Blaze a trail back to the dark heart of the West in Hard West 2.
You are Gin Carter, a notorious outlaw with a reputation as dangerous as the frontier itself.
On the hunt for a big score, you hear talk that the legendary “Ghost Train” is heading your way loaded with federal gold. This is the one.
You swiftly assemble a posse of outlaws, some with guns, others with the kind of supernatural skills that make saloon bars fall silent in a split second.
Night falls and the posse rides out, silhouetted in the spectral light of the moon. Together, you transform the prairie into an ungodly land echoing with gunfire and the screams of the hunted.
But once on board the train, you discover it’s not named the “Ghost Train” for nothing. What follows is the fight of your life through the uncharted badlands of the Hard West, propelled by bullets, witchcraft, and your pursuit of personal salvation at any cost.
Chase down the devil himself and take back what he stole — your soul.
Features
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UNDEAD: Folktales of the far West collide with the darkness of the occult in an unforgiving land riddled with as many demons as there are bullets.
CONQUER THE DARK FRONTIER: Explore the far reaches of the Wild West in a desperate fight to save your soul. Discover more about your posse as you wander the lands, from snow-covered vistas to frontier towns, struggling to survive in a merciless world. Make brutal choices and learn to live with the gruesome consequences.
SHOW YOUR BRAVADO: Rack up kills to activate your Bravado State and replenish your Action Points as you roam the land taking down anyone — or anything — that gets in your way. Chain together stylish kills of multiple foes to extend your streak and shore up your reputation as a legendary gunslinger.
SUPERCHARGED POSSE: Unearth mysterious playing cards to build your posse’s poker hands, and kit them out with punchier guns, explosives, trinkets, or just a square meal of beans and whiskey to keep them in top six-shooter shape.
UNNATURAL LEADER: Like it or not, responsibility for your growing posse of gunslinging outlaws, teleporting witches, and other mysterious beings lands at your boot-clad feet. But be careful who you listen to and what you ask them to do. The right choices lead to more Loyalty Points and useful new skills for those closest to you, but choosing poorly will test their commitment to your cause.
SHOOTOUTS ON THE MOVE: With projectiles of lead and witchcraft, the turn-based combat happens in dynamically shifting environments, keeping your brain as busy as your trigger finger. Let your imagination of Westerns run wild, from chases on horseback to tense train hold ups, as you hone your strategic skills to a fine edge.
If you ever liked game called Weird West, then you would love the atmoshpere of this one. This is very similar turn-based game with supernatural and western vibes. However, there is some problems with autosaving, saving fails and takes too much time during combats, so the gaming experience is no longer immersive as I want.
GOG asked me to write a review. Hope it's coherent : p
I've been playing Hard West 2 for only a few hot seconds, but who has two thumbs and likes it quite a bit?? This guy. * points thumbs at self *
This is some solid X-COM turned-based shooty stuff, with supernatural cowboys. The writing, characters and game feel has all been super solid.
Sick 2D cutscenes.
I'm not far in, but I like what I've seen and am eager to unload some more lead in the direction of whatever nefarious bad guys happen to be hanging around.
I hope this review-in-progress sufficiently satiates the GOG reviewer overlords : ) Hail Hydra.
I love how despite this being a turn based game, the circumstances of each round can change the outcome completely. It's fun how you can build synergies with certain items and 'build' flexibly around characters! About those - great writing! The story is very captivating, and each character deffo has their own personality and stuff going on. Since launching, I went through the first chapter in one sitting, which these days happens rarely and what I really appreciate. Great fun.
If i had to say one thing i dont like about it so far is that some stages have to many enimes too the point of being a little unbalnced but that being said im playing on hard mode.....
