A tense, methodical tactical stealth game where planning and precise execution are key to surviving the Old West.

What players say
Players praise the game as a classic tactical RTS with a western setting, but they split on whether the aging controls and design are tolerable or frustrating. Frequent saving and trial-and-error are expected, and some note glitches on modern systems.
