Really good game, but sadly it's very short.

IT'S HIGH NOON

I bought this at 2 in the morning, and refused myself sleep until dawn playing the absolute hell out of it.

The game is told through narration through the story, sometimes pausing for brief comedic moments (like steve falling asleep, ♥♥♥♥ing steve).

Gunplay is smooth, one of the better console ports I've played, the showdown mechanic is amazing.

A good varietly of guns, with special versions of each that can be unlocked through a three-tree in-depth perk system that focuses on three seperate things.

The level environments are amazing, though sometimes can be hard to navigate.

Graphics are similar to those in Borderlands 2, and have aged well for a game from 2013.

Replay value is there, with two other modes other than story mode.

The guy looks like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mccree.

Call of Mccree: Gunslinger was fun.

Maybe it's because I have a special place in my heart for western games from Red Dead Redemption, but I give this game a 9.5/10.

My d*ck stuck in revolver barrel... Ammm... Silas Greaves cool as hell. 10/10

Call of Juarez Gunslinger is an arcade style western shooter with excellent voice acting and great gun play. The story takes place in a saloon in Kansas where the hero, Silas Greaves, recalls his adventures in the wild west. The part of the game that you play are the stories being told around the table at the saloon. This means sometimes someone makes a comment or a claim that contradicts what is happening which leads to some very interesting story moments. For example, in the first level when you get to a certain point another character starts narrating what he thinks happened and you play it out...only to find out from Silas that things went a different way. This narrative device helps elevate what could have been a simple revenge story into something that is something along the lines of a mystery with some humor thrown in.

As far as game play goes, gun play doesn't get much better than this. You have three gun types but given this is a relatively short and often cheap game (price wise) it doesn't really ever become a problem. There are variants for each of the three guns (rifle, shotgun, pistol) but I honestly never noticed a difference. In addition you can dual wield pistols which is great in certain situations but not most. This is by no means a criticism as all guns are extremely satisfying to use. The action is quick and can be challenging, but is always reasonable. In addition to the relatively linear shooting sections of the games are duels (or essentially showdowns). These stand offs can start out frustrating as you have to keep both hands steady (on a controller it's manipulating both sticks, on keyboard and mouse it's A and D and the mouse). Fortunately you have infinite tries in the story mode as you'll sometimes find yourself facing off against more than one person, which can take awhile to get the hang of.

Visually and aurally the game shines. Gun sounds sound accurate and when the bullets start really flying and richocheting it really shines. The visual style is hard to describe. If you look at it from one way it looks like the game is lightly cel-shaded even though the majority of the 3D objects aren't outlined. It's a subtle effect that contributes to the over the top story being told. No western would be complete without great blood splatter and this game delivers in that area as well. Seeing that huge, spaghetti western style blood splat never really gets old.

In addition to the story mode there is an Arcade mode and a Duels mode. The arcade mode is a series of levels where you go for the highest score possible. Getting three starts requires keeping a combo up for most of the time which isn't too hard considering the volume of enemies but there are parts that do require some practice if you want those achievements. The duels mode is a set of 14, back to back duels in which you have six lives to make it to the end. This was initially quite challenging as you get an achievement for completing all duels "honorably" (meaning you don't draw before the enemy). The duels are taken straight from the story mode and some weren't even in the story mode to begin with which leads to some new encounters.

From an achievements point of view this game is overall very easy to 100%. The only areas where I had trouble were the arcade mode and duels mode but once you get the controls down it'll be a cake walk. There are of course difficulty based achievements, story achievements, and some special action achievements as well that are pretty fun to get (all but one but I won't spoil it).

Overall, Call of Juarez Gunslinger is a great deal. It's usually pretty cheap on Steam or other retailers and packs a great amount of content for what you pay for. I had a great time with it and highly recommend.

8.5/10

You're basically Mcree from Overwatch
It's high noon/10

The game has great art, music, lore, style, characters and story, not to mention the combat mechanics are so satisfying and well-made and thought out.

Buy this game, you won't regret it!
