Wickedly fun
I highly recommend the Eurogamer video review. Before the last battle of the first scenario, I finally got the Equalization skill: set everyone to 1 hp. I needed it for an achievement, so I used it as the first action and went ahead with the battle. About half way through, having picked off a couple of enemies in the classic flank and shoot from cover to cover style, I was feeling confident. Then out of nowhere, 5 enemies converged on the house, peeking through windows and open doors. I was cornered, with everyone exposed and no way out. And I was playing on ironman mode. If even one of my critical characters took a hit, I would have to restart the whole scenario. As I was cycling through my characters, trying to plan a way out, I noticed that I also had the Barrage skill. As luck would have it, that character still had enough luck to use it, pun intended. Why not? One action point later, 4 of the 5 enemies laid dead in a gunkata shootout right out of the movie Equilibrium, or the game Alpha Protocol. A couple of turns later, I won, easily. This was Hard West at its best. The best way to enjoy this game is to find the cheesiest way to use the skills you have and watch your enemies fall like dominos. I used Equilizatio-Barrage again later, killing 6 enemies at one point. I used the Jinx... I will let you discover that. That mission is kind of scripted. The point is, this is not XCOM. If you aren't being crazy or cheesy or flamboyant, you are not having much fun. This applies to the scenarios as well. Each is really a mini campaign with its own theme. You can be a 49er or a crazy scientist or a mass murderer out for revenge. They are meant to be distinct but connected, not a cohesive whole. Before each scenario and each battle, ask yourself, "What kind of crazy shenanigans can I get into this time?" Downsides: The scenario mechanics, though distinctive, are kind of shallow. There are only so many fun skills, so the tactical battles get tiresome after a while.
