Am I drawn to twin-stick shooters are are Weird West games just more likely to be twin-stick shooters? It’s weird how many I’ve already mentioned here. Maybe it’s just hard for me to find other Weird West games since the genre doesn’t have its own tag on Steam.
Anyway, here’s another one with very simple gameplay. It’s one-hit kills for the enemies and one-hit kills for you. The entire game is just fending off an unending horde of enemies. Every time you defeat 50 enemies you get a boss fight. It’s the perfect game for killing time on a Steam Deck.
Oddly enough, there’s another game with the exact same game mechanics (and art style?) that takes place in a cyberpunk world, called Akane . I don’t think they were developed by the same people but it’s weird how the only real difference between the two games is the setting (cyberpunk vs weird west) and the primary weapon (sword vs gun). They even both have boss fights after 50 enemies are defeated. And I enjoy both games.
