Our take on Cowboy Life Simulator
The game combines ranching with exploration, quests, survival, progression, and combat rather than concentrating on a single system. That breadth comes at the cost of a more specialized focus on any one activity.
What is Cowboy Life Simulator?
A single-player Wild West ranching simulator about a businessman starting over after a failed venture.
Players build a ranch, placing a house, a goat pen, farms, utility buildings, and decorations. Ranch activities include growing and harvesting over 20 crops, caring for farm animals, crafting, trading with residents, and decorating a home. Players explore varied locations, investigate mysteries, and take on quests tied to Bravestand and its residents. Character development uses a Farm, Fame, Frontier progression system. Light survival involves collecting resources and attending to character needs. Combat includes shooting animals and gangs with upgradeable weapons, and players can ride a horse to explore distant parts of the frontier.
