Cowboy 3030

3rd person roguelike shooter, it's a fun game to play for a couple of hours but leaves a lot to be desired, for example content and polish. Once you've finished the first run you've basically seen it all. For a few bucks it's worth trying out.

I'm going to say this is mostly a good game and very fun to play, but it's not without frustrations like having your long cooldown ability get blocked by invisible hitboxes of items, and some powerups feel just about worthless. You have to play through the game a lot to see how some abilities synergize and how some power ups affect certain abilities while not affecting others. I think it could be more detailed and have more interesting power ups in the grid. Getting a small bonus here and there doesn't feel very great. That being said the bosses are fun but with the exception of Sam I feel like most of the characters are too hard for me to play as I take too much damage and their healing is anemic. The game asks you to be perfect at dodging when it's not perfect at sloppy hitboxes and that gets frustrating. I think there could be more healing boosts. also its weird that the health booster person (or the outlaw) doesn't show up anymore past the first level. Also feel like there's supposed to be more levels as when you beat the final boss it gives you a weapon and a level like you're going to go on? I don't know maybe I need to be on a higher tier but that's just another thing you ar…

Game had a lot of potential, but it seems like it's abandoned. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it unless they come back and provide a roadmap to 1.0.

A fun, cute, simple, straight forward roguelike in a cowboy setting. Think "Returnal" but with a western theme and on a much smaller scale. Online play works flawlessly, bring the homies.

Cowboy 3030 combines the swagger of a futuristic Western with the escalating chaos of a roguelike third-person shooter. Developed and published by Soy Boy Games, it places players in Hololasso County as a bounty hunter tasked with confronting the Nebularos, a gang made up of extraterrestrial criminals and robots. The premise is deliberately playful, mixing recognizable gunslinger imagery with advanced technology, alien enemies, electrical gadgets, and increasingly dangerous firefights. Rather than relying on the unusual setting alone, the game builds its identity around fast combat, randomized progression, distinct playable heroes, and a substantial amount of replayability. The shooting has a strong bullet-hell influence that makes movement almost as important as accuracy. Ordinary encounters can quickly fill the battlefield with incoming attacks, while specialized enemies such as snipers force players to respect positioning and timing. Boss encounters intensify the pressure with patterns such as sweeping waves of lasers that have to be avoided through careful movement and well-timed dashes. Because enemies employ different attack behaviors, surviving is not simply a matter of obt…

A lot of interesting mechanisms and differentiation in the characters ([i]Teri's spread thing is a neat mini-game with each click[/i]) but I'm pretty sure the game has been abandoned. A shame, because it has / had a lot of potential.
