After a train robbery goes wrong, outlaw Gin Carter and his posse are drawn into a supernatural Wild West struggle to recover his soul and pursue the Ghost Train.
In turn-based tactical battles, direct a small squad through gunfights using cover, character abilities, weapons, and shots that ricochet off objects. Killing an enemy restores that character’s action points, letting you plan chains of attacks across a turn.
Travel between missions on an overworld map, take on side quests, and make choices that affect companion relationships. Collect poker cards and arrange them into hands to unlock character abilities and bonuses, alongside finding equipment and supplies.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the aggressive kill-chain combat, the ricochet shots, and the poker-card system for shaping characters. The supernatural Western setting and distinctive companions also appeal to many reviewers. Others find that combat feels more like solving a puzzle than making open-ended tactical choices, and some report that missions become repetitive or rely on tight turn limits. Opinions on the story and voice acting are mixed.
