Gunplay was the linchpin that introduced the mechanics to work in unison. The participant would have three weapon varieties to select from: revolvers, shotguns and rifles. Every would turn out to be useful throughout firefights towards all those that wronged the one and solely Silas Greaves. We coupled that with on-the-move gameplay replicated from arcade video games, the place each kill is rewarded with factors. The trickier the shot, the higher the general efficiency.

It had all of the grit a Western ought to have and extra, but it surely by no means took itself too critically. Perhaps this was the key sauce that made it such an unforgettable expertise.
