    The story aspect of the game is seen as a promising addition to the often underdeveloped sandbox western frontier genre, with hopes for a compelling narrative and optional RPG elements to enhance the experience.

    • “It fits the perfect criteria of a much-desired and extremely underrepresented genre of sandbox western frontier games that hopefully will have a storyline and an optional RPG feel to it.”
    • “The story feels incredibly shallow and fails to engage the player in any meaningful way.”
    • “There is a lack of depth in the narrative, making it hard to care about the characters or their journeys.”

    • “Another Steam-endorsed early access cash grab.”
    • “The monetization model feels exploitative and heavily favors players who spend money.”
    • “It's frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls.”
  • atmosphere1 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game aims to evoke a western setting, but players feel that it falls short of true immersion, often feeling more like a series of gimmicks, such as encounters with untrustworthy characters like snake oil salesmen.
