Hard West 2 Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Just about anything can be made better by the addition of the supernatural. Pirates of the Caribbean exploited a winning formula with its ghostly buccaneers, Stranger Things puts the demons in D&D, and Hard West has hit a home run with its tales of the weird wild west. An XCOM-like tactics game, except when it isn’t, Hard West 2 brings some up-to-date ideas to the poker table. It starts with a train, as many of the best things do. You’re robbing it, naturally, and having done your research you’re sure there aren’t many guards. ‘You’, in this case, are Gin Carter, a horse-riding, hat-wearing, six-shooter aficionado who’s the nominal leader of a band of outlaws. This train heist is gonna make him rich, you’ll see. With him are Laughing Deer, Native American melee specialist, Flynn, who appears fragile and keeps to the shadows, and trick-shooter Kestrel Colt. The train guards don’t stand a chance, except there are more of them than you expected. Happily, you have certain advantages, which stand you in good stead throughout the game. The first is that your characters have three action points rather than the traditional two. TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

This means they can move, heal, and still shoot. Or sprint into cover and hunker down for a better chance of evading incoming fire. Trick shots mean ricocheting your bullets off hard surfaces to negate the effect of cover, essentially outflanking the enemy with unfairness. To facilitate this, wheelbarrows, piles of junk, and non-explosive barrels are scattered around levels. You can even ping a bullet off hanging light fittings. Then there’s luck, the addition of which makes your attacks more accurate. It’s bravado, though, that makes the biggest difference. Kill an enemy, and your action points are refilled. It’s so simple, but affects battles in such a profound way. Suddenly they’re chains to be yanked on, to see how far they go. Living enemies are stepping stones toward your objective, at the risk of overextending and getting cut to pieces the next turn, or leaving other characters behind as you take one on a killing spree. This, at least in the early stages, means Laughing Deer is a killing machine. Get him in close, add a dose of luck, and he can club anyone to death, instantly refilling his AP to move on to the next hapless victim.

Luck will eventually run out, and enemies with more health arrive, but he still hits hard. That makes it all too easy to leave him unprotected, standing miles away from cover or allies when the turn ends just because you were having too much fun tearing through bad guys. Back on the train, you’ve made your way to the driver’s compartment. The loco goes into a tunnel, everything goes black. When it comes out the other side, it’s crawling on hundreds of centipede-like metal legs, which is unusual for a steam train. There, stoking the boiler, is a man who turns out to have some interesting powers of his own, eventually revealing himself to be Mammon, the devil himself. And he wants to play poker. Of course you play. Of course you lose. The stakes were only your very soul, but if you’d won he’d have given you the centi-train, making it a very tempting offer. And he seemed like such a trustworthy guy. The loss of your soul, interestingly, stops you from casting a shadow. I’m not sure how that works.  You wake up in the overworld map, a departure from the XCOM-like base-building globe, and something more like Total War’s strategy layer mixed with a 2D RPG.

You wander around up here, discovering towns, mines, and weird things next to the road, generally getting yourself into trouble and switching to the turn-based combat mode to get yourself out of it again. You dig up (sometimes quite literally) new members of your posse with new abilities, have short conversations, make decisions like whether to take supplies or leave them for the starving villagers, and investigate the uncanny. Mammon and his centipede express to Hell are still out there somewhere, making a mockery of both timetables and 19th century engineering practices as they thunder through the countryside. Killing him could get you back your soul. It’s worth a try, anyway. And it might be fun. In Hard West 2, where you recharge your gang’s Action Points by knocking out an enemy, it will be instantly familiar to anyone who has dabbled in recent strategy games like Gears Tactics. However, while those games rewarded successful executions with a single extra action point for your teammates, entering Bravado in Hard West 2 will refresh all gear and the kaboodle for the character you’re killing, allowing them to take another full turn.

right there. With proper planning this can lead to some pretty outrageous chain attacks take down seven enemies in one go pretty much with just one character in this case it might worry some of you that Hard West 2 will be too easy on the team Ice Code Games has been particularly mindful during development. Whereas in XCOM-like games, you generally hide behind cover, use surveillance, and basically react to what the enemy does and wait for the opportunity, Hard West 2 is definitely a more aggressive game. I’d say it’s also a more compelling cowboy fantasy than other western-themed tactics games. Sure, other games focus more on stealth, which often favors, if not needed, a softer approach by default. The game starts with a classic train robbery, only this train belongs to the Devil himself. It really is something quite crazy and at the same time original. Your party of characters in Hard West 2 are much more robust than their 2015 predecessors. While leaving characters out of cover often spelled certain doom in the original game, thanks in no small part to their permanent punishment. Fly Corp

your party in Hard West 2 now has more HP as standard, and falling in battle will have you starting over from the last checkpoint instead of struggling with drastically reduced numbers. I’ve been waiting for a sequel to Hard West for a long time, the “lovecraft western” as Stefanos Koutsoukos wrote in his review for this site. Although the setting (wild west with a horror/demonic tinge) and gameplay (turn-based tactics) were among my favorites from the start, it was nevertheless several years before it made it out of the backlog. In the end it turned out that I should have prioritized it because, despite the various bugs and the relatively low level of production, I enjoyed the game from start to finish. This time the development task fell to Ice Code Games and it remains to be seen if the sequel managed to evolve the series. Put your six-shooters on and let’s go! Our story begins somewhere in the Hard West with a group of outlaws trying to rob a train that is (supposedly) carrying a great treasure. Unfortunately for our (anti-)heroes, however, the treasure turns out to be bull or, more accurately, sulphur.

Show Your Bravado.

Although they manage to cross the train after a fierce battle, they are confronted by a mysterious figure who reveals himself as the archdemon Mammon! The gang leader in a desperate attempt to save his people challenges the demon to the ultimate gamble: To play a hand of poker for their fate, with salvation as the prize and their souls as the price. Unfortunately for him, our hero hadn’t heard the adage about “making a deal with the devil”, he plays the perfect game but the demon (of course) cheats and takes their souls! Shortly after the leader is rescued by a member of his gang and sets out to seek out the rest of his companions with one final goal: To get revenge on the demon and regain his soul! The relatively experienced player of turn-based tactical games will have no trouble adapting to the gameplay of Hard West 2 whether they’ve played the first game or not as the action follows the familiar style of modern XCOM. Exploration, character equipping, questing and roleplaying elements take place on the world map of the area you’re in.

while tactical combat is conducted on separate maps designed specifically for each mission. The combat interface also follows the XCOM path with the familiar yellow boxes showing how far you can move and the ability bar at the bottom of the screen with the actions your character can perform. The most important innovations of the combat system can be summed up in three words: Luck, Ricochet and Bravado! A character’s Luck rises after various events (e.g. a missed shot) and increases the accuracy rate of the next one. Ricochet refers to the ability to ricochet your shots on various objects on the map so you can hit enemies in cover, while Bravado allows characters to replenish all their action points if they kill an opponent. These features also give the combat a puzzle-like feel since in most cases you are faced with numerous enemies and you have to make the most out of your skills, carefully selecting targets and abilities in order to give your units multiple action point replenishments. When the above features are working as intended, the game makes you feel like the ultimate badass as you and your four-team squad mow down hordes of enemies in a carefully choreographed ballet of violence and blood.

The RNG factor is present to some extent but in the majority of cases the right strategy will minimise it. However, there are some instances of missions where I believe that proper balancing has not been done and survival relies more (or exclusively) on save scumming than on the correct moves. Especially one mission that closes out one of the campaign chapters I found it impossible to complete without multiple Save/Loads since the difficulty skyrockets and enemies come in waves from all directions. Of course I should mention that the version on which the review is done is pre-release, so I don’t rule out further balancing with a day one patch. The exploration phase of the world map is interesting in its own right but it doesn’t offer the depth of games like XCOM as there is no resource management, base building or anything like that. There are however light RPG elements as at various points in the main quest and sidequests you will be asked to make decisions that will affect the Loyalty of your party members. Increased Loyalty leads to the gradual revelation of the character’s backstory as well as the availability of additional options for solving quests. Otherwise the world map is mainly used for discovering additional sidequests, healing the team at a doctor and buying new equipment and supplies.  THE DIOFIELD CHRONICLE
