Westerado: Double Barreled Critic Reviews

Rarely do I sit down to play a game, finish it and instantly start a new playthrough; this is one of those games. Westerado is a great package with lots of replayability and can easily be recommended for fans of westerns or revenge flicks. No other experience that I've played has done revenge so well.

It's a fine choice for fans of adventure games and Wild West lore alike. The game is always giving you something fun to do, and its open-ended nature warrants multiple playthroughs.

Westerado manages to combine the good, the bad, and the ugly in one spectacular game that provides depth and entertainment in a small package rivaling even the major A list developers. The only downside is that it is very short, but it's one of the best games I have played so far this year.

It's well written, the pixel art and animation are nicely done, and the fact that you can draw your gun whenever you want, and that you can shoot key characters dead and just keep on playing, gives it a great sense of freedom.

A true 8-bit spaghetti western mini-epic, Double Barreled is a true shotgun-blast-to a belly-full-of-whiskey,good time. Frantic action, a reasonably large open world and complete freedom of action make this a truly standout and absolutely thrilling ride.

Truth may be the driving force of any revenge tale, but whether Westerado's truth is fabricated, earned, implied, or rejected is left to the player. You can practically do whatever you want, and, rather than damn the consequences, Westerado makes it easier to embrace them.

Westerado: Double Barreled dresses like John Wayne, shoots like Clint Eastwood and has Lee Van Cleef's attitude. It won't last too long, but it's a beautiful, clever and addictive experience. You won't find anything like it on Steam.

Don't let its browser game roots mislead you: Westerado is a rich and creative game that opens itself up to plenty of different approaches.

Pixelart western that combines a whodunit with an open world and consequences that even Bioware never dared to touch.

Westerado is a pleasant piece for all the Old-West lovers, who do not get discouraged by minimalism. It offers an open world and multiple ways to problem solving. This guarantees a high level of replayability to the game.

Westerado: Double Barreled has its issues, but it provides a grand adventure on a small scale and lets you find something new each time you play.

Westerado: Double Barreled is a satisfying and well-rounded title that will be a surprising gem to anyone who enjoys a good Western-themed romp.

Surprise of the Month – and not only at the independent game scene. Open-world western thriller with superb visual style.

Pixel art is everywhere nowadays, but Westerado puts it to good use: the spaghetti western fans now have something to please their tastes.

A refreshing take on the gun trope and a really entertaining game, although it just doesn't get further than that. A mere diversion, a brief although intense shootout.

Westerado is no Red Dead Redemption but it is a very neat tribute to Western films.

None of this is anything like progress—Westerado isn’t exploring new frontiers when it comes to genre work—but the romance inherent to the game’s emphasis on freedom sometimes comes close to overpowering a bitter remembrance of the very real history it cribs from.

An open world western adventure that has a lot of charm and creativity. It's a bit on the short side, but luckily is very replayable.
