How it feels

A slow, deliberate turn-based strategy game where you explore a procedurally-generated Old West, manage resources, and recruit outlaws to build up your town.

What players say

Players find it addicting at first, but most agree it is extremely short and shallow, with asset store models and a clunky user interface that locks up.
