Apparently Hard West 2’s protagonist has robbed a ghost train, and who’d athunk that would turn out to be a bad idea. Now you must chase the Devil across a bleak, supernatural wild west to reclaim your soul. That offers an excuse for some interesting level settings, including those that play out on horseback and on moving trains.
Noted XCOM obsessive Alec (RPS in peace) had nice things to say about the first game in hisHard West review, particularly praising its combat while being uncertain of everything wrapped around it. “I’d say it’s definitely worth picking up if your XCOM andJagged Allianceitches currently feel unscratched, but expect something to dip in and out of, not some grand timesink opus,” he concluded.
It’s due for release sometime in 2022, but in the meantime you can find more Hard West 2 details and screenshotson its Steam page.
