Bought it for $0.5 and it was an interesting experience. You move your pistols/hands with the left/right mouse triggers and shoot with q/e. You turn by pressing a/d. Aiming feels similar to surgeon simulator. I like the concept but I wish it was more of an “on-the-rails” style shooter with this aiming system; I don’t like the manual turning and getting shot from all angles at once.
It has some issues:
Most importantly, there are targets in spots that you have to hit while moving (pressing a or d) because you cant target them on the screen. You can’t move your guns far enough to the left or right to hit the target without shooting while in motion. I’m not sure if this is intentional but it’s very annoying. This also happens with some of the low targets. You can’t crouch and aim down low enough to hit some targets, especially on the last piggy bank shooting gallery.

Sheriff Exam
shooting mechanics are good but the shotgun needs some work imo - needs that shotgun spread, but overall pretty nice

I get that this is early access sort of since the devs are promising an update, so for the price, it’s totally worth getting it early. I hope they deliver with the exam mode..

Exoplanet: First Contact
UPDATE below the original review, 23+ hours in the game
I currently have close to 9.4 hours in the game, and I’m at the current ‘end.’ As such, I’ll provide my thoughts thus far:
1st question most ask, is it worth buying? In its current state, at 10 hours of gameplay, that’s a tough sell, but having a chance to perhaps have some input on how the final product turns out may be the tipping point for some.
I’ve had fun. I’ve thought about this game between sessions, which is usually a good indicator that it’s interesting enough, even in its current Alpha state, to keep me guessing. I really hope this winds up as a completed project (have seen a few Alphas sputter and die, let this not be one!)

What if Firefly and Mad Max had a Western themed love child…?
Add in a healthy dollop of Fallout and you’d be looking at Exoplanet: First Contact a real find for those of you lucky enough to stumble across it’s store page.
At the moment - Update 7, mid Jan 2018 - sadly almost nobody has heard of this early access gem. This game is a serious sleeper. It’s a clever, novel concept, the gameplay and the story suck you in from the beginning. I’ve seen criticism of the graphics in other reviews but I guess that was prior to the last update because the desert looks great to me.

Wanted in Hell
Wanted in Hell™
Rumors of a hellish creature terrorizing the frontier have spread to every saloon West of the Mississippi. Grab a gun and saddle to join the hunt or become the beast for a wild west monster hunt game like no other.
Wanted in Hell™ is developed in Unreal Engine 4 and currently in pre-alpha testing.
Features
Multiple Play Styles
Turn in monster heads for bounties as a Hunter.
Haunt the lands and attempt to return to the land of the living as a Ghost.
Terrorize hunters and slay innocents as a Monster.
Randomized Environment
Every match you play of Wanted in Hell™ is different. In addition to randomized loot found in most battle royale games, entire buildings and environment areas are randomized. You will ride into the hunt aboard a steam engine train with randomized train tracks and disembark at the Terminus; a 4x4KM map that has four distinct biomes including desert, snow, canyon, and forest as dusk turn to night. Be prepared for every match to be just different enough to keep you on your toes.
Wild West Gunplay
Wield the legendary weapons of the wild west to face off against player-controlled hunters and monsters. These old gunpowder weapons have limited ammo and there’s no automatic fire. You will need to carefully time your shots to outplay your enemies with simulated physics projectiles that can ricochet off metal and penetrate wood. Ride to victory on over 30 breeds of horses with unique appearances and statistics in skill based mounted combat.
In Match Leveling System
Fortune favors the bold and hiding won’t help you. As a Hunter, you start at level 0 in every match. Reap the rewards of a stone cold killer by improving your stats and unlocking unique abilities to stand toe-to-toe with the monster and live to tell the tale.
Character Customization
The hunt has attracted folk from all walks of life. Stand out from the rest by customizing your Hunter with over one million face, body, and hair combinations. Dress to tell your story with a modular clothing and dye system featuring signature styles of the old west including lawmen, outlaws, cavalry, native American, and more.
Wild West and Wizards
Wild West and Wizards is an excellent example of a game that is based on taking one’s time to really get a good feel of what this game is truly about: exploration and discovery.
I genuinely say that because it is VERY important to understand what type of game it is, and how the developers (Lavaboots Studios) make their games to cater to a specific audience: for those who prioritise the exploration aspects over action and instant gratitude.
I cannot stress enough, if you are someone who comes into a traditional Lavaboots-design game thinking that you will have your every whim and daydream realised with updates by the hour that allow you live out your fantasies (however unfeasible), then you will almost certainly be disappointed - I predict that this title could certainly be panned by the aforementioned gamer for supposedly being “abandoned” or “waste of potential”, terms you often hear bandied about,

Not sure what the best way to message a dev is, but the game deserves a review anyway so I’ll do it this way. Questions for devs after review.
This is a super fun, if relatively simple, open world FPS RPG. The very kind of game I am always trying to find a new hit of after too many playthroughs of New Vegas and Skyrim, Dying Light and multiple Far Crys. This is not at the scale of any of those games and even lacks a bit of polish in places, but so far they seem to be continuing to add at a reasonable pace and what is there is, as above, super fun and ver playable. I just started a new character because I hadn’t played since they added the Gunslinger class, and this morning I hop on and they have added a third class! But I just finished (mostly) map clearing the desert, helped by todays bug fixes, so I won’t try out the Witch Doctor for a while.

Fallout: New Vegas
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn’t have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He’s an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And he’s here to do some business with the big iron on his hip

Siege of Avalon: Anthology
Really fun CRPG, as others have stated. Setting/Atmosphere is pretty on-point for representing a desperate band of defenders in an elongated siege, which only appears to be going further downhill. There are a lot of characters to speak with, most providing backstory or supplementary lore, with a few providing quests/offering to join your party after a certain point
IMO, you really have a good feel on your characters growth. Starting out as a complete amateur you have to take on what is essentially a suicide mission, which would have ended quickly had I not acquired the heal spell & prepared in advance, that sees your character fairly rapidly gain in proficiency in order to survive the coming perils. The AI companions have quirks (looking at you mage NPC that ran into a corner :P) but they do generally provide valuable assistance in engagements which would otherwise be extremely complicated, if not impossible

Imagine my emotion when i found this jewel in the Steam Store. Let me tell you it was a wonderful surprise. Even if the game has some issues about the combat pathfinding, let me remember to you all that this game has been released in the early 2000’s. I recomend this game to everyone who loves long epic adventures with a lot of interesting characters, and days and hours of fun. This game can be played with three different styles to choose, either you can be a warrior mastering the combat skills, or a scout and specialize in stealth and archer skills or a magician dominating all kind of spells. You will also find companions along the story that you can also equip and provide with items and armor and weapons and all sort of gadgets, they will be valuable partners in your adventure. Im very happy that i found this game again 20 years later after trying it’s demo version in the early 2000’s. I was starting to loose hope about finding it again. But now that i found it here, remastered and reforged i just cant’t stop playing it. it’s very similar to Diablo II, but let me tell you, this game is a masterpiece of is time, More dialogues, more stories, the characters and merchants you will find in this game are so numerous and complex, with stories to tell, gossips, and stuff. It’s very rich in every aspect. Please allow yourselves to play this game. It’s a rare wander.
