With no experience with this franchise, I was pleasantly surprised by the satisfactory arcade shooter mechanics of this game. It's straight and to the point, pulling from classic gameplay tropes like bullet time, auto-targeting, and skill trees. The short story mode with its Western punchy narrative plays out in vignette-style levels that each take a similar amount of time to beat as an arcade machine shooter with a handful of quarters. The campaign covers the lure of Western vigilantes, and the world's aesthetics and SFX sounds are there to match. This game is a fun shoot-and-run type of game to start and catches you off guard with a couple of quirks here and there. I would've loved more gun and enemy types as the shtick can feel a little tiring if you play the story through all at once. Also, a cover feature or a reason to use the world around you for a strategic approach would be nice. You are a bullet sponge and can't avoid getting hit. Even on the hardest difficulty this game isn't remotely difficult, outside of a couple of bosses, and your tactics rarely need to change. The lore of the old-timey Western world was cute, but names get crossed over so fast and levels are so quick that you kind of forget what happened in previous levels. A little twist ending is nice, but outside of the reveal, there's no satisfactory dessert to feed on for completing the story. The arcade levels were fun and proved to be the most challenging aspect of the game if you're in search of full completion (3 stars on each level). Prepare for some trigger finger fatigue after all your level resets. The dueling mode Is pretty weak and in general, the dueling mechanics could use a little reimagining. I had some fun with what the game was, but near completing all the achievements I was ready to move on. For the price, any casual gamer will probably have a good time. You just probably won't ever return much once you've had your fill.
