Looks pretty cool. I'd prefer a Wild West CRPG (lots of dialogue, C&C, and role-playing in addition to combat), but I can settle for another turn-based tactics game.

That reminds me I need to finish my playthrough of Hard West.

Meh - this looks like shovelware

At least the setting is Western Been awhile since I saw that, maybe since Desperados?

As long as this is actually turn based and not riddled with rapid timed sequences, I'm certain I'll be trying it out. I do love the wild wild west!

There was that other turn-based Western from 2 or 3 years ago. I can't think of the name, but this game looks very similar.

*Edit* Hard West is the game I was thinking of.

And Hard West was actually pretty cool withe a very unique story.

Hard West was really good, the magic gave it something of a different edge, but in a good way. I'll be replaying that one for sure.

I have to finish that one eventually. Got sidetracked and left it, never went back. Good game.

I also never finished Hard West. Did 3/4 of it, then it crashed and I needed to replay 30 minutes again, I said to myself I would come back to it later and I never did. Reinstalled windows in the meantime and lost saves. Eh..

Hard West put me off with its silly factor, or at least that's what it looked like to me. Never played it, but I recall ridiculous weapons, unrealistic abilites, etc. I want my westerns serious, damn it.

This one looks interesting.

Looks interesting. I also want a wild west RPG.

Red Dead Redemption was close. It had the open world and a great atmosphere. If they would have added more quests and made the story less likely ear it would have been great. Don't think it ever got a PC release though.

It looks interesting, but I can't tell if it's trying to be a mission based tactical game, or a western themed 4x game. It's unlikely that the same engine/rules set will be able to do both well.

You're not suggesting that the developer might be overpromising, are you? :O
