You start out with a base amount of luck depending on the character and the greater amount of luck you possess, the less of a chance your enemies will hit you. Unfortunately, this felt tacked on and only took away from the actual combat.Įach of your characters has a certain amount of luck, which acts as a type of currency in combat encounters. There are even light stealth elements imbedded with some of the encounters, whereby you can subdue enemies. Depending on your location, the enemies position, and the cover that your enemy has, there is a certain percent chance of hitting your target if you choose to shoot. Hard West implements a simple cover system with your character either being fully exposed, half shielded, or fully shielded depending on the object you hide behind. Your characters can take a limited number of actions per turn, choosing when to move, and attack or perform a special action. This is where the turn-based strategy element comes into play as combat will feel familiar to anyone who’s ever played an XCOM style of game before. In each scenario there are two main loops with the first being the tactical encounters. While playing through the main campaign, it is told through eight scenarios with each maintaining their own subplot. It’s a captivating, well-thought-out narrative that will immerse you in the game world with ease. Without giving much of the story away, things went horribly wrong and Warren finds himself on a vengeful path selling his soul to the Devil in exchange for retribution. The story centers around Warren, a young man whose family has set out on the Oregon Trail. Developer CreativeForge Games is stepping up to the challenge with their title Hard West and it’s already ahead of the curve being set in the Wild West, one of my favorite settings in video games and movies.
However, I can’t help but feel the console is missing a marquee game like XCOM to truly deliver a grand experience in the genre. I’m always interested when I hear of a turn-based strategy title coming to the Nintendo Switch and with some great ones already available, including Wasteland 2 and Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics, there is no shortage of tactical combat goodness.
