We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Wild West action fans who want multiple character control schemes

- Players who want arcade-style combat with upgrade spending
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want one consistent control scheme across the full roster may hit a wall when switching between gunslingers
- Players seeking a quiet or slow-paced experience may bounce off the repeated fights against enemy hordes
- Solo players who do not want to choose between Story and Arcade modes may find the structure less suitable
Our take on A Fistful of Gun
The bounce point arrives at character selection: each of the eleven gunslingers uses a different control scheme, with some requiring a gamepad and others restricted to mouse controls. Players looking for one stable input method will face the main adjustment before the first extended run.
What is A Fistful of Gun?
Choose one of eleven gunslingers, each with a distinct control scheme and attack method, then pursue the railroad baron Clayton Boon across the Wild West.
Play alone, with local or online co-op, or face other gunslingers in versus mode. Combat sends characters against bandits, bears, braves, boogeymen, and other enemies across colorful landscapes. Fallen foes drop gold that can be spent on upgrades. Story and Arcade modes include sequences involving horses, rivers, and trains. Some characters use gamepads, while others require mouse controls, making control mastery part of learning each gunslinger.
