Hard west art5/6/2023 ![]() Once your turn is completed, your enemies will then take their turn, moving and taking their shots against your crew. Character-specific abilities, too, can be used to turn the tide of combat for instance, Gin has an ability that lets him shoot at his foes while ignoring enemy cover, while another outlaw, Flynn, can trade places with an enemy at the cost of a slither of her health. That said, Hard West 2 revels in risk-taking, which makes combat much more adrenaline-soaked successfully killing an enemy will completely replenish your action points, which opens up more avenues for your gunplay, and lets you feel like a bona-fide gunslinging badass when you achieve a seamless streak of kills. One of the most obvious ways of increasing this percentage is to get physically closer to them-making headway towards your enemies without getting hit is the essence of combat here, after all-but you can also make use of the ricochet skill, which can allow outlaws to aim their bullets at a nearby obstacle, allowing these bullets to rebound off the surface to reach the noggins of your enemy. Hard West is told in a series of short frontier stories which play out as choose-your-own-adventure-style text prompts on an overworld map, and in XCOM-like turn-based combat scenarios. Then there’s the shootouts, with the chance of your attacks hitting an enemy reduced if they’re taking cover or are simply too far from your line of sight. ![]() Trading the dusty, sweltering heat of the desert for the piercing cold air of the mountains, Hard West 2 would see this crew traverse through the snow, visiting various towns, mining tunnels and other locations-at least in the game’s beta for now-with their travels interspersed by gunfights and hostile encounters with cowboys and otherworldly beings. The outlaws, of course, got the short end of the stick, which makes up the impetus for the rest of their gunslinging journey: to point a double-barrelled shotgun right in the face of the smug devil. As Gin Carter, you’re the leader of this merry band of outlaws who has somehow crossed paths with the literal devil-turns out the train that they were hijacking happened to be driven by this charismatic fellow, who decided to make them an offer they cannot really refuse. ![]() Like its predecessor, Hard West 2 is all about tactical combat and turn-based gunfights in the vein of XCOM, but not nearly as bleak, without the disposable soldiers, and imbued with a touch of the occult.
