Its like a dumbed down version of Helldivers 2 with much less content.
However, the game is still good because the combat is still enjoyable. My biggest issue with the gameplay is that enemies will spawn all around you at certain instances, which is just annoying. As in Helldivers, where the bugs and robots, etc all come from a hole, or a ship, or multiple ships. These enemies just appear 20 yards ahead.
There is definitely not enough to make each run different. The "jokers" (upgrade cards) just slightly modify the gameplay. Only when you stack the same joker 5 or 6 times do you really notice something drastic. The fun part about rogue likes is that one run where you become unstoppable, and there just aren't many, if any, of those moments in the game.
The game is also relatively easy, compared to something like Helldivers 2. Helldivers 2 basically requires you to play with other people to complete the hardest missions, whereas I was basically able to run through the whole game on the highest difficulties by myself.
I rarely died, I think 3 times in total...and of the times I did it was because the character was struggling to pick up a health bottle that was on the ground but rendered invisible because of the environment...and if you hit pickup after you picked up the health it just drops it. Pretty annoying.
The inaccurate guns were also just annoying to play with. Guns like the shotgun, quad, etc, that have bloom applied are very frustrating. The game relies on pretty accurate shooting for certain enemies and it is frustrating to watch shot after shot miss because of RNG. Accuracy weapons like the sniper were much more satisfying, but some clipping issues on the environments was another layer that just removes enjoyment.
I hated riding the horses, I just ran everywhere using the dash jump to gain speed. I don't know why you can't shoot while on the horse. I was so confused when I started because it obviously should be possible, but IDK. The little puzzles got old fast, and were not enjoyable...Helldivers 2 has a similar issue but I found those games puzzles more satisfying partially because they were under stress, but it also felt rewarding to try and do it faster each time. The puzzles in Far Far West rarely have stress, and can be tried over and over again while having very little resets.
I don't mind playing it. I liked it more than Fireteam Elite, but less than RoboQuest & Helldivers 2.
If it was more than $15 it would not be worth it.
Bug/Glitch/Crash/Framerate wise, it ran beautifully, had absolutely zero issues. Never played coop so I can't comment on the online side. But Solo, Offline Mode, it was wonderful.
