UltimateChaos: Hey everyone! I recently watched Blazing Saddles and am suddenly on a kick of western games. Pretty much any genre okay (action/rpg/shooter/strategy)
Some ones I've found so far are Hard West (loved), outlaw (nostalgia) and Desperados (Haven't played this yet, hear it's fantastic).
Any other recommendations?
Aside from those already mentioned (and the sequels to
Desperados, which
Helldorado apparently is one of), there's also
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, which is a first-person/third-person shooter with platforming elements. Not set in the "Old West"
per se (it's an Oddworld game), but it's still basically a Western.
Similar deal with
Rebel Galaxy: arcade-style spaceship combat game, kinda like
Firefly with alien races thrown into the mix. Honestly, though, without the dirty country-blues soundtrack, I'm not sure I would even consider this Western-like, so YMMV. (Full disclosure: this is the only one of these I've played.)
There's also
A Fistful of Gun, which is Western-themed more-or-less-top-down shooter. It looks kinda "busy" to me, but if you're into shoot-em-ups....
Not on GOG, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention Rockstar's
Red Dead games (
Revolver and
Redemption, as well as the latter's
Undead Nightmare expansion). I know that
Red Dead Redemption is often considered about the best video-game Western of all time (not that there are that many to choose from). But again: haven't played it. EDIT: Also, I think
Redemption's supposed to get a sequel this year.
