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.

Oui je recommande ce jeu, mais prenez garde, le jeu n'est pas si simple, y'a des niveaux assez retors, et il est un peu longuet, malgré tout cela reste un jeu agréable.
Agosto 2025 - 7 de 31 Juego simple pero bien hecho, al menos en su mayoría, no he jugado casi ningún juego de full sigilo por lo que tampoco tengo experiencia en ello y no sabría decir si eso es positivo o negativo para la experiencia de jugar este juego. Muchas partes parecen que no están del todo bien programadas y el "contenido opcional" por así decirlo, o sea llegar en cada nivel hasta todos los niños termina siendo mucho más desafiante que ir hasta el punto final para avanzar de nivel, creo que lo pudieron haber pensado mejor para que el juego en general te aliente a pensar bien tus movimientos y no solo la parte más de completista, de todas formas entretiene y sin ser un jugador habitual de sigilo lo recomendaría. 6/10.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

No real story or instruction? It wasn't really shown why we were doing things.... I finished the game in 13 hours.... and don't feel it is replayable. Controls were really janky, really cumbersome tbh. I 100% prefer Shadow Gambit and Shadow Tactics instead.
