A gorgeous sort of weird western procedural tactics game. I save-scummed until I won because starting over would suck, and the game was very friendly to that. My party members died, I met new ones, we made it to the west coast. Quite memorable.

Actually abysmal. Despite being a turn based game, your choices from map to map are so severely limited they play themselves. RNG heavy, uninspired atmosphere, and harsh punishments make this game hard to get into.

You can play as a full pack of dogs. 5/5

So I made it to the last area but didn’t reach the boss. It’s debatable whether the game is technically complete but it’s a rogue like where you do runs and have to start from scratch if you die. You can retry the last level as many times as you want, but you’ll be put in impossible situations depending on the random generated levels you encounter. This is also my biggest problem with the game. The fact that it’s dependant on luck and it’s really harsh if you’re stuck. You’re basically dead. It gave me a good sense of survival and I like the game otherwise. Just don’t feel like repeating what I already did. The game is not strong enough to warrant repeated runs imo. I saw some depth hidden but there is not enough variety with the enemy (etc) and the repeated dialogue doesn’t help either.

its ok graphics feel more simplistic than stylised
and same goes for the gameplay
