Guncho, the Wild West puzzle game where the challenge is "How do I make these people die" and the answer is "use more gun," is out now on the App Store and Google Play. This roguelike action-puzzler is set to take you to the West that never was and strain your brain cells at the same time.
Set in your typical cactus-strewn, ruin-dotted spaghetti western landscape, you play the nameless sombrero-wearing, poncho-donning gunman set to take on hordes of bandits at high noon. In this fast-paced, deadly turn-based puzzle game, you'll always be outnumbered but never outgunned.
Mastering the Mechanics
You'll need to leverage Guncho's mechanics, tracking and loading your bullets, using limited actions per turn to put yourself in the perfect position to dispatch your opponents. You can also use the environment to your advantage, like by taking cover, kicking dynamite towards opponents or impaling them on cacti with a well-placed shot.
We don't need no stinking badges
We've been following Arnold Rauer's work for the past few years, so we're very optimistic about Guncho. And it's undeniable that, however cheesy it may be, the world of the Wild West and all its revolver-toting sundown duels is still very evocative, especially with the low-poly art style and musical score accompanying Guncho.
Guncho comes from developer Arnold Rauers, with art & animation by Terri Vellmann, with Sam Webster providing the score. Get it now on your preferred platform, whether that be Steam or, of course, iOS and Android!
And if Guncho isn't your thing (or perhaps we should say, once you're finished with it), then check out our list of the best mobile games of 2024 (so far) to see what else we think is worth playing!
