Hard West is a satisfyingly creepy mash-up of six-gun horror and tactical combat.
Hard West is a turn-based strategy game that gives you an authentic western experience whilst pushing you to the limits of your ability.
Despite dragging its spurs, Hard West successfully captures that Old West feel. Just know what you're getting into.
The presentation is aced, but Hard West's turn-based combat is too rote to be engrossing.
