About
El Hijo - A Wild West Tale is an exciting spaghetti-western stealth game, in which you guide a 6-year-old boy on his quest to find his mother.
As a six-year-old, "El Hijo" must always sneak past the dangers of his world. As he overcomes his challenges, he gains self-confidence and cunning and with it more schemes to get past his foes. On his journey, he will find himself in a remote monastery, a harsh and unforgiving stretch of desert and a frontier town rife with crime and villainy.
The journey begins when a farmer and her son El Hijo are attacked by bandits who raze their farm to the ground. The mother decides to leave "El Hijo" at a secluded monastery in order to protect him. However, El Hijo decides that the monastic life is not for him and decides to escape. "El Hijo - A Wild West Tale" is a non-violent stealth game. Violence is instead exchanged with the mischievous, playfulness of a young child. Shadowplay is in the core of the game and "El Hijo" will often have to hide. Without needlessly adding new mechanics, the gameplay is extended naturally, as variations of existing mechanics are gradually introduced and then combined with each other to increase the challenge. These twists on familiar mechanics are often a product of the varied, increasingly dangerous environments that "El Hijo" must traverse to reach his ultimate goal.

👾 El Hijo - A Wild West Tale (🇩🇪 2020) Amusing stealth-puzzle game about a son trying to reunite with his mother. Cozy vibes, lovely art style and simple gameplay. Nothing much to add. 🎮 Played on Steam Deck Rating: 🌵🌵🌵🏜️▫️
Jeu très sympa. Ambiance plutôt cool et gameplay agréable.
Had to force myself through the first half of this game. Not planning to play through the second half. It's a lot of the same puzzle with different faces.
游戲總體不錯，但這稀爛的操控手感，游戲的很大一部很難度都是這操控造成的。
操作上很不順暢，上下樓層還會隨機卡住，又是BUG一堆，小孩跟小孩的互動簡直在耍智障，所有大人都是瞎子，看得心裡有夠煩躁，一個潛行遊戲可以設計得這麼糟糕
Bardzo fajna, przyjemna gra na krótsze sesje (godzinka gry na raz). Raczej z tych prostszych, nie miałem żadnych większych problemów logicznych czy strategicznych - czasami tylko trzeba się zastanowić jak przejść dalej, bo czegoś na pierwszy rzut oka nie widzimy. Ale to rzadkie sytuacje. Polecam, zwłaszcza w promce (30zł, pełnej ceny raczej bym nie dał) :) Cała gra na 7-8h. Do 9-10, jeśli chcemy uratować dzieciaki, a pominęliśmy je na jakimś poziomie i trzeba powtarzać misję. Produkcja nie posiada żadnych napisów czy dialogów, z wyjątkiem prostego interfejsu. Ale nadal ma fabułę i ciekawą oprawę wizualną. 7.5/10 PS. Dla tych, którzy lubią osiągnięcia - jedno jest takie, by nie dać się złapać na wszystkich poziomach. Niestety nie ma żadnego oznaczenia tego, więc jeśli chcemy to zrobić, od razu musimy tak grać. Lub potem powtarzać każdą misję (jest ich 30) - co nie ma sensu, bo nie zachowujemy boostów i itemków z kolejnych poziomów.
El Hijo – A Wild West Tale is an isometric-view, real-time tactics stealth game, especially suited for kids, where you have to help a little boy to find his mother unseen by various opponents/villains.

Devo admitir que no começo não tava me pegando muito, parecia muito pacato e simplório, porém depois foi me engatando, é um jogo singelo, bonito e que se tu consegue comprar a ideia te prende legal. Apesar de ser um jogo mobile (cá entre nós, jogos mobile dificilmente são genuinamente bons) foi divertido. Inspirar todas as crianças foi muito aconchegante, o jogo tem um epílogo que mostra todas as crianças salvas, então não tenha preguiça de inspirar elas, dá um final muito fofinho.
Wonky controls, especially when aiming. Bad Stealth and AI. The biggest culprits are the coyotes with a large line of sight and detection radius. Overall just feels like a chore when playing.
controles malísimos
