The RNG factor is present to some extent but in the majority of cases the right strategy will minimise it. When the above features are working as intended, the game makes you feel like the ultimate badass as you and your four-team squad mow down hordes of enemies in a carefully choreographed ballet of violence and blood. Proper use of abilities and weapons with AOE (such as the shotgun) are crucial for maximizing the damage you do each round. These features also give the combat a puzzle-like feel since in most cases you are faced with numerous enemies and you have to make the most out of your skills, carefully selecting targets and abilities in order to give your units multiple action point replenishments. Ricochet refers to the ability to ricochet your shots on various objects on the map so you can hit enemies in cover, while Bravado allows characters to replenish all their action points if they kill an opponent. a missed shot) and increases the accuracy rate of the next one. The most important innovations of the combat system can be summed up in three words: Luck, Ricochet and Bravado! A character's Luck rises after various events (e.g. The combat system will be familiar to fans of the genre, with very little adjustment and familiarization time. The combat interface also follows the XCOM path with the familiar yellow boxes showing how far you can move and the ability bar at the bottom of the screen with the actions your character can perform. Exploration, character equipping, questing and roleplaying elements take place on the world map of the area you're in, while tactical combat is conducted on separate maps designed specifically for each mission. The relatively experienced player of turn-based tactical games will have no trouble adapting to the gameplay of Hard West 2 whether they've played the first game or not as the action follows the familiar style of modern XCOM. Unfortunately for him, our hero hadn't heard the adage about "making a deal with the devil", he plays the perfect game but the demon (of course) cheats and takes their souls! Shortly after the leader is rescued by a member of his gang and sets out to seek out the rest of his companions with one final goal: To get revenge on the demon and regain his soul! As is common in games of this genre, exploration happens through an overworld map and you're transported to separate maps when a battle begins. Although they manage to cross the train after a fierce battle, they are confronted by a mysterious figure who reveals himself as the archdemon Mammon! The gang leader in a desperate attempt to save his people challenges the demon to the ultimate gamble: To play a hand of poker for their fate, with salvation as the prize and their souls as the price. Unfortunately for our (anti-)heroes, however, the treasure turns out to be bull or, more accurately, sulphur. Our story begins somewhere in the Hard West with a group of outlaws trying to rob a train that is (supposedly) carrying a great treasure.
Put your six-shooters on and let's go! The plot of the game is presented with beautifully designed images in comic book format with accompanying narration.

This time the development task fell to Ice Code Games and it remains to be seen if the sequel managed to evolve the series. In the end it turned out that I should have prioritized it because, despite the various bugs and the relatively low level of production, I enjoyed the game from start to finish. Although the setting (wild west with a horror/demonic tinge) and gameplay (turn-based tactics) were among my favorites from the start, it was nevertheless several years before it made it out of the backlog. I've been waiting for a sequel to Hard West for a long time, the "lovecraft western" as Stefanos Koutsoukos wrote in his review for this site.
