5 best western games on PC

1. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

A shooter telling an amazing story of a shooter who during his life fought with many legends of the Wild West: Billy the Kid, Jesse James and others. The main thing in the game is the gorgeous shooting mechanics. Slow-mo, kill streak bonuses, many types of weapons - everything is aimed at ensuring that the player gets the most out of the battles.

Gunslinger is also very stylish. The sounds of bullets flying past make you recall the classic cowboy films, and the bright colors and absurd dialogues seem to have migrated into the game straight from some old comics.

2. GUN

Open-world action game from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and writer Randall Johnson (Mask of Zorro). The main character named Colton must find the villains who ruined his life and take revenge on them. GUN is essentially GTA III in the Wild West. A small but full of interesting characters and locations world, battles with bandits and Indians, horse chases under the scorching sun - there is always something to do in the game. And if you get tired of the plot, then you can take a side mission to destroy some crime boss or even work as a courier.

3. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD

Action about a mysterious creature named Wanderer who lives in an unusual world. Despite the fact that the game takes place in a fictional universe, Stranger's Wrath is a true western. The game has all the attributes of the genre: scorched deserts, small towns, intense firefights and a hunt for criminals.

One of the main features of the action is that the arsenal of the protagonist consists of small creatures that he shoots at enemies with a crossbow. Some simply bite opponents, others paralyze, others shock them. When the enemy is defeated, he can be caught using a special device: they give money for the bandits, and it is much more profitable to take them alive.

4. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

Although Bound in Blood belongs to the Call of Juarez series, it is not related to the aforementioned Gunslinger either by the plot or the characters. Perhaps the setting and genre coincide: this is also a shooter, which takes place in the Wild West. To save the family, the two brothers must find the mythical gold of the city of Juarez. To do this, they need to use their abilities (one is secretive and dexterous, the other is strong and accurate) and kill a lot of bandits.

Missions take place in small open locations that can be explored between missions. In most missions, you can choose which of the brothers to play. This creates variety: the gameplay for each of them is unique.

5. Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive

The classic tactical strategy, which is considered to be a clone of Commandos. In Desperados, you need to manage a team of several mercenaries who hunt the head of a large gang. The core of the gameplay here is stealth. There are always more enemies than main characters. Therefore, the player has to act stealthily most of the time: quietly kill opponents, hide their bodies and make sure that his characters do not fall into the field of vision of the bandits. The game is colorful and very atmospheric, even if the graphics in it may seem outdated to some.
