If you like Dungeon Crawlers and Western games, this is for you. It's fun, challenging and has a nice little story while you blast the undead. My only critique is how janky the controls can be sometimes. It'll be finnicky on when it lets you dodge, slide in and out of cover, or just the movement while in combat alone can "stutter". If the movement was smoother it'd be a 5/5, but it's still definitely a 4.5/5 in my book.

It not a bad game all together. i like the overall theme and all. Granted the sound cues are repetitive at times and the camera angle can be annoying but nothing that would warrant a dislike. The real reason this game has been disliking it is due to its bugs. Sometimes they're minor, sometimes they're just straight up game breaking. There's the usual sound cue playing too late or message to late. Perfectly normal for me. Then theres slightly worse stuff like character's ai just ceasing with enemies not moving or fighting, or the enemies jittering back and forth. Again nothing too drastic and the usual for glitches. The biggest glitch I've seen was during a boss fight. The boss has this spray attack that, basing off the other enemies' spray attacks, should only fire maybe 8 shots. This boss fires hundreds of shots. In a game about hunkering behind cover, this glitch would decimate any cover I hid behind. The boss's shots were better than the usual shots as in they would pathfind to you, with this glitch I would have shots circling around my character constantly damaging me. The dodge animation would have too large of a cooldown to dodge anything. Anyway rant over
TLDR: It's a good game overall but enemy ai bugs out sometimes game ending. Probably won't play much more
