can be hard to spot which contain ammo/health/etc. In order to play optimally, you have to go looking through each map multiple times to make sure you didn't miss anything which kills the pace of the game to an unplayable state.

The looks and "feel" of the game are otherwise great, but if you care about winning/playing optimally, then this one issue should make the game unplayable.
