Gunman Tales

Gunman Tales es un homenaje descarado al western clásico y a los arcades de disparos. Combina exploración, misiones de cazarrecompensas y fases de acción frenética que recuerdan al espíritu de CABAL, con ese toque de polvo, pólvora y supervivencia que engancha desde el primer minuto. Es un juego que parece simple al principio, pero conforme avanzas descubres que esconde mucho más: ritmo, desafío y una ambientación que te mete de lleno en el papel de pistolero cazafortunas.

[b] THE GOOD: [/b] there's a lot to love in this game!! biggest draw: the pixel art and animations are top-notch! charming art direction. locations / setpieces have tons of personality. gameplay is pretty good too. and there's a surprising amount of minigame variety (the shooting galleries are especially satisfying). overall, very very cool indie game! :D [b] THE BAD: [/b] several minor (non-gamebreaking) bugs. during the map phase, NPC "turns" sometimes fail to terminate. steam achievements trigger delayed-- and seemingly randomly-- after being earned. the sheriff repeatedly assigns the train mission. most of these issues can be circumvented by exiting to main menu and then reloading the save, but this is a bit annoying. [b] THE UGLY: [/b] i didn't like the default keybinds, and i wish there was an option in settings to customize them. the default keybinds for MNK were WASD to move and X / C to shoot, making it awkward to move and shoot simultaneously. i would've prefered to bind shoot to M1 / M2 or shift / spacebar. there's a settings option to use mouse input on arcade stages, but unfortunately, this didnt apply to duels or sheriff's horseback missions. i also wish there was a better tutorial. the "users manual" is informative, but its not interactive. its a 20 slide infodump. i wouldve prefered to learn the game by being guided through a series of initial tasks. i recommend that new players start with "arcade" mode before entering "adventure" mode, since arcade mode makes the trial and error of onboaring more enjoyable. [b] OVERALL: [/b] stylish, charming, fun!
