As if aware of their disposable nature, the protagonists are apt to sacrifice allies just as willingly as they massacre locals. On the flipside, non-essential posse members rarely receive more than a paragraph of characterization. Warren, lead of three of the eight scenarios, receives the most nuanced development. Most are either selfish survivors, driven by want, or desperate pawns to dark puppet masters. Few of the point-of-view characters are heroes. The limitations of its scenario system and uneven plotting make their bloody marks upon its flanks, but it stands tall and brooding in the wind.Ībove all, Hard West is devoted to its gritty supernatural atmosphere.
Hard West is a grimly compelling Weird Western that features intelligent, tactical combat. Over eight scenarios, the story uses several point-of-view characters to connect personal stories of loss with the metaphysical matters of Heaven and Hell. It’s an ambitious dark Western that uses multiple points of view to build a sense of grandeur across a land of myth and despair. Hard West from CreativeForge Games is a recent victor of the Kickstarter development cycle. It’s always nice to take a break from the Kickstarter hype cycle to sit down and actually play a game that was funded with backer money.
