Play as a cowboy or an unlockable character on a mission to rescue a kidnapped partner from bandits. After reaching them, you must also make your way back home.
Explore randomized canyon levels, searching for weapons, ammunition, treasure and other captives while dealing with bandits, wildlife, traps and bosses. Take enemies on directly or use cover and tall grass to sneak up on them; you can also use TNT and ride horses.
Choose a character and starting loadout, then collect weapons and upgrades during each run. Rescuing people can offer a choice of upgrades or bring companions into your group. New characters and starting gear unlock as you play, and the game supports local co-op and adjustable difficulty.
Players often praise the responsive, satisfying gunplay, the range of weapons and characters, and the choice between stealthy approaches and direct fights. Local co-op, the western pixel-art style, and the sound and music also earn positive mentions. Some reviewers find the challenge frustrating, while others say the stages and bosses offer limited variety or that scarce supplies and navigation make runs tedious.
