Gameplay:

Choosing from a range of jobless drifters, assemble a team of hired deputies to take on missions, ranging from disturbances in the peace, to resolving dead or alive wanted notices. Enemies will not stand idly by for you to capture or kill them however, so your finest first person shooting skills are required to chase down these wrong doers, while also commanding your own team to control the scene.

Deputies:

Using an in-game menu, you can command your deputies to perform certain tasks, like patrolling, sentry and following. If a member of your team meets a grizzly end, they are gone forever. Try your best to keep them alive, so they may also reap the rewards between missions.

Environments:

In an 8-bit style, explore dusty towns, remote hills, snowy outposts and spooky graveyards. Great care has been taken to recreate these locations as realistically as possible using only the finest lines and polygons the 8-bit world has to offer.

Weapons:

Without getting too futuristic, there are some steam powered items to find, along with the usual knives, pistols, shotguns, rifles and … explosives!

Leaderboards, Perma-Upgrades and Achievements:
