Attention aux bugs !

En terme de graphismes, nous sommes dans la moyenne ; ne vous attendez pas à des textures merveilleuses. Cependant, l'ambiance rattrape ! Ce mélange de western et de démons en plus d'être original dispose d'une ambiance très bien travaillée ! La musique est bonne. La voix du narrateur est excellente : j'ai beaucoup aimé ! En terme de scénario, tout est découpé en plusieurs campagnes avec des personnages différents, certains sont reliés, d'autres non. Chacune tente de mettre en place une mécanique. Par exemple : extraire de l'or pour la première et faire monter sa prime pour la deuxième. C'est pas mal comme idée mais... Pas assez travaillé à mon avis. C'est un système qui est là. C'est tout. Vous l'enlevez, vous verriez pas la différence. Je salut le fait qu'on puisse faire quelques missions de manière discrète ! Les combats sont font au tour par tour. Pas grand chose à dire là dessus. Les ennemis disposent du "tir d'opportunité", c'est à dire qu'ils peuvent vous toucher quand vous vous déplacez vers eux. Mais vous, vous ne l'avez pas. En fait, le jeu serait encore plus facile ! Étant donné que cette compétence ne se déclenche que si vous êtes en vue de l'ennemi, vous pouvez le gruger en courant droit sur lui en étant caché le tour d'avant : on peut littéralement coller notre arme sous leur nez ! Le système de chance est là aussi une bonne idée, il permet de mieux "mesurer" notre faculté d'esquiver les tirs... En théorie, dans la réalité, si vous rater votre premier tir sur un ennemi, votre compagnon aura 100 % de chance de réussite sur ce dit-adversaire. Les armes sont au final peut nombreuses et vous aurez pour habitude de vous rendre vers le Marchand du Destin qui vous fournira toutes les armes les plus pétées à chaque scénarios. Du coup, les autres servent à rien à part vous enrichir ! Défauts principaux : Pas de slots de sauvegardes, Beaucoup de bugs (écran noir, perso qui reste bloqué, ...), IA stupide et prévisible. Je conseille néanmoins !

A deeply flawed XCOM knock-off

If "XCOM clone that replaces base building with CYOA segments" sounds like something you really must have, get this when it's at least 50% off. Otherwise, don't bother. Length: 15-20 hours. The campaign is split up into multiple scenarios, mini-campaigns of their own. Annoyingly, there is only a simple checkpoint system and no ability to save manually. Some missions have a lengthy setup stage. Having to repeat those is downright painful. Combat: The tactical combat copies Firaxis' XCOM, adding the Luck mechanic to sort of distinguish it. Luck is a stat that gives you a chance to avoid shots and can be used to pay for some abilities. Your luck pool decreases when you evade a shot, increases when you get hit. The issue is that you get shot at constantly in many missions simply because of the number of enemies. In these cases you will often have trouble paying for abilities unless you get hit. Many maps are too small, and often enough you start in a defensive position, with 10 enemies right in front of you and no incentive to move beyond getting into slightly better cover. There is no enemy variability beyond stat and weapon variations. There are no crits and it's generally easy to get 100% chance to hit, making combat reasonably predictable. Cover can be hard to figure out, though. Characters only differ in stats, advancement happens through playing cards that you assign to characters, giving a small stat boost and an ability. Card balance is bad, and several are incredibly overpowered. There's one that reduces the HP of everyone on the map to 1, and enemies don't use healing items. Between battles: Basic CYOA adventure stuff and some trading. For how long these parts take in some scenarios (you'll often click through text much more than fight), there's very little depth here. Some scenarios come with a gimmick added to the CYOA segments, like having to manage supplies. These generally have little influence on how you play, or are just outright irrelevant.

Behind it's potential

Hard West is a turn-based strategy game with simple mechanics already known from similar games like UFO. I really like the steamish wild west setting and for those of you who know the Deadlands pen'n'paper rpg, Hard West will be fine. Sadly, the game stays behind it's potential. The combat mechanics are to simple for my taste with very less strategic value and options. All in all you just shoot through a handfull of tiny-to-small maps with diffrent characters and more or less diffrent weaponery. I hope Hard West will get a Part II and i also hope the devs will or should take a look at Fallout Tactics to improve the mechanics, story telling and map size.

Strategic Westerm

I was first reluctant to try out Hard West. I like X-Com and read that the turned based strategy was similar in Hard West. However, as I grew very tired of X-com, and never finished one playthrough I thought that it would be the same with Hard West. However, Hard West have something X-Com doesn't. A good story. Right at the first tutorial level I was introduced to this harsh western world, where the occult have a strong presence. The strategy is ok, you feel the power in the guns you use as well as the different powers you obtain later in the game but the best thing in this game is the story. A story about a boy growing up in a harsh environment and a dad doing everything he can to exact revenge on those that murdered his wife. A lot of the story is told on the overview map, as well as in cut scenes, the blend between the overview map quests and things you do there gives a good complement to the turn based combat. I highly recommend this game for people who wants to experience a good mature story where the nature of human behaviour gets explored to its core.

Great positional strategy game.

This was one of the few tactical games that has forced me to play both cautiously and very tactically. The generous cover system and high damage weaponry mean you really need to keep in a safe position to succeed, rather than a rambo-style approach. The enemies get the same benefit, though, so you have to constantly move around, analyzing the terrain to try to find points where you can get on a new side of them while staying safe. If this doesn't work, you end up pinned in a tense duel, which is sufficiently in the player's favor as to not be devastating, while still being a rather exciting twist. The theme adds a lot of pizzazz to all that, really making it feel like an old-fashioned shootout when you do something like dive behind a bar to get out of the way and fire your revolver. There's enough customization that you can play it your way (even choosing which aspects of the tactical play you prefer), but not so much it seems unfair or overwhelming. Overall, it's the tense shootout I'd always wished XCOM-style games delivered.
