Our take on Ritual: Crown of Horns
Rather than using a standard twin-stick shooter structure, combat centers on deliberate auto-aimed shots, weapon switching, and split-second planning. Its horde-defense format is framed by a witch’s ongoing ritual, while the alternate Wild West setting replaces a conventional frontier adventure.
What is Ritual: Crown of Horns?
Fight enemy hordes while a witch performs rituals, switching between firearms, spells, and power-ups during combat.
The game follows a resurrected bounty hunter and the witch who forms an uneasy alliance with him. Missions take place across a Weird West setting, with choices about missions and future unlocks. Weapons include shotguns, six-shooters, rifles, crossbows, and other unconventional tools. Capes, hoods, and amulets provide character buffs, while each level presents distinct challenges. An auto-aiming system emphasizes deliberate shots over uncontrolled firing. Combat rewards quick decisions and planning rather than button mashing.
