Fun and novel combat undermined by bugs
The best thing about Hard West is that it has some novel and interesting combat mechanics. The worst thing about Hard West is that it has some serious bugs. I like Hard West--there really aren't enough Western games out there--but there are too many problems with the game for me to enthusiastically recommend it to anyone else. The combat is great. It looks a lot like XCOM. It plays a lot like XCOM--in fact, I beat the first two campaign scenarios before I realized that it wasn't just XCOM with cowboys--but something very different is going on under the metaphorical hood. Unfortunately, the in-game tutorial doesn't explain it very well. This is a game where you absolutely should read the manual. The thing that distinguishes Hard West from XCOM is that combat is non-random. Instead, all characters have Luck points in addition to hit points. Each shot you take at an enemy reduces his Luck and when that's gone it's the hit point's turn. Characters regain some Luck when they get shot or when they use certain items. Luck is also the fuel for special abilities, so there's a tension between saving Luck for defensive purposes or spending Luck to kill enemies. I really enjoy games with novel approaches to turn-based tactics. Unfortunately, Hard West has some serious bugs. The game crashes to desktop a lot. It happens most often at the end of a mission but can happen mid-mission as well. I almost gave up on the game at one point because it crashed to desktop mid-mission four consecutive times. I ultimately had to restart the entire scenario. There's also a bug where important elements of the UI will simply fail to appear at the beginning of a mission. The most reliable way to get them back is to deliberately fail the mission--using the menu to restart doesn't work for some reason--but it's also possible--if frustrating--to beat the mission without them, in which case they'll usually be back for the next mission.
