Hard West is a Turn-Based Tactics game developed by CreativeForge Games, published by Gambitious Digital Entertainment, and released in November 2015 for PC. The game is set in a Weird West universe, following the story of Warren, a farmer who gets murdered by bandits and comes back from the dead to seek revenge, and his father, as well as other protagonists who intervene in secondary story arcs.The game includes elements of exploration and RPG. Using a worldmap, players advance the plotline by moving the party between points of interest. Reaching them triggers Story Branching dialogs, which can either benefit or harm players, such as new party members or items. Each scenario has its own gameplay quirks, which usually alters this sequence in some way.The combat sequences are turn-based, and each character has two actions per turn (moving, reloading, shooting, using an item or an ability), using most weapons at the beginning of a turn consumes both action points, with parts of the scenery providing cover. Each character can carry two weapons, two consumables, and one trinket giving a permanent bonus, enemies have an overwatch mode. The combat also has more original elements. Each party member can equip up to five poker cards, which grant stat boosts, as well as either active or passive abilities. Some sequences start with the enemy being unaware of your presence, which allows one to position the party for an ambush.In 2019, Silver Lynx Games funded Hard West The Board Game through Kickstarter.The sequel, Hard West II, was developed by Ice Code Games and released in August 2022 for PC. You command Gin Carter and his posse, a gang of bandits and murderers who bite off more than they can chew when they accidentally rob a supernatural train belonging to the Devil of Greed himself: Mammon. Gin attempts to gamble for the Ghost Train - and loses, whereby Mammon lays claim to the posse's souls and leaves them stranded in a dying Northwest America. The gang resolves to do the impossible: chase down the Ghost Train, take back what's theirs from Mammon, and send him straight back to Hell.The sequel reworked the gameplay basics of the original to play more like a Western movie. Every direct kill refunds the character's action points, allowing them to chain a killstreak or even give the whole gang multiple extra turns. Luck has been reworked as a currency which can increase the chances of hitting an enemy instead of acting as a shield/magic pool, while cover and hunkering-down are your main methods of defense. Half the game's guns have the ability to ricochet bullets on certain environmental objects instead of one guy with a card; even some of your enemies can use ricochets against you. Most importantly, the card system has been revamped. Cards still give stat boosts, but no longer give abilities; each character has their own unique active skill and a passive skill tree, both of which are upgraded based on the strength of their current poker hand. | |

Instant-Win Condition | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_13f5b1b | comment |
Instant-Win Condition: Averted in most battles (you either have to kill every enemy, survive for X turns, or lead the whole team to the exit point), but played straight on three occasions: The final battle of "Graveyard Shift" ends when the demon is defeated, regardless of whether there are still mooks alive or not (but only if the blood vials are destroyed). The final battle of "A Matter of Time" ends when Cassandra activates the machine. "Scars of Freedom"'s battle #1-2 requires Libertee to hit the gate switch and escape. She doesn't need to save the other two slaves or kill all the slaversnote But each slaver death means she gets more Ether to upgrade and maintain herself, so a full slaughter of these assholes is still profitable.. | |

Hero Antagonist: Solomon DeLear in "Law and Order". "On Earth, as It Is in Hell" ends with a fight between Warren's party and a group of the true heroes of the story, led by the Undertaker, determined to stop Warren from completing his insane plan. "In Gold We Trust" ends with Diego and Zacharias, two of Vasquèz friends, understanding the protagonist's true intentions and trying to put him down. | |

Unstable Equilibrium | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: Losing non-essential party members can make later fights more difficult, as you may have to fight the next fight with an incomplete team. Making poor decisions during Story Branching (or playing with injuries activated and suffering from many at once) can also cripple a character to the point that they're near-useless or dead meat. | |

Relationship Values | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_19a781f | comment |
Relationship Values: Each of Gin's five posse members has a relationship meter with him. To gain points, you need to put their needs above other posse members during a conflict or sacrifice a powerful opportunity to respect their wishes. Posse members with high relationship values will get permanent passive perks and can be called upon during story choices for better rewards. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Bittersweet Ending: There are two ways to unlock it, but it leads to the same final cutscene. If the player eventually chooses to fight the final battle as the Undertaker, or if the player keeps playing as Warren, then kills the Undertaker and his posse, and finally chooses the suicide, the cutscene tells that the Devil's plan have been defeated, that Warren is sent to Hell while Florence goes to Heaven. Downer Ending: If Warren kills the Undertaker's party then destroys the Purgatory, the cutscene tells that the Devil lied about finding Florence again: incapable of interacting with the living, the dead souls eventually flooded the world and caused the disappearance of humanity, leaving the immortal Warren alone in a dead world. Last-Second Ending Choice: This choice appears after the end of the final battle. Hit the switch, or use Warren's newest "ability". | |

Necessary Drawback | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155 | comment |
Necessary Drawback: Each type of firearm has its upsides and downsides. Standard pistols are good at short ranges, but lose power over distance. Some of them allow fanning, which fires three shots in quick succession at the cost of accuracy. 2-shot pistols (which also includes the 4-shot Lancaster pistol and the Chain Revolver) do less damage than standard pistols, but can be fired twice in the same turn. With the exception of the Chain Revolver, each of these weapons has a lower ammo capacity than regular pistols. The Chain Revolver, on the other hand, has a capacity of twenty rounds at the cost of being incapable of being reloaded. Shotguns are good close up and come with the Cone Shot ability, allowing the player the ability to hit multiple targets at once, but are useless at any kind of distance, have low ammo capacity, and do less damage to an enemy in cover than other weapons. Rifles are good at medium distances, but suffer accuracy penalties at closer ranges. Scoped Rifles are excellent long-range weapons and can penetrate cover better than other weapons, but, like rifles, suffer accuracy penalties up close and have to be reloaded with every shot. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_1d18887f | comment |
Warren becomes one in "As Good as Dead", with a touch of Pay Evil unto Evil. In "On Earth, as It Is in Hell", his goal is to invade and destroy the Purgatory, which would actually have terrible consequences. It turns that Warren was an unwitting pawn of the Devil. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: In "Hard Times", a mysterious man offers Warren to become better (two playing cards) in exchange for "a part of yourself" (permanently decreases Warren's luck stat). He is the same man met right before Warren's demise... In the beginning of "As Good as Dead", Warren turned to a cursed undead gunslinger after accepting the deal with his dying breath to avenge his (and his girlfriend's) death. It turns out that the same deal was offered to him before the (unwinnable) gunfight, but he didn't think much on it until it was too late. In "Hard Times", making a bargain with the local gang leader (you benefit from his protection in exchange for a commission of your gold mining) is a metaphorical example, especially when said gang leader keeps claiming a higher and higher commission, eventually turning against Warren's family when they realize they've given the gang leader too much money to spend on firepower. | |

| Hard West (Video Game) / int_23be181a | comment |
Patriotic Fervor: Deconstructed with Jefferson Burns, an ultranationalist who believes in Manifest Destiny as his gospel and even has the American flag in his portrait picture. He's outright suicidal and deeply haunted by the massacres of natives, even as he desperately attempts to justify them. If you order him to march with you in your final American crusade, he'll tell you he's realized he's done Just Following Orders and commits suicide. | |

Pinball Projectile: The Ten of Diamonds allows you to shoot specific objects to ricochet your bullet, thus allowing you to hit at full damage an enemy who is behind cover or impossible to aim directly; there's a Steam achievement for hitting an enemy after at least three ricochets. Strangely, this does not decrease the standard accuracy of the bullet.note This gets rectified in the sequel. | |

Cards of Power | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_3b72e6f0 | comment |
Cards of Power: Card Bonuses are abilities and stat boosts provided by equipping specific cards: 9s are survival cards; they give +1 HP and abilities that restore health. 10s are trick-shot cards; they give +5 aim and can change the rules of the battlefield, from forcing the battle into sudden deathmatch to ricocheting bullets in an otherwise straight shootout. Jacks are Shadow cards; they give +2 defense and work best in dark areas, turning the wielder into a vampire-like that can dominate the battlefield, but only when they aren't in terror of the sun. Queens are Crowd Control cards; they give +2 mobility and can either make the wielder invisible before and after a gunfight or hurt multiple foes at once (with major luck costs). Kings are Scanning cards; they give +4 sight and help you track and hunt down enemies. Aces are Luck Manipulation cards: they give +10 Luck and drain the luck of your enemies while giving you bonuses based on RNG. Hearts are Hunter cards; your character becomes a master of tracking and hunting down foes, with abilities centered around tearing apart those who are heavily entrenched in cover. Diamonds are Rogue cards; your character becomes a master of stealth, doing their best work in the shadows while setting up the battlefield and gathering strength for a final push. Spades are Gunslinger cards; your character works best under pressure, turning the tide with spam attacks and gaining bonuses for being outnumbered. Clubs are Tank cards; your character becomes The Dreaded, capable of freaking enemies out as they draw closer and no-selling attacks that would kill anyone else. And finally, Jokers don't give special skills but have multiple stat boosts and can flesh out any incomplete hand. Hand Bonuses provide a further stat boost and can obtained by equipping a set of cards that form a poker hand: High Card: +8 Sight Pair: +4 Movement Two Pair: +10 Defense Three of a Kind: +30 Max Luck Straight: +1 Hp/turn Flush: +15 Luck/turn Full House: +4 Movement, +30 Max Luck Four of a Kind: +15 Aim Five of a Kind: +2 Damage Straight Flush: +1 Damage, +1 Max Hp Royal Flush: +3 Max Hp | |

Hero Must Survive: Each scenario has a main protagonist who must survive the fights, as well as important party members who are involved in the plot (some other characters aren't plot critical, and only serve to provide more firepower during the battles). Losing one of those heroes results in a game over, unless you play in "Iron Man" mode, in which case you'll have to restart the scenario from the beginning. | |

Body Surf: In his debut appearance in "Graveyard Shift", Bathym Raum respawns by assuming direct control of his mooks, turning them into new copies of himself. You have to kill everyone on the map to banish him. During the last fight of the chapter, you can disable his body surfing ability by destroying his main talisman. During your final encounter in "On Earth, as It Is in Hell", you can disable his body surfing ability by destroying the five blood vials centered around his spawn point. | |

Downer Ending: If Warren kills the Undertaker's party then destroys the Purgatory, the cutscene tells that the Devil lied about finding Florence again: incapable of interacting with the living, the dead souls eventually flooded the world and caused the disappearance of humanity, leaving the immortal Warren alone in a dead world. | |

Empowered Badass Normal: Each player character is pretty badass by themself. Then you can equip your team with occult trinkets and playing cards granting supernatural abilities... Warren. He turns to an undead gunslinger during "As Good as Dead", but he already was pretty competent with guns since "Hard Times". You can also de-power his Healing Factor by removing his Ten of Hearts Card, if you wanted to. | |

Green Rocks: In "Method in Madness", it's eventually revealed that the insanity has been caused by a meteorite which landed in the area. In "On Earth, as It Is in Hell", Warren can get permanent buffs by absorbing meteorite fragments in his body. During "A Matter of Time", Cassandra will find mysterious rocks (implied to be radioactive) in a shipwreck. Their Native American companion will thoroughly recommend against being anywhere near those weird rocks that have cursed dozens throughout her tribe's historynote You only get 100 gold if you scavenge this place, and Cassandra gets a debuffing sickness implied to be radiation poisoning.. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: In "Law and Order", Sister Rosario betrayed DeLear because he has a seer as an adviser. When she is in the party, there are no consequences for equipping her with occult trinkets or enchanted playing cards. Cassandra's premonitions are described to give her horrible headaches, justifying why she must rest to use her gift again. In her character sheet, it doesn't give a negative modifier to her stats, which means that entering a fight without having rested (and thus, with a crippling migraine) won't have the slightest effect on her fighting abilities. | |

New Game Plus: The Fate Trader allows to any previously-unlocked special items and weapons in any freshly-started scenario. It's an interesting variation in that you don't have to complete the entire game to get it, the requirement only being to unlock the specific item that's considered to be a special trinket, and that any unlocked item is available for purchase whether you're playing a scenario that's later or earlier plot-wise from where the item unlocks. | |

Critical Existence Failure | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_64f0c18c | comment |
Critical Existence Failure: Averted for the party members if you activated the "combat injuries" feature. During fight sequences, any attack that deals over a damage thresholdnote Standard 5HP, Squishy Posse mod 2HP turns into a persistent debuff called an 'Injury', which negatively affects various stats, the most common of which lowers max HP. After being carried through two fights, a wound is healed and replaced by a "scar", like lost organs or cracked limbs or even brain damage, which permanently lowers one stat but permanently increases two stats to compensatenote With the exception of Gushing Wound, an extra-debilitating injury that lowers max HP by 3. Its corresponding wound is Punctured Abdomen, an outright upgrade that has no negative debuff and regenerates 1 HP / turn, making scars a viable means of leveling up characters - by mutilating and crippling them. Played straight for the party if you didn't activate the option. | |

Unwitting Pawn | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_733e007a | comment |
Unwitting Pawn: Warren is eventually revealed to be this for the Devil. Telling him that he could see Florence again if he destroys the Purgatory was technically true, but it forgot two details: 1) the dead spirits are unable to interact with the living 2) releasing them would eventually cause the extinction of humanity. Oh, and the worst thing? The mere existence of the undead Warren is a bad enough violation of nature that it is what caused the souls of the recently departed to be trapped in Purgatory (Florence eventually goes to Heaven after Warren's death). | |

Always Accurate Attack | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_7ba493b0 | comment |
Always Accurate Attack: The Golden Bullet ability allows a character to have a guaranteed hit on any enemy within line of sight of the party, completely ignoring cover and range. Yes, this includes your nine-barreled shotgun. Scoped weapons have a special attack that always hits a visible target, even if the hit chance is 0%, at the cost of two action points. The major drawback is that these weapons have one-bullet magazines, and reloading costs an action point, which means the shooter either uses two turns for one shot (that may be useless if the enemy is behind cover) or is in a bad position for sniping. | |

Optional Stealth | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_80580ffe | comment |
Optional Stealth: In some fight sequences, the enemy isn't alerted at the start, and remains blissfully unaware until you open fire, enter their detection area, hold them up, or perform a specific action scripted to start the combat. Since most of those missions require you to shoot everyone, stealth is used to gain an initiative in combat by stealing optional objects before their guards pull out guns, and then get into strategic positions. Some missions can be played perfectly in stealth (such as Reverend Ashmore's rescue in "Graveyard Shift" or the bank robbery in "As Good as Dead"). | |

One-Hit-Point Wonder | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_8df14c99 | comment |
One-Hit-Point Wonder: While it's normally averted, there is the card ability "Equalization", which drops the hit points of every character on the map (enemies and party members) to 1. This is especially dangerous for the ability's user, because, being a card ability, using it consumes luck, which also decreases dodge chance, and requires two action points to boot. Which means the 'great equalizer' is typically the most likely to be targeted and then greatly neutralized next round. | |

"In Gold We Trust" is about how Vasquèz became the Masked Man. The former prostitute saved and then recruited by Hardin and Cassandra during "A Matter of Time" reappears at the end of "On Earth, as It Is in Hell" as a member of the Undertaker's party. H. Persons, one of the available party members in "On Earth, as It Is in Hell", is stated to be an ex-Pinkerton obsessed by some meteorite fragments. He is probably one of the "Persons" from "Method in Madness". The demon Bathym Raum, the big bad of "Graveyard Shift", appears as an NPC during "Law and Order". He eventually joins the party for the final fight of the chapter. Lafortuna, the unseen gang leader serving as a villain for the beginning of "In Gold We Trust", is also involved in the events of "A Matter of Time", as being involved in the search of the Protector, as well as being the organizer of a poker tournament which you must enter to advance the plot. | |

Swap Teleportation | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_989e2092 | comment |
Swap Teleportation: Flynn's action skill lets her trade places with anyone else within line-of-sight while dealing scratch damage to them. The base skill also damages her and has a cooldown of 1 round, but the second tier has no cooldown while the third tier doesn't damage her and causes enemies to bleed. | |

| Hard West (Video Game) / int_9e491b41 | comment |
Empathic Healer: Lazarus' action skill lets him swap his HP and status effects (positive and negative) with those of a nearby allied target, trading their wounds with any of his. His abilities allow him to self-heal said wounds and negative status effects. The second tier lets him swap with enemy targets (devastating if Lazarus is critically wounded) and the third tier increases the range. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: The ricochet ability. The hit chance of a ricochet is only dependent on the gunslinger's base aim and distance to the target, and not the ludicrous aiming and math skills needed to hit a bullet at an exact angle of a fragile metallic structure to bounce off and shoot a squishy. There's even an achievement for killing someone with a shot that ricochets thrice. The golden bullet card active ability allows the wielder to shoot a target with 100% accuracy and the maximum amount of damage for the gun, regardless of cover or any obstacle (the only condition is that someone in the party has spotted the target). | |

Short-Range Shotgun: Averted.

The Chessmaster: The Devil. Warren, his father, and most of their friends and enemies have been manipulated for decades into becoming villains and pawns that will eventually perform the destruction of the Purgatory, dooming humanity as the souls of the recently dead are haphazardly released and drive them insane. For instance, Vasquèz (AKA the Masked Man, Warren's killer) was sent on the journey that changed him into a psychopath by Cervantès, who is himself explicitly described as a Devil's servant, turning the whole "In Gold We Trust" scenario into another step of this convoluted plan. | |

Take Cover! | |

Take Cover!: The areas in which the battles occur have plenty of objects and obstacles (columns, tables, walls, stone benches, etc.) which can be used as cover. Being behind cover greatly decreases the damage inflicted and drops the attacker's accuracy. Half-cover typically reduces damage to half and full-cover reduces damage to a quarter, rounded down. | |

Regenerating Shield, Static Health | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_f898e3dd | comment |
Regenerating Shield, Static Health: Zig-Zagged. Luck is an overshield that causes all hits to miss, but it doesn't regenerate on its ownnote unless you use specific game mods, and even then the regen is just 10 Luck per turn / kill; once it runs out, your enemies are guaranteed to hit your character as long as their hit chance exceeds the character's remaining luck, even if said character is halfway across the map in full covernote Cover does prevent most of the damage, unless you have a mod to disable that, but the damage will causes their luck to partially regenerate. note On Hard difficulty, your enemies benefit greatly from this mechanic, as they have enough initial Luck to dodge your first few shots and have lesser radial overwatch while you don't.. Items can regenerate both Luck and Health, while Warren's 10 of Hearts card lets him regenerate health while he's in the dark. | |

Weird West | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_fa6cd5d7 | comment |
Weird West: The setting is explicitly described as such by the developers, being set in a grim western frontier beset by gun-toting demons, an inexplicable force driving people to madness, ancient curses, and a dark-suited stranger offering wealth and power to those down on their luck... for a price. | |

Last-Second Ending Choice: This choice appears after the end of the final battle. Hit the switch, or use Warren's newest "ability". | |

Badass Preacher | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_fea42091 | comment |
Badass Preacher: Cervantès, the Villain Protagonist of "Law and Order", is a high-ranking catholic prelate (Spanish Inquisition-expy) wearing the relevant uniform. It doesn't prevent him from kicking as much ass as his posse in gunfights. The description of his unique gun states that he (supposedly) received it from the hands of the Pope. Sister Rosario, still in "Law and Order", is a gunslinging nun who betrayed DeLear and can be hired by Cervantès. At the end of the scenario, she realizes Cervantès' true intentions and leads a counterattack against the protagonists. On the good side, there is Reverend Ashmore, a gunfighter hired by the Undertaker during "Graveyard Shift". He shows up along the Undertaker and Harrington during the final boss fight of "On Earth, as It Is in Hell". | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Hard West (Video Game) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Your posse members have beef. Flynn was brought up in a nunnery orphanage that abused the young acolytes, until she awakened her magic powers and burned the whole place down in a fit of revenge. Laughing Deer used to be a member of the Shadow Dancers, a terrorist tribe obsessed with getting revenge on imperialist America. When he assassinated a beloved peacekeeping chief on the orders of his boss, said boss abandoned and scapegoated him. Bill's old gang found a Tome of Eldritch Lore that slowly corrupted them. When they started summoning demons, he fled, and eventually hunted them down. It gets worse, as getting murdered turned his son into a ruthless bandit. Lazarus abandoned the Vatican due to its deeply rooted corruption. Eventually, he found himself fighting for his life in Hell where he managed to save DeLear. Cla'lish was the sole survivor of a genocidal massacre, and their spirits possessed her all at once. | |
