The Wild West in A Fistful of Gun is shown in the form of a shooter with cartoon graphics. The overview opens from above, allowing you to coordinate actions and move in the right direction. To complete levels, you are given several lives, decorated with playing cards. During the game, you can choose one of 11 characters, each with their own skills and control features. At the same time, you can fight your way through hordes of enemies alone or gather your own gang of friends, consisting of 2-10 people.Fistful of Gun offers a set of game features:
- Variety of villains. The list of available shooters is small, but they are all unique. Depending on the choice, the control system also changes, which may require one mouse, keyboard or gamepad.
- Online shootouts. Having assembled a team for online play, you can arrange competitive skirmishes (a corral for cattle) or a cooperative passage of the story campaign.
- Atmosphere. Arcade or historical mode provides a chance to visit the prairies, ride a train, a horse, cross a river, shooting hundreds of enemy characters along the way.
The story offers the player not only to uncover the plot, but also to search for side quests that promise a large reward in gold, whiskey and weapons. Additional conditions, in the form of pushing a minecart or collecting alcohol around the location, do not allow you to relax. To make overcoming difficulties a little easier, the hero has access to improvised items (for example, a trough on his head for protection) and transport. The entourage is enhanced by pleasant pixel graphics that support the old-school direction.
