During combat every character starts each turn with two action points which can be spent on either a move or shot each, although most weapons instantly end a character's turn upon being fired. Hard West's tactical gameplay largely follows the standards set by XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This way players can interact with characters, perform a variety of custom actions, hire new characters into the player character's posse or initiate trade or combat. Location visits on the strategic map are presented via simple text panels accompanied by static illustrations and allow the player to perform actions by picking entries from a list. The game is divided into two strictly separate modes, turn-based tactical encounters and a strategic exploration map where the player can travel a map and visit locations. Creatures such as demons, ghosts and undead gunslingers are present in the game's vision of the old west. Themes typical of the Western genre, such as bank robberies, lynching and the gold rush are commonplace in the game's world but also metaphysical beings such as Death and the Devil directly influence the lives of the local population. Hard West takes place in a heavily fictionalized version of the American Old West following standards of the Western genre but with the addition of supernatural elements, taking inspirations from XCOM: Enemy Unknown. A sequel, Hard West 2, was released in August 2022. It was released digitally on November 18, 2015, for Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux, and was released for the Nintendo Switch on March 7, 2019. Hard West is a turn-based tactical game developed by CreativeForge Games and published by Gambitious Digital Entertainment.
