Kinda primitive. It takes old D&D races and tropes and puts them on Wild West backgrounds. They don't feet Western genre is much more interesting than that There are many more western RPG outthere...

Maybe it's just me, I don't like idea old D&D-like rules meets Western

Thank you for the review. I appreciate the time you took to look at this. But I have to ask. If you don\'t like old school D&D rules meets Western, then why did you even download this? It clearly states exactly what it is, and I admit I\'m a bit confused, as it seems like you\'re giving a poor rating based on a concept you don\'t like, rather than the product itself. Whenever I get less than a great review, I always want to know what I could do better. But if your issue is \"D&D rules meets Western\" is bad overall, not sure how I could improve on that. Thank you again.

This is a somewhat difficult review to write. I remember that this game failed to Kickstart, and I feel that there is a much better version of this game living in the creator's mind. But this is the version we have.

The Good: A B/X compatible Western RPG, with Gunslingers and Outlaws and rules for firearms. Options for Historical or Fantasy campaigns Enough monsters and treasure to run a small campaign for quite awhile, and if you run out... B/X compatible! A semi-Sandbox adventure included that can generate multiple sessions of adventure.

The Neutral: Beyond the cover, this game has no art. I'm OK with that, because I know art is expensive, but it does detract from the overall feel of the game. Editorially, the game could use another pass or two. Nothing major, but a few errors here or there.

The Bad: Nothing specific, just a general feeling that the game lacks something... some bright shiny thing to make it stand out from the rest of the B/X clones out there. Again, the sadness that this could have been much cooler if luck and money would have been in its favor.

As a free product, this gets an easy 4 stars.
