'Cowboy Guns' Makes Shooting Virtual Bandidos Fun

Cowboy Guns is a wonderfully fun game where you play the role of "The Kid" aka "William Hickock" aka "Victory", a criminal defector who's now working to protect the wild west town of New Nazareth and the surrounding areas from the Crimson Jackals, the same gang that The Kid once belonged to.

The characters in the game are squat little mini people who waddle around to and fro and are downright adorable. Your own little mini person is expected to chase down all of the bandits, defeat the boss characters (whose names are things like "Pestilence", "War" and "Death") and save the town. To aid in your ultimate goal, The Kid is able to upgrade his armor, his boots (speed), and his assorted weaponry by collecting money and sheriff badge stars. At just $0.99, Cowboy Guns is a steal. There are lots of upgrades available in each category, and beating the game on normal mode unlocks a hard mode (where you get to shoot even more bandits and which is even more fun than normal mode), as well as a quickplay option, where you can shoot things without being bogged down by the admittedly bland character dialogue and storyline. Survival mode allows players to mow down wave after wave of heartless bandits with your shotgun, double pistols, minigun and assorted explosives, and it is immensely satisfying.

How great is this game? So great. If you’re a fan of cowboys, or shooting virtual bad guys, or if you just enjoy having fun, this game is totally worth it. Cowboy Guns isn’t groundbreaking or utterly unique, but it’s a damn good time with plenty of replay value. Chillingo Ltd and C2 Estudio nailed this one.
