Westerado: Double Barreled

Amazing, 10/10 would accidentally upset and subsequently wipe out half the population of the game again. There's a negative review which suggests Westerado to be tediously dialogue heavy with clunky controls and gameplay, the reviewer has played for 20 minutes, and for what he's played, he's right. The thing is, once the game gets into its stride, it's a very different matter indeed. I don't often go in for multiple play throughs, but I'm currently contemplating what different approaches I could take, can I become even more homicidal, and intentionally this time?

just start blasting, you'll figure it out

Westerado is a fun, short game about revenge. The dialogue and pixelart is very tasteful - everything looks like the devs had fun making this game, and the dialogue is fun and light-hearted. The plot is fun, it has replayability and all-in-all is an immersive story. I can see myself picking this up again every half year or so, playing through the game and letting it sit in my library again in the meantime. I don't think I'll get sick of it. I'm looking forward to next time! I'd recommend this game.

Short & sweet. Becoming the greatest gunslinger in the west was a hell of a ride (looking forward to replays)

Surprisingly elegant for a old west revenge tale told through pixels.

Ten years I had this little gold nugget sitting in my wish list pocket and all this time I didn't know I missed out such a fun little western adventure. I was fooled by the games first perception expecting it a shallow little pixel doodley doo western shoot out. I was wrong and surprised by a fairly open world story game, where you shape the story by branches and decisions with consequences. I like how the beginning and ending are destined with finding the murderer, but everything in between is up to you. You can side with anyone you want, help anyone or don't, you can plot that you side with someone just to get them back stabbed. You can be a good samaritan if you want, you can also gun down everything and everyone you see, totally up to you. Combat and hat gimmick is also very unique and easy to get into. All in all it was great. I am a sucker for western settings and for pixel graphics and the decisions actually made it very fun in terms of replay ability. Probably far fetched, but this kind of reminded me of the old Desperados game, just from the view and vibe. Kind of a pixel pocket version. It's a shame they didn't make more games like this.
