Wild Guns Reloaded

"Wild Guns Reloaded" is the first in a series of celebrated remakes by Natsume. The original "Wild Guns" was a gallery shooter released for the SNES, and it was by far one of the greatest arcade-style games for the system. As you'd expect from Natsume, the game had an incredibly fun and well designed set of mechanics. There was the delightfully absurd parry system, where you could shoot bullets out of the sky to build up your super meter. You could whack melee enemies with the butt of your gun, and you could throw lassos that slowed the enemy down. The level and enemy design was also incredibly full of personality. Being an SNES game, the original was a bit limited how much stuff it could put onscreen, and it employed a narrow aspect ratio suited to CRT televisions. "Wild Guns Reloaded" adopts a wider field of view, greatly reducing the need for panning, and it somewhat increases the enemy count to match. On the whole, it's an extremely faithful adaptation, though some parts are easier or harder. The game includes all 6 levels from the original game, plus 2 brand new ones, but minus the 2 bonus stages. The way it implements difficulty levels is puzzling. "Easy Mode" is simply the…

Fantastic game

Game is pretty fun

It's really good arcade style game. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome, I recommend bind two buttons for shooting, and make one of them turbo in Steam Input settings, so you can use lasso without mashing.

Wild Guns Reloaded is an energetic arcade shooter that successfully brings a classic style of action into a more modern package without sacrificing the qualities that made the original concept memorable. Developed by NatsumeAtari and published by Natsume Inc., it blends the American Wild West with exaggerated science-fiction machinery, resulting in a world where gunslingers battle criminals, robots, armored machines, and enormous mechanical bosses. It is deliberately straightforward in structure, but beneath that simplicity is a demanding game built around accuracy, quick reactions, positioning, and learning how enemy attacks work. The gameplay is immediately distinctive because the player controls both a character in the foreground and a targeting reticle aimed toward enemies elsewhere on the screen. Shooting is only half of the challenge. Players must constantly watch incoming attacks while deciding whether to continue firing or interrupt their offense to jump, roll, and dodge. This creates an enjoyable risk-and-reward rhythm where becoming too focused on damaging an enemy can result in getting hit by another threat. Some incoming shots can also be destroyed, making accurate gun…

really fun retro gallery shooter with amazing gameplay mechanics. the way i need to control the character and the crosshair requires a special split brain skill that's easy to learn but hard to master. i never played the original on the snes but i got the great opportunity to play it here and i keep revisiting it and it's fun every time. the problem is that it can be too difficult it feels unfair sometimes. it also inherits the same "flaws" of old games, in which that if you die, you go back to the beginning of the stage. many other modern retro-style/pixel art games understood the fact that we're no longer kids, and we no longer have the time and patience to replay one single section over and over. they understood checkpoints and gave us the option to choose between a smoother experience or a retro one with limited lives and continues. unfortunately, this game still carries the heart and soul of a snes games. while continues are unlimited, lives are very limited and it's a 1-hit kill, so it can get real hard real fast. furthermore, there is no saving, so if you quit and return later for another session, you're gonna start a new game from the beginning. c'mon! most adult gamers don…
