If Hard West was a twin-stick shooter
First of all, this game borrows liberally from Dead Cells, mostly in terms of upgrade mechanics (upgrading one of three stats, unlocking new items, etc.). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as Dead Cells is nearly perfect. Now, the game: You play as William Mason, recently deceased. He's evidently not good at dying, as he can't seem to stay put, wandering through Purgatory seeking: revenge, probably. This is what makes it a roguelike: you get a little bit better, a little bit stronger each time. It's hard to go wrong with that. The gameplay itself is unusual for a twin-stick shooter: instead of bullet hell or swarm enemies, it's a proper cover shooter. That means you have to think somewhat tactically, which I love. Nothing like diving behind a sarcophagus just as the enemy's bullets hit the side. The game is, all around, quite good. It doesn't quite measure up to Dead Cells, but it comes pretty close. The visuals are nice, the combat is the ideal "easy to learn, hard to master" type, and it's wonderful hearing Ron Perlman's voice in an indie game. This is far from an in-depth review, but nevertheless, I hope it helps.
