No legs? No problem. By simply moving your stick horse up and down, players can propel themselves smoothly across the expansive Badlands, from the cliffs to the caves and back. No teleporting, no motion sickness, just a pure, unadulterated lead slinging experience!

- Eight Shooter - One more than seven bullets means one more than seven bandits headed for a dirt nap.
- Pickaxe - Like a normal axe but for rocks. Or bandits. Mostly bandits.
- Double-Barrel - Why shoot a bullet when you can blow a bunch of hot metal out of, not only one, but two barrels? Not to mention Jolene is one pretty lady.
- Sniper Rifle - Long gun, long range. 'Nough said.
- Dynamite - You only need a pinch to blow up a bandit. Good thing you've got a whole stick of it.
- Iron Falcon - Big bullets for when you have big problems. Oh, and they explode.
- Brimstone Gun - For when its dark, or when you need to light a bandit on fire. Which ever comes first.

Fantastic little gem! Totally awesome humor and all around fun! 9/10 - Western GungHo for the win!2 found this helpful
it was good
Really clever locomotion mechanic, and the gameplay is way more fun than any of the other VR shooting galleries I've seen so far. Only suggestion I have is maybe add that tunnel vision thing that a bunch of other VR games have when moving to help reduce motion sickness, because after about half an hour I was starting to feel a bit off, but otherwise I definitely enjoy it so far.
Had this in my wishlist for a while, not sure... But should not have waited. Excellent game, very immersive & the locomotion becomes very intuitive. I cannot do free motion (eg Doom) without motion sickness, but this is fine. (Just don't try a 90 degree turn while 'galloping'!). Very polished product.
Lately I've found that some of my biggest problems, or what makes or breaks a VR Title for me, is sometimes the locomotion method is quite that good. I can say in full confidence that this is some of the best locomotion in any VR game I have played to date. Its so goofy and funny yet it works flawlessly. The actual gameplay is simple but very much enjoyable. You just HOPALONG on your trusty steed in one hand, and use your other to shoot bandits, and its done very well. I can fully recommend this title, especially since its easy to play, family fun, and great for parties
Better than most wave shooters and if you're a fan of the old west / Yosemite Sam cartoon style you'll love it! I had my doubts that there was enough challenge given the price tag however two hours later and I'm not even through chapter 1 of the 3 available chapters in the game. I'm there going to do a series on this fun little title. The stick horse mechanic while initially off putting can be a fun way to live action role play your way to fitness especially if you don't cheat by using only your arm movement and instead opt for full body movement. This is a game to play until you complete it and take down the Boomity Gang! See my Let's play Series Part 1 Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhilNijklto
