I found it compelling. Even if you don’t like tactical combat, you have to admire something so completely insane and very much its own thing when the world is busy making roguelike soulslikes platformers. It’s also an excuse to buy a cowboy hat of your very own.

Held back by a few shortcomings, Hard West 2 is still one of the best tactics games in the genre.

Hard West 2 brings the original game’s ideas to full fruition while sacrificing very little in doing so.

Hard West 2 has some refreshing ideas to consider, such as perks based on your deck of cards, and consistently refreshing action points by way of kills. Unfortunately, its over-reliance on a puzzle-like, kill-all-in-one-round concept also leads to a repetitive and tedious romp as time wears on.

Hard West 2 is a solid experience despite some shortcomings and missed opportunities. Ice Code Games crafted a unique and action-packed combat system while retaining much of what makes this type of strategy game so engaging. It may not have the production values or depth of either XCOM or Gears Tactics, but Hard West 2 still manages to be an addicting and satisfactory turn-based strategy experience.

Hard West 2 offers a fun mix of text adventures and turn-based strategy battles, with just enough of each to keep things fresh. Awesome and unique mechanics are highlighted in a combat system that forces players outside of their "overwatch" comfort zones, allowing new tactics not seen before in games of this ilk. A bit of fiddly control work does little to tarnish the stellar gameplay. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

For fans of turn-based strategy games, the paranormal, or even just Westerns, I have a hard time imagining a reason to not pick up Hard West II. Nearly everything that Hard West II attempts to do is accomplished very well. It offers fantastic and challenging combat, fun characters, an amazing setting, and some truly jaw-dropping moments.

The Old West is a setting that is just perfect for video games. A wide, wild world to explore, shootouts lurking behind every corner, dangerous beasts to take down, banks to rob, trains to assault, and so on. However, we have also seen an influx of games that attempt and, in most cases, succeed at combining the traditional Old West setting with supernatural elements. In this regard, Hard West 2 from Ice Code Games delivers a compelling experience. The setting is supported by a solid tactical RPG experience that may not be among the best, the most innovative, or the...

We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.
