Deadwater Saloon Prologue

What a fun game. I has a Red Dead Redemption feel to it, down to having the pigs sort out bodies for you. It's funny, has the western grit vibe and the look is cute. How long you'll play this before you're bored is hard to say. I did get a bit frustrated with the small amount of action points you get and once they are up, you kinda just sit there staring at the town going about their lives until the points refill again. Overall I've played this demo a few times now, died a lot because of stress (even in my games I'm overworked man) and I keep coming back for more. This is on my To Buy list for 2025 for sure.

Игра "Deadwater Saloon Prologue" оставляет после себя двоякое впечатление. С одной стороны, привлекает стильный визуальный ряд с приятной, несколько мультяшной графикой и колоритные персонажи, погружающие в атмосферу Дикого Запада. Механика управления салуном, хотя и простая, вносит элемент стратегии: нужно следить за запасами, настроением посетителей и нанимать персонал. С другой стороны, геймплей кажется несколько однообразным и быстро приедается. В прологе ощущается нехватка глубины и разнообразия в задачах. Экономическая модель, хоть и понятна, требует некоторой доработки, чтобы избежать рутинного перемалывания одних и тех же действий. Сюжетные элементы пока представлены слабо, но потенциал для развития истории явно есть. В целом, "Deadwater Saloon Prologue" - неплохая заготовка для более масштабной игры. Если разработчики добавят больше контента, разнообразия и проработают сюжетную линию, то получится весьма интересная игра в жанре симулятора салуна. Пока же это довольно короткая и простая, но симпатичная демка, демонстрирующая неплохие наработки. Рекомендую ознакомиться, чтобы понять, интересна ли вам концепция, но не стоит ожидать многого от пролога.

норм

After playing the demo I am almost sold. It is a great start to a great game. I love all the different interactions and possibilities. At one point my bar was targeted by a group of bandits who roughed up my staff and had their way with the ladies. Another time I gained fame by participating in a boxing match and winning poker games. Keeping my saloon stocked and neighbors happy is a full time job but I wouldn't want it any other way in the wild west. The only thing holding me back is not seeing any recent updates or new work from the developer. Don't let it die like Deadwood.

Played a few hours so far of the game and have won my first duel! I do enjoy the game, there are a few medieval Inn games, but you just don't find them for the Old West and this one has done pretty good job so far. There can be some pretty rough random encounters that can destroy your reputation and it can take some to build it back up. All in all I am having a fun time. I can't wait for when you can design the second floor of the Saloon!

i like the game - is relaxing

not good its rather boreing game and money isnt good so overall very bad

I really wanted to like this. I liked pretty much everything honestly, but that suspicion system made zero sense to me. I tried investigating all the names that came up on the list over several days, but all I got was dirt. If it wasn't for that mechanic, if there was just a sandbox build and run a saloon without that added story... 1.3 hours, I think I gave it a fair try. The one good thing is that with the demo I didn't have to buy and then wait for a refund. ETA: One thing I noticed in my Activity was the achievements I earned. It says I got Tin Star for killing the sheriff, but I didn't do that. It popped up when I had gotten dirt on all of the people on the list and still not found anyone suspicious or having anything to mark them as different so I chose one of the ones without a job to frame. When the town kicked him out the achievement popped up. Except they hadn't really done anything because the next day he walked back in... That was why I quit the demo and decided I was done.
