As players control Warren and his compadres, you’ll find success comes from finding the best cover for any given engagement as you wait for the opportunity to strike. Much like its aforementioned inspiration, XCOM, Hard West puts a heavy emphasis on smart, cover-to-cover movement and flanking your enemies to get the upper hand. The heart of Hard West’s gameplay revolves are tense, tactical skirmishes against posses of sharpshooting gunmen, megalomaniacal crime lords and unspeakable demonic entities.
#HARD WEST WARREN SERIES#
After a series of horrifying events unfolds around him involving bandits, demons, and crazed occult-happenings, Warren’s life is changed forever as he sets off for revenge across a gritty, supernatural backdrop of the familiar American frontier. Hard West puts players in the well-worn cowboy boots of Warren, a young man whose life is changed dramatically during a disastrous trek west on the Oregon Trail. Having shot my way through countless dusty desert towns and demon-infested quarries I have to say the sentiment mostly rings true, though the game does a solid job of transcending mere imitation of Firaxis Games’ winning formula to craft an adventure that’s both intriguing and immensely satisfying based on its own merits. Warsaw-based developer CreativeForge’s gritty frontier western has been pitched as something of a supernatural cowboy take on X-COM’s tense tactical strategy formula.
Hard West has often intrigued us with its premise since being announced earlier this year.
