Hard West 2 Just Blew Into Town
If the West has been insufficiently Wild for you lately, worry no longer, pardner. Hard West 2 just launched today on Steam and Good Old Games with a little discount until August 11. Combat the living living and living dead out on the American frontier. Don’t forget the trailer, of course.
Con man Gin Carter raids a legendary “ghost train” for gold, but discovers that it’s haunted by the Devil himself! Gin must now round up a posse of supernatural and extraordinary outlaws to save his soul. Compared to its predecessor, Hard West 2 upped the ante on its gameplay. There are new ways to tear things up and turn the tide of battle with your posse’s configuration, skills, and their traits. Every kill builds up Bravado and refills Action Points, letting you generate momentum and crush your enemies. Good planning and positioning can even shut down an enemy before they even have a chance to act. Be creative, be dastardly, and be on your A-game! Whether it’s gunslingers, witches, or something more alien, you can build your squad with skills and improve them with the Deck of Haunts. Give them a big iron, nice trinkets, a can of beans, and some whiskey to keep them going.
