About Hard West

About this game

Witness the Wild West as you've never seen it before with your Hard West Steam PC key. You'll fight and survive through eight unique story-based scenarios, and try your hand at 40 individually designed turn-based combat missions.

WILDER THAN WILD
When a tragic turn of events sets one man down a path of supernatural chaos and revenge, he must brutally hunt down all those who wronged him. Follow Warren on his descent into the darkest recesses of the human soul, and try to survive in a world full of hard choices and even harder consequences.

Because in this world, death is a constant presence and the black pacts which you make with forces beyond human comprehension will forever haunt all those around you. Journey deeper into the world of Hard West and meet a colorful cast of playable characters whose fates are intimately intertwined with yours.

Together you will need to make divisive choices to uncover the ultimate plans of the ancient powers at play, as you unravel a deep narrative storyline featuring multiple endings depending on the choices you make during the game.

YOUR OFFICIAL HARD WEST STEAM PC KEY GIVES YOU:

  • A Unique 'Weird' West World: Explore a world where Western legends meet demons, arcane rituals and satanic cults and where the dead can walk the Earth again. For a price.
  • Compelling Turn-based Combat: Control 1-4 squad members in thrilling turn-based combat encounters and master a range of powerful western-inspired special abilities, from feats of gunslinging to survivability against all odds, to take out your opponents in a series of original tactical maps with unique story-based objectives.
  • Collect and Combine Special Abilities: Obtain new special abilities by collecting and equipping unique cards that are earned throughout the game by completing main- and optional objectives, exploration, bartering, treasure hunting and more. These cards can be combined to create even more powerful combos and provide additional options in combat.
  • Choice and Fate: Experience a deep story where decisions made during and between combat scenarios will resonate through future events and change the ultimate fates of a divisive group of colorful characters
  • Luck of the Draw: Use a combat system that goes far beyond pure probability by featuring luck as a unique guardian of engaging and challenging combat
  • Dynamic Cover: Change the flow of combat thanks to an extensive cover system which allows for the creation of effective cover from objects in the environment, making flanking and maneuvering during battles a truly powerful tactic
  • Shadow Spotting: Exploit the Blazing western sun to Locate out of sight enemies by the shadows that they cast, along with the sounds they make
  • Ricochets: Utilize Metal objects to allow master gunslingers to shoot beyond the line of sight for increased tactical combat options, and diversified planning
  • 40 Historically Inspired Weapons: Equip and employ an eclectic collection of deadly shotguns, rifles, pistols and sniper rifles, all based upon real outlandish prototypes, designs and ideas from the era

If you liked XCOM, If you liked Shining force. If you liked Might and magic heroes. You will like this. I bought this game needing that feel of turn based xcom tactics and upgrades with a great story, And I was not disappointed, I even gave it 3 playthroughs just to get 100% completion. Really loved the abilities Really loved the story. Incredible for the tactical turn based enthusiast.

Great dark supernatural chaotic Western Story!

KelariCuddles

Hard West is am amazing game if you love RPG tactical games and have a niche for Western games. The Story is intriguing and it left me wanting to know more about poor sod stuck in this super natural world of chaos and action. The game play is very much like XCom and Mutants: Road to Eden. Pros -- Amazing game, great story, loads of action, different play styles, sometimes you have to stealth sometimes you can go in guns blazing -- Challenging game play -- Amazing narrative, dark themes -- Unique upgrading system -- Great visuals and aesthetics Cons -- Sometimes the game play is TOO CHALLENGING. You might die a lot and it gets frustrating or you get stuck. No one likes to do the same level 3546 times. -- If you have played XCOM you know sometimes RNG is not very forgiving, but don't let RNG ruin a game.

Cheap and fun.

A solid turn-based strategy game with good narration, combat, and resource management. Each chapter offers a different gameplay loop, some leaning more towards resource management than others, but all of them being enjoyable. The turn-based gameplay is a bit basic, but also intuitive and fun. The game is regularly on sale for super cheap and is more than worth every penny.

This game is freaking awesome! Western theme, turn-based. I wasn't in for the game by then. Then I read about the "richotec shot" AKA bounce your shot off some object. That felt cool. And there were various simple upgrades for characters Complexity is completely up to you depending upon the game difficulty that you choose. I'm a casual player so I chose the "Easy" option and this is among the most balanced game that I've ever played. There's a comprehensible story which means that it's not just something that they're blabbering. It actually makes enough sense to keep you hooked to the story. You want the characters to succeed. You can move your characters to defensive positions based on the environment and keep reloading/firing at the enemy. It's easier than it sounds. Lots of different abilities but not so much that it'll overwhelm you. You can plan whatever strategy you want and all of them might work out. Overall, one of the best turn-based strategy games that I've ever played!

Fun, Turn-Based Western Game

travelingmc
Verified purchase
The game is pretty fun and doesn't take too much brain power to play. It's a western, but actually turn based so movement radius, cover, abilities (shoot, fan, cone shot, etc...) all matter in combat so it's not twitch (which I like). Non-combat is menu-based (like choosing options on how to extract gold from a mine) so pretty light-touch / easy.
