A very typical Devolver-published title. Which means: great presentation (art and music are the bee's knees), decent idea (different control schemes for all characters), and the gameplay that is severely lacking in way too many aspects.5 found this helpful
trash with bad controls
It deserves an honorable place in any Chuck E Cheese/Red Robin/Casino arcade room.
A Fistful of Gun, developed by FarmerGnome and published by Devolver Digital, is a frenetic top-down shooter that plunges players into a stylized Wild West setting brimming with chaotic gunfights and strategic combat. Since its release in 2015, the game has stood out for its unique approach to the shooter genre, combining pixel-art aesthetics with a roster of diverse characters, each offering distinct weapons and playstyles. This variety invites players to experiment and adapt their tactics, making each run feel fresh despite the game’s arcade-like repetition. At its heart, the game tells the story of Clayton Boon, a ruthless railroad magnate who has struck a sinister pact with the Devil. Players step into the boots of one of eleven different gunslingers, all vying to stop Boon’s destructive plans within a twelve-day timeframe. This narrative unfolds across a series of arena-style battles where players face off against waves of enemies in destructible environments. These arenas feature a range of obstacles and tactical considerations, requiring players to use cover wisely while managing the onslaught of foes. The randomized nature of each battle ensures that no two encounters are …
It's actually extremely fun game, I love it. Although the sound is bugged out. it always plays a different song on each roadgoal and even in peaceful places it plays panic music.
